How to Buy Fashion Jewelry Rings

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Fashion jewelry never goes out of style but frequently when a new style comes out many replicas and knock offs hit the market trying to cash in on the latest trends. Many people purchase what they believe is high-end designer jewelry when in fact they are buying poor quality items made from cheap materials. If you want to invest your hard earned cash in genuine items whom can you trust?

The most important part is to shop at retailers with proven reputations. Go to well-known stores and retail chains that sell brand name fashion jewelry items. Stores like this depend on the reputation they have for only selling high quality brand name items. There is a lot less risk of being conned than when you buy from a shop that is not well known. Also check out the label on the item itself as added assurance.

If you design taste are for something more original in the way of fashion jewelry rings visit local jewelry designer shops. These types of places usually sell items they have made themselves so you can be certain of buying original pieces of fashion jewelry.

Shopping online is something many people do these days and you can look at larger variety of jewelry rings than you could locally. Use your common sense and on sites that offer seller feedback, like eBay, check out the sellers reputation.

Most importantly read and make sure you fully understand the returns policy so that if the item is not what you expected or desired you can return it for a refund. Also make sure the site offers secure card processing to ensure your information is safe. Common sense is ultimately the most vital aspect in buying fashion jewelry rings, or even anything where you are parting with money.

Custom Jeweler Graff Gets Good News

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

The custom jeweler Graff received some good news recently involving the heist that netted $65 million worth of jewelry from their flagship store in London on Aug ,6. Police have made an arrest in connection with the crime.

Police said the suspect, who was arrested on Aug. 10 and subsequently released on bail, is not one of the two men who entered the store, threatened employees with handguns and grabbed about 43 jewelry items.

The two men then briefly took a female staff member hostage and escaped in a series of getaway cars across central London, the AP reports.

According to the AP, police believe at least two others helped the pair escape.

No one was hurt in the robbery, considered the biggest in British history.

Police said the men made off with dozens of high-end rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches, including a custom flower-motif necklace composed of 272 diamonds and a lavish pair of triple-hoop earrings bearing approximately 216 gemstones.

Although the man was arrested on Aug. 10, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman told the AP police kept news of his capture secret for “operational reasons.” She spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with department policy.

Police declined to say what amount they set as bail, the AP reports.

Find: Blue Beaded Bracelet

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

What a cute bracelet! It’s made from faceted beads sitting in a black channel setting (and the black shows off their rich teal blue color). The bead strand ends a little inwards from the sides of the bracelet, leaving a space front and center for wound leather embellishments and an oversize black clasp that’s decorated with a metal charm. The bracelet is 7.5-inches long.
