The are many ways of shopping for jewelry, walking around is the traditional way and it is still very enjoyable to do, see a shop look in the window maybe go inside and see what is on offer. Asking friends about something they are wearing which you admire is also quite a popular way of finding places to explore.

Here we try to give some new and other ideas, some stimulations to make you find what your heart is searching for and that you never knew existed, different types and styles, and find new paths to explore.

The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex.

It probably does not need saying but we will say it anyway, when buying jewelry, be a little wise, different countries have different laws governing standards for precious metals and stones, some require them to be officially hallmarked if over a certain weight, others it’s an option. It is best to stay away from too good to be true prices and people that need a little cash and selling a family air loom. Someone with a reputation and a shop is a much safer option, they are not going to risk all and damage their reputation, but go with your instincts, if it feels wrong the is no obligation, go somewhere else.

Communication is important, if your buying a ring it is better if it fits, if your buying a necklace it’s good if it is the right length, so its good to ask if the any questions or concerns, also a jeweler has experience and are a source of information and wisdom.

Commitment

At one point you have to make a commitment, only you can decide when this is, but don’t take too long or it may be sold out, and if it has to be made, then it will take sometime, so order in time, if it is to be made ask if it will be possible for the date you need it by, if it’s for a special occasion don’t wait till the last moment, special things need planing of course if it is just for you and you find something you like you can always buy what you want, when you want, happy foraging.
