Don't 'pull the trigger' on purchasing antique dealer jewelry or watch or bracelet or any jewelry until you learn all you can about it so that you are a smart consumer. At search site or store, investigate their pricing, service and the quality of what they are offering. b. Get all the details about the online or store return policy and their refund policy. c. Ask about the seller's guarantee and/or warranty on the item being bought. Always get everything you relied upon related to the purchase in writing (e.g. sales receipt; gemological report; purchase details).

Investigate the 'store' from whom you are making a purchase. Whether it's a brooch, pendant, necklace or antique dealer jewelry, understand the stores reputation by checking with others that have made purchases including friends or relatives. Check out the store's reputation in your area. You want to find out if the jeweler is a member of any industry organizations and what requirements are necessary to be a member. Obtain as much information as you can about the store you are entertaining using 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.

A good indicator of a reliable site for getting that string of pearls, or bracelet or antique dealer jewelry, is the BBB seal of reliability. Document the details related to your purchase for future use, if necessary. Determine where they are geographically and call to speak with a person to confirm details or get clarification. In addition, be sure that you document all conversation and details of the transaction. Last thought - enjoy your beautiful antique dealer jewelry purchase.
