  1. All That Glitters is not Gold! Online Jewelry Buying Tips

  2. Summary You should be extremely careful when buying jewelry online. You may get a cheap or broken piece of something you wouldn't call gold. While buying jewelry online is convenient, the process is not free from several concerns regarding safety, quality and value for money. Unlike physical stores where you can touch and feel the products, online shopping is based on the pictures, product description and user reviews. We have listed some important tips to keep in mind while shopping online jewelry.

  3. Know The Purity Of Gold • If you are buying gold and silver jewelry, you must check the reference for their purity. • For example, karat is a unit to measure the purity of gold. 1 karat or 1k means 1 part of gold and 23 parts of other metal alloys. Therefore, 24 karats means 100% pure gold, 18k gold means 75% gold. However, 24 karats gold is too delicate for jewelry making. Therefore, you are likely to find 18k gold jewelry easily than 24k.

  4. Know the Purity of Silver • There are 2 levels of silver purity. Fine silver is 99.9 pure silver and often referred as “999 Fine Silver” or “.999 Fine Silver.” • Second one is sterling silver which contains 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent of other metal alloys (generally copper). It is also known as “925 Sterling Silver” or “.925 Sterling Silver.” • Like 24 carat gold, pure silver (fine silver) is too soft for jewelry making, so you can easily find sterling silver jewelries. Make sure there is a “925” stamp on your silver jewelry.

  5. Check if Diamonds are Genuine • Check whether diamonds are certified by leading labs like GIA and AGS. Make sure to check the complete specification of the jewelry.

  6. Is Your Vendor Reputed & Trusted? • While shopping from online store, make sure to check everything related to quality and authenticity of a vendor before placing an order. • You can check user’s feedback to figure out the quality of the product. Also check the seller’s reputation and go through return and privacy policy. • Ask if they can provide you a picture of the signature and metal purity stamp.

  7. Check Customer’s Feedback • Going through user's reviews about the product gives you a hint about the quality of the product. • It will help you make purchase decision. Apart from vendor’s website, you can read the user's feedbacks on third party reviewing websites.

  8. Will it Fit You? • Many stores don’t offer to refund the jewelry piece if it doesn’t fit or diamond size is not of your expectation. • So, make sure to ask about this and take required precautions. Or it is better if you visit your nearest jewelry store in Nashville to try something similar to what you want to order online. In this way, you get an idea of price, size, and other features of that piece. It is clear that you should check quality, fit, and refund and return policy before purchasing jewelry online. It will minimize the hassles of getting not the right piece.
