Don't 'pull the trigger' on purchasing armoire jewelry or watch or bracelet or any jewelry until you learn all you can about it so that you are a smart consumer. Shop all aspects related to your purchase: the price; the quality and the service you get after the purchase. c. Inquire about how you would get a refund or return the item if dissatisfied. b. Review any guarantees or warranties that come with the purchase. Obtain a written sales receipt and, in writing, any information you relied upon in your purchase.

We can't think of another purchase category beyond jewelry where the reputation and honesty of the seller is more important. Do all you can to investigate the business practices of the jeweler whether you are buying precious stones, gold, platinum or armoire jewelry. We suggest that you look into the store's standing in your town. 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 a report on the business from the Better Business Bureau. Dealing with knowledgeable staff is a must. See if they have a gemological background.

For online stores, look for their Better Business Bureau Reliability seal whether you are regardless whether you are buying a bracelet, a string of pearls, a watch or armoire jewelry. Get all the product details in writing (for example by email) including refund policy. Determine where they are geographically and call to speak with a person to confirm details or get clarification. Further to the telephone call, be sure that the purchase is well documented including all representations. Lastly, wear that jewelry or armoire jewelry often and enjoy it.
