For anyone
looking to purchase fine jewelry,
online shopping can be a great
way to find the right piece at
the right price.
There can
be many advantages to buying fine
jewelry online – with
savings being one of the major
factors. Reputable online
jewelers usually have much lower
overhead costs, and can pass
those savings on to the consumer.
Another
advantage of buying fine jewelry
online is convenience – you
need travel no further than your
computer to choose your jewelry
and make your purchase. This
being said, there are things you
need to consider in order to make
your fine jewelry purchase a
positive experience.
Choose
a Jeweler You Trust
The first
thing you need to do is find an
online jewelry store that you can
trust. You will have to do a
little bit of detective work in
order to eliminate the less
desirable companies and end up
with a list of jewelers that you
feel confident doing business
with.
Find out if
the website is secure. The
jeweler’s website should
have 128bit SSL security.
This is an
absolute must when you are
purchasing online, since you will
most likely be using a credit
card or supplying your bank
account information. Somewhere
along the line you will be
supplying information about
yourself, and the 128bit SSL
security will ensure that no
unauthorized party can get access
to your information.
Also, any
diamond you buy, whether it is
online or from a store, should
come with a diamond certificate.
The
Gemological Institute of America
independently certifies diamonds
providing information on a
diamond’s characteristics
such as color, clarity and size.
This is your best way of knowing
the quality of the diamond you
are buying.
The
Online Jewelry Store Should
Provide Excellent Customer
Service
|
|
This
cannot be stressed
strongly enough. Before
you make a fine jewelry
purchase from a website
consider contacting the
jeweler’s customer
service department by
email and by phone.
When
talking to a customer
service representative,
ask questions and pay
close attention to the
responses you receive.
If the rep seems
irritated with your
questions or is spending
the entire phone call
trying to rush you into
buying a product,
consider that a
“red flag”.

If you
contact them by email, check to
see how quickly they reply. It
should take them no longer than
48 hours during the business week
– within 24 hours is the
ideal. Look for professionalism
and a helpful attitude in their
emails.
The
Website Should Be Informative
The
jeweler’s website itself
should have information on how to
buy a quality diamond, the
different types of precious
metals, etc. They should have a
wide variety of choices, and be
able to help you find what is
right for you. By providing you
with information the company is
helping you make an educated
purchase.
Look
for Quality Craftsmanship
What the
Internet can offer you is the
chance to shop several stores
without having to drive all over
town; this allows you to choose a
company whose fine jewelry shows
attention to detail and
craftsmanship.
The
Return Policy Can Be Important
What if you
receive the jewelry and are
dissatisfied? Review the
company’s return policy
before you buy so you know what
rights you have if you want to
return your fine jewelry
purchase.
See
If They Offer Extra Perks
Things like
free shipping add up to big
savings. If the online jeweler is
located outside of the state you
are buying from you pay no sales
tax.
Free
shipping combined with no sales
tax can make a big difference in
your bottom line. Some companies
offer a discount on your next
purchase. This can also save you
big money. If a company is
offering these or other
incentives, they will likely have
this information throughout the
site and in their shopping cart.
Your
Jewelry Purchase Should Provide
Good Value for the Money
When buying
fine jewelry, you are getting a
piece that will last a lifetime
and become a family heirloom.
Look for
fine jewelry that offers the best
value which is not only
determined by how much the
jewelry costs but by the quality
of the piece and the materials
used.
Online
jewelry shopping offers
convenience, selection and
value.
Consider
the factors above when making
your next fine jewelry purchase
so you find the online jeweler
that is right for you.
