Top 10 precautions when buying jewelry.
If it sounds too good to be true…
-
On Sale! 50% off! This is usually
a sneaky way to make customers feel as if they are getting a good price;
when in reality the price that it sells
for is usually the RETAIL PRICE.
-
1ct of diamonds for
$399? Did you
know that diamonds are not rare, but less than 20% of diamonds
are gem Quality! So when its$399 for
1ct, the term for the diamond you see is BORSCH and is generally
used for industrial purposes.
-
"Our 1ct is cheaper!” Did
you know all diamonds are not cut equal? Up to 60% of the cost
of a diamond is in the cut. A 1ct
for $4,995 will probably not have ideal proportions and spread
and may not reflect light
as well; an ideal cut diamond at $9,995 will internally refract
all the colors of the rainbow like a prism. So would you like
something good or amazingly brilliant? (Pictured below are examples of cut.)
-
“Gold Chains For less?” Why
do some chains cost twice as much? The reason some chains cost twice as much
as others is that some
chains contain twice as much gold. In other cases, if the chain
dings or is unusually light
it is probably hollow. Loch Jewelers carries chains that are
solid gold and include a lifetime warranty.
-
“Quality jewelry is too expensive.” An
ancient Chinese proverb “When
you buy quality you only cry once.” Quality jewelry can be affordable
and Loch Jewelers will always respect your budget.
-
“It looked different in the Picture.” At
Loch jewelers it’s
free to look and fun to try on. If the piece of jewelry
is not shown in the store, it can be ordered in for you to see without
any obligation to buy.
-
“Is this Real?” If
you have to ask if the “ tanzanite
ring” is real tanzanite, do you really trust who you’re buying
from?
-
“I got an additional 10% off with my national
chain account.” When
you get 12 months interest free a bank owns the jewelry
store you’re
buying from.
-
“Is the owner here?” “No he only comes by at Christmas.” Yes,
since Loch Jewelers is family owned and operated, a family
member is always present to hear your needs.
-
“The warranty costs extra?” At
Loch Jewelers the warranty is included as a gift. Loch Jewelers gives you
a full lifetime
guarantee of our craftsmanship with a regular 6 month free
cleaning and inspection.
