Purchasing sterling
silver jewelry in Greenville, Kentucky for yourself or as a gift should involve
comparative price shopping in order to get the best deal you can on pieces you
want. With more and more businesses turning to online storefronts, consumers
are more readily empowered than ever to make sure that they get the item they
want at the most competitive prices. Buying bracelets, rings and necklaces
online is no exception; however, the comparison process may be a little
different since not all jewelers carry the exact same pieces. However, you can
usually find similar pieces and make your comparison from there if you know
what you should be looking for. Here are a few tips to help you find the best
deals online.
Metal
Grade and Weight
Product descriptions
are very helpful for determining whether or not two slightly different pieces
are comparable. Looking at whether or not a pendant or other piece is described
as sterling silver jewelry, plated or silver tone will help you greatly. While
the former means that the entire piece is made of precious metals, the latter
two indicate that either the core or the entire piece is made from other
metals, such as nickel or iron and either plated or polished to look like 100
percent, genuine sterling. These types of pieces will not hold as much value as
the genuine metal and are therefore not comparable.
If you have found all
genuine metals in the pieces you wish to compare, look at the total weight of
the necklace, bracelet or ring before evaluating the price tag. Sometimes more
base materials have been used to craft a particular piece and it is worth more
than thinner applications of this precious metal.
Valuations
From time to time you
will find an online sterling silver jewelry retailer that offers estate pieces
or one of a kind accessories. If this is the type of product you are
considering, make sure that you review the value of the piece you are
considering. Most of these types of retailers will have their wares appraised
by antiques dealers or other professional services so that you can get a better
feel for what a particular pair of earrings or pendant is worth. And if you are
really lucky, there are times that you will find a piece’s complete history or
background information that will increase the value of such pieces.
Reviews
Before purchasing
anything online, it is a good idea to read the reviews associated with a
particular retailer to ensure that previous customers were pleased with the
service they received and the product that was shipped to them. Once you have
made your selection, finalize your decision over the online recommendations
from former customers.
