We suggest that before you lay out your money for that auction box jewelry or other jewelry (e.g. watch, diamonds, pearls), you learn all you can about it so assure yourself that you are getting what you are paying to get. At search site or store, investigate their pricing, service and the quality of what they are offering. c. Inquire about how you would get a refund or return the item if dissatisfied. c. Ask about the seller's guarantee and/or warranty on the item being bought. Be sure to get, in writing, on the sales receipt, any information you relied on when making your purchase, such as the gem's weight or size. Some jewelers will supply a grading report from a gemological laboratory.

Investigate the 'store' from whom you are making a purchase. Whether it's a brooch, pendant, necklace or auction box jewelry, understand the stores reputation by checking with others that have made purchases including friends or relatives. Look into the 'buzz' about the company that you are contemplating making your purchase. Determine what professional trade groups your jeweler belongs and what the requirements are of membership. Obtain as much information as you can about the store you are entertaining using from the Better Business Bureau. Dealing with knowledgeable staff is a must. See if they have a gemological background.
