Testing a Jeweler:

Out of every hundred jewelers, 98 will be wrongly telling you that they have the best prices, in order to find out the best price, search the prices of gold, diamond etc in your city though the reliable regulating body and then see if the jewelry item you’re buying has that amount of stone/gold/diamond you’re paying for. This is just first time you’ll have problem, and once you found a best jeweler, better continue dealing with him.

Authenticate the Jeweler:

No jeweler says that he’s not a good or expert one, but most of them are, so better is to find an authentic one. This is what you can do by asking him for the certificate of a reputable (with in your city/state/country) jewelers regulating body.

Big Sales’ Magic:

Visiting big sales and having an idea about new trends, comparisons and prices is not that bad, but buying from such sales is something not recommended by experts.

Get Written Details:

One way out of jewelry scam is to get the deal in written. But again, this works only if the jeweler is an established one.

Avoid Tourist Traps:

Never buy a costly jewelry on a trip, no matter, how dainty it’s, and how attractively the seller is stimulating the desire for that piece.
Fill you jewelry box with quality items and at good prices, so that you can keep a balance in your pocket to spend more for beauty.
