Another busy week - another cautionary tale. This week a client came in with a pair a large ‘diamond’ stud earrings they purchased through a well know online platform. They came in to confirm their purchase and we identified the stones as simulated, not natural or even lab grown diamonds.

There’s nothing wrong with having a good look a like, most diamond simulates are very pretty! But being sold one thing and delivering another is a major problem with online shopping.

This client will use our documents to return the earrings for a refund. Not everyone is that lucky.

Give us a call before you buy online. We can give you options that will save you time, money and you’ll end up with a great piece of jewelry you’ll love.

We have knowledge you can trust.

Another fantastic before and after for repairs. This is a specialized invisible setting with princess cut diamonds. Invisible setting makes a gorgeous, large surface look that takes a talented jeweler years to perfect.

If we can handle this, we can also handle your repair needs as well!

We’ve had another busy week here, appraising the newly engaged and settling estates for heirs. One thing has stood out consistently over the last several months: online shopping disappointments. The number of clients coming in with incredibly inflated prices on items from online TicTok stores and TV shopping shows has been increasing. It’s getting worse due to the marketing and psychological sales tactics these outlets use.

Please, buyer beware. If you see something on TV or online, give us a call. We offer free 15-minute consultations and can guide you through a purchase that will be worth your time and money. Our network of trusted retailers is dedicated to providing you with the best jewelry-buying experience, so you can feel confident about your purchase.

As independent and unbiased appraisers in the industry, we have the opportunity to serve you in the best way possible. We have knowledge you can trust.
