Precious Stones are Shiny and Own Them for Cheap

By Peter Nigerami

If you are a guy, you need to buy jewelry. If you are a women, you do what you can do help guys buy jewelry. That's why everyone will need to look at these money saving tips when buying all this bling.

Have a price in mind and just bid on online auctions, the prices are lower to begin with anyway and you will never need to overspend.

Don't forget about pawn shops. These shops generally ask for the value of the material in the product without a stiff markup. Remember that generally the markup on jewelry can be as high as 500 percent.

Ask around. Not many of your friends will know but one of two of them will probably be jewelry experts. They can tell you the cheapest place to buy, and the place that will give you the best service too.

Most people look at the upfront price but consider the servicing costs. Some stores will give you lifetime cleaning services for free which can add up.

Flea markets and yard sales are a great place to find good deals on jewelry but make sure you are buying genuine stone and not some composite material.

Craft fairs are a great way to buy jewelry because the dealers are honest and the prices are great. You may even learn a thing or two about jewelry that will benefit you for life.

Never go to any jewelry store based on an advertisement. Stores that have low margins rely on word of mouth and don't need advertising. The ones that buys ads are always the ones that make you pay more for the same quality.

Don't ever walk into a jewelry store inside a mall. The rent is so expensive and they always transfer the cost to the customers. Shopping channels on TV is the same thing. Stay away.

There's pure gold and there's some other type of gold. Not every one is the same so make sure you know the difference before you commit to the price as cost will vary significantly.
