In the
advent of technology, you can purchase whatever it is that you need online. The
same thing goes for jewellery. There are plenty of jewellers who took their
collection online instead of just having a pop up store somewhere. If you are
planning to purchase jewellery online, you really have to look into various
factors. In this article, we share to you some do's and don'ts in purchasing
jewellery online.
Buying Dos
Check
the images and videos of the jewellery. If the images or videos of the
jeweller's products look like stock photos, that should already be a red flag
to you. If the site lacks images or videos, contact them to ask if you can
obtain pictures or videos. A trustworthy jeweller just like Certified
Diamond Network will not hesitate to
help you.
Check
the reputation of the jeweller. Do not just purchase from the first online
jeweller you see. Check their reputation first and ensure that they get
positive feedback from their clients.
Compare
prices. Do not just stick to one online jeweller. Visit various jewellers and
see what they can offer. Compare prices until you find the best deals.
Buying Don’ts
Don't
easily believe deals that are too good to be true. This is why it's important
to compare prices from different jewellers first. Once you have an idea on the
average price, you will know if a jeweller is selling a similar piece in a
higher or much lower price.
Don't
spend all your money on the stone if you're going on a custom-made route. Take
note that you will not only pay for the stone, you will also pay for the design
and all other fees. If you will purchase a ready made jewellery, you will also
need to set aside money for insurance.
Take
note of all those tips when purchasing online and ensure that you’ll get the
most out of your budget.
