Want to buy jewelry on Amazon? Beware: some time ago on one of the most popular technology websites, Gizmodo, an article appeared that accuses the jewels sold on the Amazon platform. Will it be just like the site writes? In any case, this article is worth reading \u2666<\/h4>\n

“Do not buy jewelry on Amazon\u201d. The frontal attack comes from a site well known to fans of technology: Gizmodo<\/a>. The site has decided to charge headlong the largest online store founded by Jeff Bezos. The initiative is really strong. Gizmodo published an article under the lens by putting the offer of Amazon in terms of jewelry. It pointed the finger on trade policy. “We have asked the Gemological Institute of America to evaluate some of the articles,” pressed Gizmodo. And the result was not encouraging. The first charge is a set of engagement ring with diamond”. It is being sold for half its official price, 2 thousand dollars, but what you did exactly?” Asks Kristen Dowling, the expert gemological institute consulted by Gizmodo.<\/p>\n

The expert has many doubts, from karat gold, 10K. “It means that there is only 41.6 % gold in the alloy, compared to 58.5% of 75% of 14K or 18K,” notes the gemologist. Another objection concerns the diamonds: they are many, but tiny. “There are 25 diamonds! As you can imagine, small diamonds are much more common than large ones. If there was only 1 diamond weighing 0.99 carats then the price would be much higher.” And the color ? The diamonds are graded G -H. ” This means that there is very little yellow. In short, they have a good color, but unfortunately the classification I1-I2 Clarity means that they have many inclusions. It is natural minerals, which are imperfections inside the diamond.” In short, it seems like a bargain ” price does not signal an opportunity, but simply the value of the material used.”<\/p>\n

The judgment does not improve for a couple of gold earrings with garnets.<\/strong>

“The original price, $ 380, is outrageous,” says Dowling. In fact, Amazon has lowered the cost to $ 150, which is “a relatively reasonable market value.” But the devil is in the details: “The Sterling silver is very cheap and with the small amount of 14K gold in the value of the metal is very poor. Also, the garnets are a gem from the very low cost.” Finally, thumbs down even earrings with white topaz and diamond blacks offered by large online retailer. Here too, the price is sure to impress: $ 200. But according to Gizmodo not be fooled. “I’m always impressed by the marketing techniques in the jewelry industry. Just as the definition of Diamonds Cognac and Champagne Diamonds (Diamonds that are of low quality, that no one would have bought before that marketing does not turn into interesting stones) Black Diamonds are very popular right now. But diamonds blacks are essentially low-quality stones, treated to turn into a vivid black. And the white topaz is a stone very common at low cost. A nice alternative to diamond, but does not have the fire and brilliance of diamonds. ” Conclusion: ” All three of these pieces have a beautiful appearance and a relatively good price. Many people tend to shop online for convenience and because it costs less. But those who seek quality is better to get into a jewelry store. ”<\/p>\n

Finally, the site launches into advice for those who want to buy their jewelery online. Here they are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) The credibility of the seller: go see the real dealer. See if it has a different site than Amazon, for example, there is an engagement ring with no user reviews on Amazon. But perhaps the actual site of the retailer and try the same jewelry you can find other information, as well as on social networks.<\/p>\n

2) Watch out for details: many adjectives or definitions are the result of clever marketing. Words such as ” Tiffany ” or ” emerald ” can be misleading. For example, ” Tiffany assembly ” does not mean that it is a ring from Tiffany. Similarly, ” emerald ” does not mean that it is a real emerald, but green glass. Examine well the words of the description.<\/p>\n

3) Quality: The value of jewelry are made of silver, gold or platinum. ” Gold colored ‘is not a precious metal. The symbol means a PVD coating (acronym of Physical Vapour Deposition) with which there are carryovers metal surface in the form of films very very thin.<\/p>\n

4) Seeing is believing: Diamonds are judged by the four C’s: cut (cut), color, carat and clarity. There are things you can try until you can not see. Do not you know what you’re buying until you’re holding lA.<\/p>\n

5) Shipment: It is a good idea to make sure when you pay several hundred dollars or Euros via the internet. And make sure you can return the jewelry if it does not meet your expectations<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
