Be sure you understand and can live with the store (or websites) exchange and return policies. f. Don't buy without getting a warranty or guarantee with the item being purchased. Obtain a written sales receipt and, in writing, any information you relied upon in your purchase.

Investigate the 'store' from whom you are making a purchase. Whether it's a brooch, pendant, necklace or diamond cut record, understand the stores reputation by checking with others that have made purchases including friends or relatives. A store's 'standing' in your community is an important factor to consider prior to making a purchase. Professional trade organizations set 'standards'. Determine if your jeweler is a member of any such organizations. Obtain a report on the business from the Better Business Bureau. Look for a jeweler with a gemological and appraisal education and certificate.

A good indicator of a reliable site for getting that string of pearls, or bracelet or diamond cut record, is the BBB seal of reliability. Always get the particulars related to your purchase documented in case there is a dispute. If you are shopping online, get the websites location and talk with someone to clarify all aspects of the purchase. In addition, be sure that you document all conversation and details of the transaction. As a closing comment, the recipient of your jewelry or diamond cut record is one lucky person!
