All women wants jewelry but they are just so expensive. The good news? It's definitely possible. You will be interested in how to save money on jewelry I'm sure, so this following article should be of help.
Have a price in mind and just bid on online auctions, the prices are lower to begin with anyway and you will never need to overspend.
Don't forget about pawn shops. These shops generally ask for the value of the material in the product without a stiff markup. Remember that generally the markup on jewelry can be as high as 500 percent.
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.
Most people look at the upfront price but consider the servicing costs. Some stores will give you lifetime cleaning services for free which can add up.
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.
What is purported to be gold can be brass or gold plated or filled. What is listed as sterling silver on a store sign may not be sterling at all. Make sure a piece is marked correctly before making a purchase or if you don't know, find a reputable dealer.
