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. Always get everything you relied upon related to the purchase in writing (e.g. sales receipt; gemological report; purchase details).

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 auction jewelry line. A store's 'standing' in your community is an important factor to consider prior to making a purchase. If the jewelry store is a member of any trade organizations, determine what they are and investigate the requirements to belong. The BBB is an excellent source of investigation on a business. Determine if the store's sale people have any gemological and appraisal education.

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 auction jewelry line. Get all the product details in writing (for example by email) including refund policy. Call the online store and get confirmation as to the particulars of the purchase. In addition, be sure that you document all conversation and details of the transaction. Last thought - enjoy your beautiful auction jewelry line purchase.
