How to Buy Loose Gemstones and Jewelery Safely Online
There are some great places, some good places and there are “places” to buy loose precious gemstones and jewelry online. Going to give a few pointers which will make things easy:
1. Check Online Reviews and Reputation for your unmounted gemstone or jewelry purchase.
2. See if the website accepts PayPal and constantly not keeps on asking for Western Union as a payment method.
3. Google the “site” for 5-10 minutes and see if they constantly appear up on blogs, other web pages etc.
4. Look for a Trust Seal or Antivirus to check the authenticity of ownership of the website and its existence.
5. See if they sell loose precious gemstones and jewels on eBay and have a great feedback score.
6. If you are still not confident do not order more than $ 100-200 at one time and see if the company delivers you the right product in proper times and not charge too much for shipping.
I really ejynoed this post. You describe this topic very well. Natural gemstones are found in nature. Laboratory-created stones, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory. Laboratory- created stones do not have the rarity or value of natural colored gemstones. Laboratory-created and imitation stones should be clearly identified as such. The basic unit for weighing gemstones is the carat, which is equal to one-fifth (1/5th) of a gram. Carats are divided into 100 units, called points. When gemstones are measured by dimensions, the size is expressed in millimeters (for example, 7 5 millimeters). Gemstone treatments or enhancements refer to the way some gems are treated to improve their appearance or resilience, or even change their color. Many gemstones are treated in some way. Some enhancements also affect the value of a stone, when measured against a comparable untreated stone. Treatments and/or enhancements should always be disclosed by the seller.
