Do you buy jeweleries online? Is it safe?

you can try www.bidz.com i've heard mixed reviews about this site, but mainly good. it kind of works like ebay, its a large auction site, but only for jewelery. like others have mentioned, you get what you pay for, but you can request reports and appraisels on the items you are buying. worth a look.

Jewelery appears much larger online than it does in person first of all. Secondly, minor damage to them is visible to me, so I wouldn't trust their descriptions too much.

I have bought a lot of things via the net, but I don't buy jeweleries online because I am not interested in it. My colleague likes buying jeweleries online, but anyway they are not expensive. They look good, so she is very satisfied with it.

I have bought some jeweleries in ebay, they looks nice. but I just bought those whose value is not high. It is because I am afraid of the fake if I bought, I would be unhappy.

I would say that it would be ok as long as it is from a well known jewlery store that is nationwide and not some mom and pop store. ^^

I always buy jewelry on hsn.com or qvc.com and the quality is very good and they have any kind of price besides you can see the jewelry on the show or in their website and if you don't like it they have a very good retrurn policy.

After my recent run ins with scammers on e.bay and paypal i am unsre anything on here is safe blessed be

I don't shop much online for fear of identity theft, The only time I have even bought anything online was from amazon and it was for a few movies and cd's.

My husband has purchased a fair bit of jewelry online for me. Overall, it's much cheaper than purchasing it the store where we live. And I find better selection online than in the stores. I think it's pretty safe if you're buying from online jewelers like Bluenile, Mondera, or ice.com. They typically have good return policies so you can return the item if you're not satisfied with it. A good return policy is important when buying jewelery online. If you're not happy with the product, it doesn't match the description, or it doesn't appraise well, you can simply send it back and get your money returned. If you're buying on eBay, you need to be careful and ask lots of questions. There is a lot of jewelry that is fake, or not as described. Remember, you get what you pay for. Check feedback, and look at the prices of similar products. Ask about genuine verses lab created, clarity, if it's eye clean, color, size, weight, if it's been clarity or color enhanced, quality of the cut, metal type (filled, plated, solid, karat), and if the photograph is the actual image of the item being sold (I find occasionally that it's not - they just use a generic picture to sell various similar products). Also check if it's been certified or appraised by a respectable gem association. Good luck shopping! Buying jewelry online can be a lot of fun, and save you a ton of money compared to buying it in a store.

you should have it appraised by the expert but you cant do it online

I don't buy Jewelry online, because I don't think or feel it is safe. I wouldn't buy jewelry online

well its hard to tell if jewlery is authentic or not lots of fakes out there like the 1st said get it apprased or maybe ask the appraser what online site he uses ..never want to spend your money on somehing thats not real

I think it depends where you wanted to buy them from. If you buy them from a place like overstock.com or bluefly.com it should be safe, and there are generally additional discount coupons you can find online (in about the 10% range). The best thing about them is that both of these online retailers have very good return policies.

I've purchased from several websites and have had great luck because I do my homework first. Check to see what there return policy is and is there customer service good? I've bought jewelry from rosssimons.com(real) and hollywoodlux.com (fashion) and have been pleased by both..Good luck.
