Jewelry is Shiny and Own Them for Cheap
Jewelry is very desirable but they are so expensive. That’s why this page is so valuable for those who are looking for a few tips in saving money on those bling.
Online auctions are all anonymous so it’s a great way to not be embarrassed about just finding out about prices. Once you know the range, you can find a way to get a discount.
The pawn shop is a great place to buy jewelry because they have too much inventory right now as no one is able to get them back without cash. If you have the dough, talk to them to get some jewelry on the cheap.
Ask around. Not many of your friends will know but one of two of them will probably be jewelry experts. They can tell you the cheapest place to buy, and the place that will give you the best service too.
Don’t forget about servicing the jewelry afterward. Even paying slightly more may be worth it if the store will service (clean, adjust, etc) for you lifetime for free.
Flea markets and yard sales are a great place to find good deals on jewelry but make sure you are buying genuine stone and not some composite material.
Go to fairs and jewelry conferences to get wholesale discounts without buying wholesale quantities. To top it off, the dealers are usually very honest about their product too.
Never go to any jewelry store based on an advertisement. Stores that have low margins rely on word of mouth and don’t need advertising. The ones that buys ads are always the ones that make you pay more for the same quality.
Don’t ever walk into a jewelry store inside a mall. The rent is so expensive and they always transfer the cost to the customers. Shopping channels on TV is the same thing. Stay away.
Gold can come in the form of composite as well as pure gold. They are all priced differently obviously so make sure you know what you are buying and comparing apples to apples before you pay.
