What are the mistakes people make when buying jewelry online

To choose the best jewelry, you should first understand the prices of different jewelry. Look at different options, study the prices in different stores, and compare the price and quality of each product.

It is worth paying attention to the metal from which the product is made. For example, gold jewelry is priced many times higher than silver. Designer items in a single copy are also quite expensive, as well as custom-made products. All this should be taken into consideration to understand the current prices for jewelry. 

SOME IDEAS FOR YOUR NEXT JEWELRY PIECE

2. Impulse buying

When looking for jewelry on the Internet, people make impulse purchases that they may regret later. First of all, it concerns beautiful products which do not suit a person's style at all. Therefore, it is always worth analyzing whether the product fits the clothes and other jewelry.

3. No quality control

Unfortunately, customers do not always check the quality of products. But this is a very important step before we buy. We advise you first to look at the description of the goods, the metal they are made of, the description of the stones, and all sorts of other data. If there are any questions, it is better to ask the seller for more information. It is also a good idea to look at the reviews of the items to get even more reassurance. 

4. No verification of the naturalness of minerals and metals

Nowadays, there is a large selection of both natural and synthetic stones. We sincerely like only natural minerals because they have a lot of power and energy, which is well felt. This is why we recommend buying jewelry with natural stones.

Unfortunately, it's not uncommon that instead of jewelry with natural stones, stores sell fake stones with no useful properties. This is why you should find out where the stones were mined and whether there is a certificate of authenticity. Or you should have absolute trust in the store.

5. Expecting an absolute resemblance of the jewelry to the photo

Sometimes people return products simply because they were not exactly as pictured. This applies to the minerals that are used for the items. For example, the picture in the store has a ring with fire opal in blue, and you get a ring with opal in orange and red colors. This may confuse you, but don’t get upset so quickly. You need to understand that all minerals are different. They are created by nature, and nature does not create the same objects. So stones come in different colors, and they can have unique inclusions. This is normal and shouldn’t be upsetting.

But what should one do if he or she wants the same stone as in the picture? It is a good idea to ask the seller if they have any similar stones. You can also ask for a video clip of the different stones so that you can choose the one that's best for you. 

6. Pursuing low cost

There is a simple truth to remember - quality jewelry cannot be cheap. You need to understand this and look for jewelry based on this rule. You should not buy low-priced items, because they can turn out to be low-quality pieces that will be completely short-lived.

7. Unspecified budget

One of the most common mistakes is that a person does not determine the budget that they want to spend on jewelry in advance. There is bound to be a very beautiful piece, albeit very expensive. Sometimes this makes you regret about the purchase. Therefore, it is better to think in advance about the amount you would like to spend. 

8. Buying from dubious stores

There are quite many jewelry stores on the Internet at various websites. There are really good stores that are well established and trusted by their customers. But some stores do not have reviews, quality photos, and detailed product descriptions. And this is very important for the customers. Do not buy products in such stores, because the product may be very different from what is shown in the picture.

9. Blind sizing

This is a fairly common mistake customers make. If you don't know your finger size, it is better to take the necessary measurements before buying to be sure. If you are in a hurry to buy a ring at a discount, ask the seller if you can order but tell them your ring size once you have measured it.

You should never order items without checking the size. After all, it will ruin the buying experience. 

10. Indiscriminateness in materials and minerals

Some people buy jewelry with minerals that require special care. For example, pearls, opals, or any stones with hardness less than 6. Before buying such items, you should carefully study the physical properties of these stones and understand how you can keep them in the best condition for as long as possible.

It is also important to know the characteristics of the metals that are used to make the pieces. For example, silver with nickel sometimes causes allergic reactions on the skin, so if you have ever had such manifestations, it is worth asking the seller about the composition of the metal. With gold, too, not everything is simple; for example, there are different kinds of gold - 12k, 14k, 18k, 24k, and others. Each kind has peculiarities, namely the percentage of pure gold content. Don't be in a hurry to choose the highest percentage, because gold is a soft metal. We recommend that you carefully study such nuances before buying.
