Compare price, service and quality. e. The return and exchange policy are your protections so be sure to inquire and understand. b. Review any guarantees or warranties that come with the purchase. Ask for a gemological report for any purchase related to precious gems and a sales receipt.

Investigate the 'store' from whom you are making a purchase. Whether it's a brooch, pendant, necklace or 14k white gold watch, understand the stores reputation by checking with others that have made purchases including friends or relatives. Be sure the store has a long-standing, solid reputation in the community. Find out what organizations the jeweler belongs to and their membership requirements. Obtain a report on the business from the Better Business Bureau. It is far preferable to deal with a company that have gemological and appraisal educations so you know that what they are saying is based on actual knowledge.

When buying diamonds, pearls, rubies or 14k white gold watch on the Internet, look for a BBB Reliability seal to indicate membership in the BBB. Be sure to get all the particulars related to your purchase in writing as you do not want to have any disputes without evidence of what you believe was represented. Call the online store and get confirmation as to the particulars of the purchase. That having been said, getting everything represented in writing is very important. With all that accomplished, wear that jewelry or 14k white gold watch as often as possible.
