You can buy almost anything online, but should you really buy fine jewelry or watches on the internet? Online shopping is a ubiquitous experience of life in the modern era, but it can still feel risky when purchasing something sentimental and expensive. At the same time, there’s a wider selection and often much more competitive pricing when you shop online versus traditional brick-and-mortar storefronts.
Whether you are looking for a gift, an engagement ring, or even something for yourself, you should always feel confident in your purchase. To learn what to look out for when buying fine jewelry online, keep reading for our five most important tips.
Before you start checkout, make sure you are confident you are buying from a reputable business. Always read online reviews and double-check the official review profiles link to the same website. To avoid any unwanted surprises, you should also review the jewelry listing and read every detail about the piece’s condition. An honest seller will be forthcoming with honest answers to any question you may have about the item and your potential purchase.
Before you buy online, make sure you’ve researched the seller’s shipping and return policies. If you are purchasing an expensive jewelry item, you will want to make sure the shipping is insured for the value of your item. You should also make sure you fully understand the return policy. A website may offer returns for a majority of their items, but certain items like new or never worn pieces may be excluded from this policy. This information should always be clearly presented on the piece’s listing.

An appraisal or valuation is provided by the jeweler or seller and details the value of your item. If you are buying an item with precious gemstones, it should list diamond attributes like color, cut, clarity and carat weight. This document is helpful when you look to ensure your piece or provide proof of ownership. It’s also a document that transparently lists the materials and specifications of your piece for your own records. Each OMI Jewelry piece comes with a free appraisal.
Find out if the piece you are considering comes with a warranty from the manufacturer or from the seller/vendor themselves. When buying jewelry online, this warranty should cover any defects and loose gemstones for at least a year. If this isn’t offered, you could be on the hook for any repairs that were out of your control. At OMI jewelry, all jewelry is covered under a one-year warranty in the rare event that your piece has a flaw or a stone comes loose.Understanding your size is crucial, particularly when ring shopping. You’ll first want to understand the sizing used in the jewelry listing. You can find rings measured in US sizing, European sizing, millimeters, inches, and many other ways. Be sure you understand the exact measurement standards of the listing before you buy it.
If you don’t know your ring size by any measurement standard, then you can always go to a local jeweler and ask them to size your finger. If you are local or visiting New York City, you can stop by for sizing at OMI Jewelry’s showroom in the famous Diamond District at 20 W 47th St.
If you know your size but are having difficulty finding the right piece in your size, you can take a piece to your local jeweler for resizing. To cut out that extra step, OMI Jewelry can make your ring to size if you can’t find the size you are looking for. Contact customer service and they can assist you in custom ring sizing.
Necklaces, bangles, and diamond rings are all too mainstream. Some of it is part of the tradition. But anklets is the new trend we could set, or bring back from ages before the ring became the standard evergreen piece of jewelry. The best thing about anklets is that they are easy to make in an adjustable size, just like necklaces. It can run down in your family for ages because it is contemporary today.
Studs are wonderful jewelry for women that can easily go with any dress. They also suit all body types. You can wear short studded diamond jewelry to get an elegant makeover. If you are tall, you can go for the large ones that can boldly accentuate your attire.

If you like vintage or gothic looks, there are many vintage theme studs as well as goth studs available, which give your attire a fresh yet classy look.

Myths say Pearl is an important ingredient of the magical potion that makes two people fall in love. Pearl also symbolizes purity. This is why Pearl jewelry is a popular choice for bridal and groom jewelry at weddings.
Reasons why you too should have your own collection of pearl jewelry.
If you are Unique
Pearls are the only gemstones that are extracted from living creatures. Natural pearls are extremely rare; only about 1 oyster in 10000 may hold a single natural pearl. They are actually rare, unlike a diamond that has been made rare in the market. A natural pearl is truly rare and beautiful.
Easy on the Pocket
Because of the scarcity of naturally occurring pearls, most pearls in the market today are cultured pearls. The price of pearls is reasonable because it is possible to culture real pearls. Pearl bracelets made from cultured pearl will be as classy as a pearl jewelry made with natural pearls.
Dresses with V-shaped necklines draw attention to the cleavage. The necklace should adorn it and not shy away from it. The pendant needs to be angular, matching the V shape. Diamond necklaces can be a good idea. The wider the neckline, the bigger the pendant you need to consider. The necklace needs to go down along with a plunging neckline.
Off-Shoulder Dresses
For off-shoulder necklines, choker necklaces may be a good idea. It helps to draw attention to the neck. The pendant needs to be a short one so as to accentuate your neck. If you don’t want to accentuate the neck, you can go for a princess diamond necklace.
Halter Strap Dresses
Some halter strap tops do have the same effect as a V-neck, albeit attenuated. You can choose shorter and narrower pendants compared to that with a V-neck dress. Again, you can go for a choker necklace if you want to accentuate your neck rather than other areas.
Square Neckline Dresses
For such dresses, square-shaped pendants are a good choice. However, angular necklaces may not be a good idea to match with a square neckline, since it may draw attention to your jawline.
Sweetheart Neckline Dresses
Sweetheart necklines accentuate the neck, cleavage, and shoulders. Necklaces with wide pendants can balance the open areas around your neckline. To balance the sharp angles of such necklines, you can go for pendants with soft angles and curves instead of hard angles. Diamond necklaces go very well with such necklines.
Turtleneck Dresses
Turtleneck dresses draw attention away from the neck. You can choose large pendants to make a statement. Necklaces for such necklines need to be medium or long, but not too long.
Collared Neckline Dresses
Collared necklines don’t offer much space for necklaces to complement them. For those with a longer neck, chokers are a good option. For others, a pendant sitting just above the last open button can be a good idea.
Asymmetrical Neckline Dresses
You have to deal like with like. So, go for a necklace that has its own asymmetric outline. Pendant of any size goes well with such dresses, but it needs to be proportionate to the neckline. Not want to take a risk? go for a choker.
Matching necklaces with necklines is definitely painstaking. The rule of thumb is either to complement the neckline or to use pendants as a statement of its own. For necklines that offer space, complementing them with necklaces makes aesthetic sense. If space is scarce, go for statement pendants. Otherwise, a choker may save you the hassles of selecting a necklace.
Buyers today are experimenting more and more with their individual appearances and fashion choices. This is being reflected in the jewelry market as well. Buyers are interested in metals like platinum, white gold, rose gold, stone bases, and other contemporary materials.
One particular metal, rose gold, is becoming the big fashion trend of 2018. The warm pink color of rose gold goes well with every skin tone. It also gives a rather uncommon and classy look. Paired with diamonds and/or other precious stones, even white or yellow gold, rose gold offers a wide range of elegant design options.
