Inspired Beader: Caprilicious Jewelry

No matter what our favorite materials might be, the most rewarding thing about jewelry design is creating wearable works of art. Today’s guest is Neena of Caprilicious Jewellery, whose designs showcase a wide range of style and talent, while incorporating some of the world’s most beautiful beading materials.

Inspirational Beading: When did you first get started with jewelry design?

Neena: I have always loved jewellery – a couple of years ago, a friend of mine made me a bracelet out of wire having been to a class at the weekend – I wanted to know more and we spent the evening talking about it. As far as I knew, I was not a particularly creative person – my sister was the one in our family credited with that reputation. The fact that my friend could make such a bracelet in a matter of hours, and at her first lesson, was encouraging and I decided to try my hand at it.

I went to a semi professional jewellery school and got so involved in the whole idea of making my own jewellery, I went back over and over again for classes in different techniques and fell in love. Looking for distraction therapy after a family bereavement, I decided to write my own website capriliciousjewellery.com on a free web hosting service, and set up an Etsy outlet and Facebook page - and I was up and away! I had a steep learning curve – I knew nothing about photography, was a newbie at information technology, and I had all these new jewellery making techniques I had to master – all on a shoestring budget.

Inspirational Beading: Do you remember your first piece? Where is it today?

Neena: My first piece was called Dew Fairy Dreams – it was a mixed media piece – I made faux jade gingko leaves out of polymer clay from a book by Tory Hughes.They were meant to be pendants, and each one should have been strung onto a chain singly- but I wasn’t happy with that look. I wired them onto a collar, filling the rest of the space with a cobwebby wire lace, and tiny creamy pearls – a couple of pearls were wired over the ‘leaves’ like dew drops - and that is how the necklace got its name.

I used four pendants on the collar and one more, attached to the extender chain at the back of the necklace – I was so pleased with that piece – it seemed to tell me that I should carry on, that I did have creativity deep within me, albeit well hidden for so many years! It was almost a wrench to part with it - it was snapped up almost straight away and now lives in Manchester with a customer who has come back for more quite a few times since then. Tommy Garrison wrote this poem, and I reproduced it on my blog with his kind permission: Dew Fairy Dreams.

Inspirational Beading: Where do you look for inspiration?

Neena: Inspiration is all around me – a photograph, a painting, a leaf, colours in the evening sky – all sorts of things are stored away in my little brain, and come out to play unexpectedly. I love mythology, fairy tales, and I enjoy weaving a little tale around each piece I make for my blog. It tickles me when my customers remember the names of the pieces I make – they ask for ‘Isis’ – which is so much better that ‘that yellow and black necklace – you know the one – with a large pendant’ – which could mean anything. The true romantics amongst my customers like the fact that each piece has a concept and a story line behind it. My blog is where I explain my thought process to anyone who is interested, and to my surprise, I find that I love to write and a lot of people actually read what I put down – people are always telling me how much they enjoy my ramblings.

Inspirational Beading: What’s the most interesting or unique thing about your design process?

Neena: I love colour, asymmetry, and contemporary design. I like to think I weave an intricate and elaborate tale into my designs, and have enjoyed writing my blog to verbalise this – I write my blog as I go along the working week – it helps to crystallize my thoughts and brings the designs alive in my mind. Pieces of music, stories from Greek Mythology – the sources of my inspiration are written down – and the piece of jewellery seems to grow from there. I cannot seem to create in dull colours – this has been tested by friends who have given me gemstone beads to work with in browns and greys, for instance – I immediately add a contrasting bright colour that lifts the entire piece to another level.

Inspirational Beading: Do you have a favorite color to work with?

Neena: Turquoise, cobalt, red – pillar box red, emerald, and more recently an acid Wasabi green, oranges and citrus yellow – this is the Caprilicious colour palate – add black and white, and most of my jewellery is in these colours.

Inspirational Beading: What are some of your favorite beads and materials?

Neena: I design a lot in copper – this used to be because of it’s affordability, and malleability as a wire – but now I find I love the rustic, warm look copper gives you in a piece of jewellery. Silver wire, polymer clay, and precious metal clay – they are all fun to play with – my favourite material tends to depend on the day of the week! For instance, Mondays, and Tuesdays are exhausting at the day job, so if I do pick something up, it will usually be a necklace that I string together, with elements I have already decided on. Wednesdays and Thursdays, I usually play with wire – it is on the weekends that I get time to make elements with polymer clay and precious metal clay.

Polymer clay is exciting – the design options are endless, and the ability to mould colour thrills me to bits. I am in love with labradorite and blue agate, and the raw beauty of geodes and the druzy forms of gemstones appeals to me. Recently, I have discovered Solar Quartz, which is a cross section of a stalactite, and is usually a pale cream, but dyed in gorgeous colours – just yummy!

Inspirational Beading: What is the most exciting design in your shop right now?

Neena: I have a piece called ‘The Sorcerer's Apprentice’. I bought the pendant on Etsy – it is obviously from the Middle East. I made all the main black and white beads myself, and added red Czech glass and a few shells for interest – I think it is a very striking piece, and I just love the simple theatricality of it. I must have been a theatrical personality in a previous life, and most definitely a foodie. I often describe jewellery and gemstones as ‘edible’, ‘yummy’, ‘scrumptious’ and ‘delicious’– a greedy person's terminology.

Inspirational Beading: Who do you hope to inspire with your work?

Neena: I came to jewellery making late – in my late forties – I had no idea that I had a single creative bone in my body, and can sometimes hardly believe that the jewellery on my website is made by me. I am innately shy, and my jewellery is my alter ego – it speaks for me and embodies my inner voice. There must be a lot of people out there who do not believe in their creative talent, and may pick up on my story – I hope they are inspired to try their hand at a creative pursuit – who knows what magic might flow from them?

How to Choose the Perfect Ring

Choosing a ring

When it comes to choosing our own jewelry we can be very picky as well as we can be very impulsive buyers. I would like to give you some advice about choosing your rings. When I help out my customers in person I get to really direct them into jewelry that fits for them individually. What I mean by that, is that many people only look at the jewelry without taking in consideration their hands, fingers & comfort. When choosing a ring of course we want the ring to look good but will it look good on our specific type of hands? It's just like clothing, it may look great on the models but maybe not so much on you. Look at your hands, are they wide or narrow, are your fingers short, long, thin...

If you have big hands you must get a solid ring because chances are your hands are strong & you use them accordingly & you don't want the band to brake. Also don't choose something too tiny it will look out of proportions. Wide bands can fit you but not too wide, go for about half an inch wide. You are one of the lucky people who can wear very large stones
so don't miss out on that!

If you have small thin hands you probably already know that rings which are too massive & heavy aren't meant for you. Go for filigree or Celtic designs they will be much more comfortable & will suit you best. Wide bands can suit you as long as they are not too wide & keeps you from closing your hands completely so if you buy online & don't get to actually try it on before buying verify the width.

Wide bands are very hot right now, but they aren't meant for everyone. Long slim fingers suit them best. Actually most rings will suit you best but not too narrow, stick with about a quarter inch and more width in the front.

Short chubby fingers sorry for you but you should avoid wide bands, you wont be comfortable & it will end up in a jewelry box. If you have short fingers choose a thinner band with the front part small to medium size. If you really want to go with a wide band well choose one that tapers down in the back to about a quarter of an inch or less. Try a colorful stone that will catch the eye or maybe a cameo ring.

I hope this advice will help you find rings that better suit you & that it will have you purchase the right ones. After all when we love a ring, that it looks great on your hand & it is comfortable it often ends up being a real treasure.

Bridal Jewelry Sets

Free Website Content » Shopping » Jewelry Articles

Finding bridal jewelry to complete your look for the big day can sometimes be a difficult task. You may find that in your searching you see a pair of earrings you like and a necklace, but there is no bracelet. Likewise, you may also find your bridal earrings and bridal necklace but together, the two pieces of jewelry do not match well. This is where the suggestion of pulling your jewelry accessory look together by purchasing an entire bridal jewelry set from one merchant.

When purchasing your entire bridal jewelry set from one merchant or bridal jewelry designer, you will have a more consistent and complete look. Your bridal jewelry will match together because it was designed to be together. What makes bridal jewelry sets even more special is after your big day, many times just wearing your bridal earrings or bridal necklace out for a nice dinner or dancing can bring back all of the special moments and memories that you made on the most important day of your life.

In addition, you will save time and energy by purchasing a bridal jewelry set all at once. There will be no more hunting for the perfect pair of bridal earrings that will match the bridal necklace or bridal bracelet that you have already purchased. Yet another "bonus" to purchasing one bridal jewelry set is you will pay one shipping fee versus paying two to three different shipping fees by ordering your bridal jewelry pieces from various bridal websites and bridal jewelers. Many times you will find that by purchasing your bridal jewelry in a set, you will receive a discounted rate.

To conclude, when purchasing your bridal jewelry sets, keep in mind the overall look and feel you want to have for your special day, this will be reflected in what you wear, as you are the bride and the center of attention for the day. By purchasing a bridal jewelry set, your look will be congruent and gorgeously pieced together. Sit back and take in your day and all of the wonderful compliments it will bring.

Night Sky Collar

I’ve recently been researching traditional netting techniques, like those seen in African and Native American beadwork. Although there are plenty of examples of finished pieces, instructions and tutorials are difficult to come by. After studying a few designs, I decided to experiment a little with the techniques in a new collar variation.

My inspiration was the Egyptian sky goddess Nut, whose blue body is seen covered with stars. With Egyptian tomb paintings in blue and gold in mind, I combined some cobalt white hearts with Autumn Tucson gold and got to work.

I wanted to make sure that my finished collar would have a good curve, so I modified the stitch a little. Most of the nets are three beads long, with the exception of the outer row. Even though there are a lot more beads and stitches in this piece, it still worked up very quickly.

Once the base netting was complete, I had to find the right proportions of beads to fill in the inner row. Rather than make the top row of netting smaller to create a curve, the tops of the beadwork are elongated, with a single bead atop each stitch to be cinched together. I tried several different patterns with the white hearts, but the size difference between the two bead types seemed to pose a problem. I finally settled on using two Japanese seed beads between each shaft, and the curve came out just right.

Learn More About The Warranty of Fossil Watches

What would you do when the watch you just bought fails to work? Would you throw it away? You would certainly think about returning it to the store where you bought it. It should come to your awareness that these stores are sometimes not responsible for your carelessness or rather the faults of the timepieces. Shopping for a luxury timepiece should be done carefully to ensure that you get the best watch that will have warranty cover. That is the prime reason why you need to go for Fossil watches. Why do we say that? These timepieces have warranty. This means that in case of any faults that can be attributed to the manufacturer's mistakes you can easily return them and get replacements.

Wait! Before you think about returning the watch that you just bought from the store, you should take some time to think about the faults that the watch has. This will save you time and money in case the problem was as a result of your own mistake. If the watch's screen cracked as you were taking it home, you should not return it since this is not covered under the warranty that the Fossil watches provide. Also, if water entered into the watch and it failed to work, then this will also mean that warranty will not cover you. It is very important to know the areas that the warranty cover will protect you. This ensures that you try to maintain your watch in the best way and avoid any mistakes.

Manufacturer's defects will be taken care of under the warranty cover. This implies that if your watch does not keep time as required then this could be due to improper setting. Chances are that your watch is too fast or too slow hence the best way to deal with such a situation is to return it to the store where you bought it from. Keep in mind that you would not be charged anything for these types of repairs. However, the only cost that you would have to incur is the shipping charge. Thus, depending on your area of residence, the amount to pay would differ. The idea of fixing any manufacturer's defects is something that makes Fossil watches stand out as the best timepieces.

How can you avoid taking your watch for repair? It is very important that you take a good care of your watch. This applies to those individuals that shop for expensive luxury watches. Keep in mind that once your wristwatch is repaired by other parties, this will void the entire warranty that your watch had. It is therefore vital that you take care of your watch and avoid taking it to the regular watch repairers that are not qualified. Take tips on how to take care of your timepiece. For instance, if your wristwatch is not water resistant, you should always take it off when you let's say, go swimming. Make sure that you follow the guides to avoid voiding the warranty coverage that would protect your precious timepiece.

Bead Shops: Lori Lochner Lampwork

Today our guest is Lori Lochner - a lampwork artist with a flair for gorgeous color combinations and abstract designs. Her elaborate focal pieces like feathers, birds, and decorative glass shells are wonderful to behold.

Inspirational Beading: How did you first get started with lampwork?

Lori: I bought my first beadmaking kit in 1995. It was a "hot-head" type torch and some crude glass in a little zip lock bag. What a horrible experience. I managed to make some lumpy beads and put the kit away. In 1996 I decided to take the plunge and buy a complete set up and start right. I bought a minor torch, a large selection of glass and tools. At the time I was seriously into glass fusing and was a silversmith.

Inspirational Beading: Do you remember your first bead? Where is it today?

Lori: Yes, it was a lumpy black and white dot bead. I believe it threw it in my flower garden.

Inspirational Beading: Where do you look for inspiration?

Lori: I'm inspired by nature and organic forms. I adore flowers, pods, and sea creatures. I strive to mimic the subtle colorations and symmetry of the natural world. Pinterest also provides some wonderful eye candy when I'm seeking inspiration. My feed is heavy in the jewelry, textile and tribal crafts genre. Intricate patterning of tribal basketry, beadwork, jewelry and textiles in infinitely fascinating!

Inspirational Beading: What is your favorite color or combination to work with?

Lori: Tough to nail down a favorite combination... I like to mix cool and warm colorations in my work to provide designers with flexibility when creating. A subtle addition of metallic and sparkle lends depth to a piece as well. Also matte and shiny. My work seems to be purple heavy.

Inspirational Beading: Do you have a favorite bead style or shape to create?

Lori: I really enjoy "off mandrel" work. In soft glass and especially in borosilicate glass. Hollow forms are fascinating in that they allow another dimension of "light-play" from within the form. When working with larger forms hollow work lends itself to better wearability.

Inspirational Beading: What is the most interesting thing about your design process?

Lori: I'm never without a sketch book. I have a little one in my purse and a simple composition notebook in the studio. Every morning I jot down the days production schedule and make drawings and notes of things I would like to accomplish at the torch. I also jot down music, books, ideas and inspirations while I'm working. Being an full time artist/craftsperson is such a solitary experience. I subscribe to many podcasts that keep me entertained while working.

Inspirational Beading: What is the most exciting design in your shop right now? What makes it special?

Lori: Right now I'm working on some functional pieces. Goblets and bowls mainly, although I haven't listed them in my web store. In my Etsy shop I think my sea-forms
are a favorite. Each one is special and unique. When using borosilicate glass there is so much serendipity in the way the colors strike in the kiln.

Inspirational Beading: Do you have any plans for new bead styles or themes in the works?

Lori: Recently I have been creating some feathers and they seem to be well received. When my production work is done for the day I follow my muse and create something unique usually from an idea that has been floating nebulously in my mind.

Lori also carries a fantastic selection of designer Czech glass in her Etsy shop. You can get updates on her latest creations on Facebook.

Cleaning Your Sterling Silver Bracelets

Buying designer jewelry is an investment. Designer jewelry costs significantly more than fashion jewelry, but that is because designer jewelry uses precious stones and metals that vastly separate it from the less expensive fashion jewelry. You'll find diamonds, colored gemstones, gold, and silver in designer jewelry. Naturally, we want to do the best we can to protect our investments. That is why we make sure to be careful when we store designer jewelry, and we are even careful when we wear it. Designer jewelry care includes more than storing the jewelry, you have to monitor and clean it to keep it beautiful and strong enough to last as an heirloom. There are a lot of do-it-yourself options for cleaning designer jewelry, but not all cleaning solutions can be applied to every metal. Sterling silver bracelets, for example, require a little extra care to keep it shining brilliantly.

Sterling silver bracelets are harder than gold, but they still scratch and bend easily. Jewelryas thin as sterling silver bracelets are especially susceptible to bending when you wear them on a daily basis. This delicate metal suffers due to air exposure alone. Without proper care, sterling silver bracelets can tarnish just by wearing them and exposing them to the air. Fortunately, the cleaning process is not very difficult for sterling silver bracelets. You can even clean them in your own home. Of course, if you are not a do it yourself sort of person, you can always opt to bring them to a local jeweler to have them professionally cleaned.

Surprisingly, you can clean sterling silver bracelets with toothpaste. That's right, toothpaste. Simply apply basic white toothpaste to yourjewelry. Be sure you are using plain white toothpaste and not some sort of colored gel based paste. After application, rinse the paste off of the bracelets with warm running water before drying it with a soft cloth. From there, merely buff the metal with a soft clean towel and notice the resurrected shine.

Another great way to clean sterling silver bracelets is with baking soda. Take a small bowl and mix equal parts baking soda and water until you develop a paste-like substance. Cover your sterling silver designerjewelry in the newly formed paste by using a soft clean cloth. Again, clean off the paste using warm running water and the dry/buff with a new clean towel. Your sterling silver will shine again in no time!

Work in Progress: Leftover Rings

This week I finally got around to setting up a little filing system for my growing collection of herringbone rings. I simply labeled some of my bead cups with sizes 7-10 and made room for them in the bottom of my beading tray. But when I sorted all of the rings I had made into the cups, the quantity looked painfully small. I need to step things up a little if I‘m going to have enough inventory for the holidays.

Since I was between two projects and not ready to start the new one, I pulled out all of my seed bead boxes and druks, and started setting aside colors for future rings. I chose a handful of pinks, purples and oranges from the druks - colors I’m not likely to need desperately for upcoming projects. Then I gathered up some assorted seed beads with low quantities that I’ll probably never replenish - experimental colors and those that just don’t suit my work anymore. Combined in the right ways, they’ll all make some fantastic rings.

I’ve got two down and one more on the go, then I’ll have to get back to regular designs again. I’ll be keeping this supply of leftover beads handy to work on a ring or two whenever I get the chance.

What are you working on this week?

Why One Should Opt For Online Fine Jewelry Stores

Advantage of online stores :

With the recent increase in exposure to the internet, we have seen a huge rise in the number of online diamond and fine jewelry stores. They are more preferable than the local or traditional stores since they offer a great deal of wide selection of quality jewelry. They also have exquisite and first class items to choose from whose prices cannot be compared with the traditional stores. Amazingly, most have free shipping offers and yet the product is delivered right at your door with maximum assurance of money back in case it is not delivered. Thus buying jewelry online is a greater way to get top class quality while paying reduced prices with minimum tax. These online stores are setting records and offering huge offers daily which are attracting most of the jewelry fanatics to buy from them. They are armed with secure websites, quality diamonds, and delivery guarantee and of course high ratings from previous users. This is making most of the people to invest in these online stores spending their money in choosing their goods for both retail and wholesale. However all that glitters is not gold. Most of them are legitimate, but we can't lack one or two which are out there to launder money from innocent buyers. Some will sell genuine jewels while others will sell fake products; so be on the watch out. When selecting an online fine jewel store, consider the following.

The selection :

Always consider the selection or generally the quantity on display, that is the items on sale. Some stores offer a wide variety of goods while others will offer just a limited amount. It is good to have a wide range of items to choose from so that you can have proper selection of the jewelry which will properly suit you. If you choose a store with few goods, you might find that most of them are low quality since most people have passed through there and reselected the items again and again leaving only those which cannot be termed as fit for them.

Price :

Similarly, always look at the store with the best price offer. Even with online stores, some will tend to be more expensive than others so it is advisable to go for the one that will be considerate with your pocket. This will enable you save, or you can purchase an extra jewel too.

Customer service :

Other than that you will want a jewelry store that has understanding and efficient customer service. In most cases, you can mistake and purchase a jewel you were not interested in; a good customer serviced store will give you a chance to exchange the item without any harassment. Similarly you want a customer service you can easily relate to and easily go back for assistance.

Other peoples view :

Finally, look for one that has good rating and is dependable. Review what other people say about that store before deciding to buy from it. Does it deliver in time? Does it deliver the actual quality good you chose? Does it have a trusted past? Ask yourself these entire questions before risking your money with the store. This will help you avoid being conned or sold for a fake item which you preferably never chose. At the same time it enables you to know the perceptions of the people towards the store.

Rings of Love

It was a warm and sunny spring afternoon. The air was crisp, and traces of jasmine and my mother's perfume hung in the air. She was getting ready to leave for the church. Other family members were bustling about. A wave of excitement and commotion was rolling around our house. Yet, there sat my beautiful and regal mother. She was calm. She was clutching a simple, gold ring to her chest. She was smiling. I reflect on that day often. Even on my own wedding day I pondered back on that moment. A moment when she was about to start again and create a whole new life with a man she adored and loved. A man she never expected to walk into our world. Yet there she was, about to walk to him and promise him all her days.

There was no big event for her second marriage. After all, this was post war and we just didn't do things like we used to. Before, the whole of the Southern town we grew up in had come to my mother and father's wedding parade. The streets were lined with loving supporters and the wedding pews were filled to capacity. You see, my father was the son of the mayor. My mother was the daughter of the local clergyman. In the South, this was a big event the preacher's daughter marrying the next mayor, or even senator.

I recall most fondly the story of how they chose their wedding rings. Most ladies went down to the local jeweler and had they order something from the catalog. The bigger cities always had more of a selection. Aside from being at church every Sunday and paying her taxes, my mother never did quite like doing what was expected or traditional. So, when it came to her wedding band she had other plans in mind.

You see, my mother's father came from a long line of welders and miners. In fact, there is a long history of my family being outcasts and poor common folk. Most of the town disregarded and mistreated my family for generations. Right before the first big war was when the mine finally hit. All manner of metal and pressure rock came spewing forth. Most went to manufacture and build machinery for the army.

The generations to follow for our family were met with very different circumstances. While most families suffered and perished during the first war and Great Depression, ours actually prospered and grew. All because of the hardworking men who broke their backs and slaved away in the dark to finally find the light at the end of that long tunnel.

So, the gold that forged my mother and fathers wedding rings came from that very mine. The mine my father family later came to buy from mother's great grandfather. This set in motion for their future paths to cross, and cross they did. A beautiful baby girl came from their short union. The second great war was not so kind to us. Yet, my mother was able to find another gem amongst the rubble. The day she walked to my step-dad she gave me the cherished gold band my father had made with her, and I held it on my own wedding day. Someday soon, I will give it to my baby girl.

It doesn't look awkward at all when wearing the same watch again and again as the time has gone when there was a fashion to take care of watches along with dresses to make a proper matching for different occasions.

Ladies watches, these days, have changed with the change of women's tastes. They need not be changed every time a woman goes out of the home. Vendors or different brands are focusing very much on the quality and service of watches along with added features through innovation.

The competition in ladies watches has been very much intensified among different brands.

August Bead Stash Favorites

Summer is just about at an end, and it’s time to look ahead to fall projects and even holiday designs. With only a few months left in the year, it’s also a good time to check up on goals and to-do lists. This think-ahead mindset is apparent in my favorite beads this month.

First up are these gorgeous red Rulla seed beads from Fusion Beads. I’ve been looking forward to trying new things, and perhaps coming up with some new project tutorials for Inspirational Beading, and these two-hole beads are the perfect thing to get ideas rolling. I love the rounded shape, which seems much more ‘beady’ than Tilas. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make when I decided to try them out, so I went with a color that I could easily work into my designs. I think they're calling out for some cobalt white hearts!

These simple wooden macramé beads don’t exactly make me swoon with magpie delight, but I’m still really excited about them. I’ve got all kinds of new designs planned for fall that include bead covered beads, and perhaps even some hand painted goodies. I've already got a few pieces underway, including the trio of beaded beads that were glimpsed on a recent bead tray update. The technique is such a fun quick-fix that I've grown quite attached to it.

Finally, we have some amazing, stunning, delicious Czech daggers from Aunties Beads. I love the intense blue color, and they feel amazing on the strand. I hope these will come in handy either during this year’s Egyptian Gods challenge, or in the 2014 challenge, which is just around the corner. I still have to cut into some of my other drops and daggers, yes, but you can never have too many options for accent beads.

What beads are you focused on this month?

Jewelry Boxes from gold plated metal rings

These boxes are really very easy to make. I rolled white fimo into two rings and baked them.  I glued two exra rings to one fimo framed ring. This formed the body of the box.  To the cover, the other fimo framed ring, I glued a piece of jewelry finding and to the inside of the cover I glued a little white card circle to help keep it in place.

I used the same method on the heart shaped boxes.

Buying Jewelry Online: How To Choose The Right Company

For anyone looking to purchase fine jewelry, online shopping can be a great way to find the right piece at the right price. There can be many advantages to buying fine jewelry online - with savings being one of the major factors. Reputable online jewelers usually have much lower overhead costs, and can pass those savings on to the consumer. Another advantage of buying fine jewelry online is convenience - you need travel no further than your computer to choose your jewelry and make your purchase. This being said, there are things you need to consider in order to make your fine jewelry purchase a positive experience.

Choose a Jeweler You Trust
The first thing you need to do is find an online jewelry store that you can trust. You will have to do a little bit of detective work in order to eliminate the less desirable companies and end up with a list of jewelers that you feel confident doing business with.

Find out if the website is secure. The jeweler's website should have 128bit SSL security. This is an absolute must when you are purchasing online, since you will most likely be using a credit card or supplying your bank account information. Somewhere along the line you will be supplying information about yourself, and the 128bit SSL security will ensure that no unauthorized party can get access to your information.

Also, any diamond you buy, whether it is online or from a store, should come with a diamond certificate. The Gemological Institute of America independently certifies diamonds providing information on a diamond's characteristics such as color, clarity and size. This is your best way of knowing the quality of the diamond you are buying.

The Online Jewelry Store Should Provide Excellent Customer Service
This cannot be stressed strongly enough. Before you make a fine jewelry purchase from a website consider contacting the jeweler's customer service department by email and by phone. When talking to a customer service representative, ask questions and pay close attention to the responses you receive. If the rep seems irritated with your questions or is spending the entire phone call trying to rush you into buying a product, consider that a "red flag".

If you contact them by email, check to see how quickly they reply. It should take them no longer than 48 hours during the business week - within 24 hours is the ideal. Look for professionalism and a helpful attitude in their emails.

The Website Should Be Informative
The jeweler's website itself should have information on how to buy a quality diamond, the different types of precious metals, etc. They should have a wide variety of choices, and be able to help you find what is right for you. By providing you with information the company is helping you make an educated purchase.

Look for Quality Craftsmanship
What the Internet can offer you is the chance to shop several stores without having to drive all over town; this allows you to choose a company whose fine jewelry shows attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The Return Policy Can Be Important
What if you receive the jewelry and are dissatisfied? Review the company's return policy before you buy so you know what rights you have if you want to return your fine jewelry purchase.

See If They Offer Extra Perks
Things like free shipping add up to big savings. If the online jeweler is located outside of the state you are buying from you pay no sales tax. Free shipping combined with no sales tax can make a big difference in your bottom line. Some companies offer a discount on your next purchase. This can also save you big money. If a company is offering these or other incentives, they will likely have this information throughout the site and in their shopping cart.

Your Jewelry Purchase Should Provide Good Value for the Money
When buying fine jewelry, you are getting a piece that will last a lifetime and become a family heirloom. Look for fine jewelry that offers the best value which is not only determined by how much the jewelry costs but by the quality of the piece and the materials used.

Online jewelry shopping offers convenience, selection and value. Consider the factors above when making your next fine jewelry purchase so you find the online jeweler that is right for you.
