Koosh Jewelers Explains How to Assess the Quality of Jewelry Before Making a Purchase

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., October 30, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Koosh Jewelers, South Florida's premier luxury jewelry and watch emporium, explains to shoppers how they can assess the quality of a piece of jewelry before making a purchase. 

Check the Hallmark

Before making a large jewelry investment, shoppers should examine the hallmark. The hallmark is a series of indentations on the jewelry that indicate the purity of the metal. Shoppers should be wary of pieces that do not have hallmarks on them, as the quality of the material may not be as great as advertised.

Shoppers that do not examine the quality of a piece could be disappointed once they leave the store. Beyond the appearance of the piece, shoppers should also ask for gem certification as well as the appraised value of an item. 

Examine the Gemstone Closely 

Although are polished to sparkle brightly in a jewelry showroom, it is important for shoppers to make a close inspection of the jewelry to determine if there are any imperfections or cuts. It is also advisable to ask for the stone to be removed from the setting to see if there are scratches are blemishes that the setting hides. 

Only Buy from an Established Jeweler

With the advent of e-commerce platforms, social media, and so many new ways to buy jewelry, it is important for shoppers to do their due diligence before selecting a jeweler. The best way to determine the reputation of a jeweler is to read reviews from other shoppers online. Once a jeweler checks out online, a shopper can go to the store to look at jewelry. Although more people are looking online to purchase, when buying jewelry it is important to go into the store to examine them in person. An online photo could just be a stock photo and not the actual product.
