Tips for buying jewellery online

Online shopping allows us to do many things from the comfort of our homes. We can order groceries, pay bills and even rent movies online. It’s only natural that you’d be interested in purchasing other items this way as well, even jewellery!

However, before you do so, read our guide so that the next time you log on, you’ll be sure to find exactly what you're looking for and have a great Bevilles experience. 

Have you ever visited an online jewellery store and been overwhelmed by the choices available to you? You can avoid this by firstly narrowing down what type of jewellery you want before you visit any website. For example, are you looking for sterling silver jewellery, men’s wedding rings or rose gold watches? The more specific your search, the less likely you’ll be getting side-tracked so that you successfully find what you’re looking for.

The second thing you can do is to create a budget for your purchases. A quality online jewellery store will have options for every budget, so making a note of what you’re willing to spend will make the process easier. You should also be able to filter the products by price or sort from least expensive to most expensive.

By now, you should have narrowed down your potential purchase to several suitable items. A good online retailer will give you a wide range to choose from, including many styles, sizes and colours. For example, if you’re buying a friend a necklace as a birthday gift and are looking for one priced in the mid-range, there should be options to choose from, whether his or her personal style is minimalist, quirky or classic.

Before you proceed to the checkout, make sure that the retailer adheres to the highest standards and ethics in accordance with the Jewellers Association of Australia (JAA). You can find this out by looking for the JAA member sign on the retailer’s website.

Last but not least, thoroughly investigate the options the store provides you with in terms of additional services. Can they engrave a message on your jewellery purchase? How long is the warranty and what is their returns policy? Can they deliver to your doorstep and if so, what’s the fee?

If you’re looking for an online retailer that can offer all the above and more, Bevilles fits the bill. We pride ourselves on offering an online jewellery shopping experience that rivals one you’d experience by walking into any of our store locations across Australia.
