Don't buy without getting a warranty or guarantee with the item being purchased. 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 diamond head top, understand the stores reputation by checking with others that have made purchases including friends or relatives. Be sure the store has a long-standing, solid reputation in the community. You want to find out if the jeweler is a member of any industry organizations and what requirements are necessary to be a member. The Better Business Bureau in your area is a resource you should use when evaluating a prospective jeweler. Look for a jeweler with a gemological and appraisal education and certificate.

The BBB Reliability seal is a good indicator of the online store's compliance with good business practices and a seal you should look for when buying diamonds, watches, pearls or diamond head top. Always get the particulars related to your purchase documented in case there is a dispute. Pick up the phone and speak with a representative of the web based site to reconfirm purchase details. Further to the telephone call, be sure that the purchase is well documented including all representations. Closing remark - your recipient of diamond head top is one lucky person!
