Industry Tips

Contracts

As with any business transaction, be sure to read all agreements, guarantees, and instructions before signing. Do not be pressured into signing an agreement before you are ready and you understand all terms and conditions. Make sure all oral promises are put in writing. Be wary of vaguely worded provisions, exclusions or limitations which could pose a problem later. Never sign a contract with sections left blank.

Jewelry buying tip

The BBB offers a checklist to help consumers find the finest quality jewelry at the best value.

To locate a reputable jewelry store:
* Check a store's reputation by consulting friends, relatives or coworkers who have shopped there.
* Be sure the store has a long-standing, solid reputation in the community.
* Obtain a report on the business from BBB (www.bbb.org) in order to get better insight into the company's past performance history.
* Find out what organizations the jeweler belongs to and their membership requirements. Many trade organizations require strict adherence to good business practices before accepting a store for membership.
* Ask about the gemological and appraisal education of the store's salespeople.

Before making a jewelry purchase:
* Educate yourself about the special features of the particular jewelry (ie pearls, gemstones, gold, platinum, etc) you are considering. The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) offers an online booklet on buying jewelry, as does BBB (www.bbb.org).
* Shop around. Compare quality, price and service.
* Ask about the store's refund and return policy. Carefully read all warranties and ask questions if the terms are unclear.
* Make sure the jeweler writes on the sales receipt any information you relied on when making your purchase, such as the gem's weight or size. Some jewelers will supply a grading report from a gemological laboratory.

If you are shopping for jewelry online:
* If a store is unfamiliar, check with BBB for a report. Stores that meet standards for ethical online business practices are authorized to display a BBBOnLine Reliability seal on their web site.
* Get product details, as well as the merchant's refund and return policies.
* Look for an address to write to or a phone number to call if you have a problem or need assistance.
* Print out a copy of any transaction receipts for your records.
