A  Buyers¿ Guide to Sparkling Objects

Online shopping is convenient, quick, and fun. Buying gemstones online, while not exactly rocket science, requires some homework, since a mistake can bruise your pocket considerably. Have a look at our guide to buying  gemstones online:

Finding a Reliable Gemstone Dealer

Well-known online gem dealers value their brand equity and will offer detailed website information on their gemstone grading methods. Another mark of authenticity is to check if the online dealer belongs to reputed trade associations. Look for websites linked to offline jewellery stores. If your gemstone needs cleaning or any other services in future, this will come in handy. Check if the seller mentions a window period, say 30 days, in which you have the option to return your gemstone, a possibility that¿s entirely likely since it¿s hard to be precise about the exact size and look of a gemstone from a photograph on your computer screen.

Getting Started

Before buying gemstones online, ask a question to see if they respond personally and quickly to your query.
