1. Seven Jewellery Buying Tips You Cannot Afford To Ignore
Special occasion is on the onset and you are still confused about what to buy? It is time to strap up and face your fear about shopping. It is no secret that “Diamonds are a woman’s best friend”, so depending on your intimacy, buying jewellery for her would be your best bet. Gone are the days when a man used to feel awkward by walking into a jewellery store. Strength of a man relies on his knowledge and a man like yourself, can very well tutor himself with a little guidance from us. Here are seven jewellery buying tips that will make your shopping experience pleasurable:

2. 1. Understand her taste: The best way to find out what to gift your ‘Special Someone’ is by recognizing her choice. Listen to her for some clues; look at her to know her taste, what she wears, what she likes and dislikes. If it is a ring that you have in mind then, get the size right. Be careful and find out if she has any metal allergies, you don’t want to run towards a hospital instead of champagne!
2. Identify what you want to purchase: When you know exactly what you want to buy in a store, it makes it a quick and easy purchase. From the variety of items available in the jewellery store like chain, designer earrings, fashion rings etc, shortlist your pick. Pre-define your budget, be prepared to be a little flexible but don’t over-spend. Ignorance in this field can rip you off.
3. Educate yourself: Now that you have shortlisted your choices, do your homework and gather knowledge about the items. Learn about the best option available for you in the market, know what is in. Depending on her choice and the occasion, you should decide whether you will make a diamond or pearl or precious stones purchase. Collect quick tips and equip yourself with relevant technical terms like Hallmark, Karat weight for gold purchase; Carat, Cut, Clarity for diamond purchase; Natural, Cultured, Imitation, Luster for pearl purchase. You should know enough to ask the right questions and not to sound like a total amateur.
4. Ask for help: It is always better to take some help along. Second opinion can be very useful when you are not an expert in the field. A trustworthy jeweller or a knowledgeable friend/relative or the person for whom you are buying are the best people you can rely to pick out the right jewel.
5. Choosing the jewellers: Some may suggest you to avoid prestigious name because of the add-on price that you have to pay for the brand name, making the purchase expensive. Others may tell you to go for the big names and chain of jewellers because of the trust and market value their name carries. It is totally your call to find the right place to buy. A local trusted jeweller will also suffice; you may stumble upon something unique in the most unexpected places.
6. Refund, return policy: Big chains though expensive, carry high reputation and guarantee so they tend to have better promises of refund and better return policies. Local jeweller who have been in business for long, try to give you a sweet deal too which is reliable. When going for a new local seller it is always better to enquire more than being ripped-off. It is highly recommended that you ensure genuine receipts with clearly defined terms and conditions.

3. 7. Shop around: Jewellery purchase is an expensive affair, so it is always smarter to look around before closing your deal. You should try to bargain to strike a better deal; some jewellers would be willing to haggle over a particular item’s price. If you are confident and knowledgeable enough, you can also avail great deals and discounts by buying jewellery online from trusted dealers. There are many online jewellery stores Australia that have exclusive collection available at affordable prices. The online stores offer jewellery at competitive prices as they don't have to bear the add-on expenses of running a store and maintaining huge staff.
