Not knowing what you are buying. When you shop for a piece of jewelry, or any other substantial investment, it is important that you know what you are buying. This includes metal content (i.e., sterling silver, gold, platinum, stainless steel, titanium or other metal), whether or not the item features simulated or genuine gemstones and the condition of the item.
Going over your budget. Overspending is common, regardless of what you are buying. When it comes to jewelry, it is easy to fall in love with an item and be willing to pay anything to own it. If you want to avoid this common mistake, set a budget and stick to it. If at all possible, avoid the temptation of overspending by simply avoiding anything over your set budget. Stay clear of items that you know are out of your price range, which will prevent you from wanting them.
Impulse buying. By definition, an impulse is a strong urge to act. When shopping, it is easy to make an impulse purchase, but not always so easy to handle the buyers remorse that sets in soon thereafter. When shopping, ask yourself if this is something that you really love and, if so, have you wanted it for a long time. If it isn't either of the two, you may be making an impulse purchase. When you make an impulse purchase, you are preventing yourself from shopping around and comparing prices, which may lead to your paying a higher price.
Buying from a company with no return policy. It's always important to understand a company's return policy, if any, prior to making a purchase. Some businesses offer a 30-day policy, while others may go up to 90-days. Some, however, operate on a strictly "all sales are final" sales policy. The latter is especially troubling to consumers who are thinking of making a purchase, especially if it is a substantial one. As you shop, look for a company that offers a return policy and clearly outlines the terms and conditions upfront.
Keeping something that you will not wear. We all have something in our closet and our jewelry box that never gets worn, which is why one of the most common mistakes to avoid when shopping is to keep something that you will not use. This is true of anything, including jewelry. If it's going to sit in your jewelry box and collect dust, you may be better suited to invest your money in a piece that you will wear and enjoy. If you buy something and haven't worn it within a month, consider returning it. If you haven't worn it yet, chances are good that you will not soon be reaching for it.
Buying something just because it's a good deal. It's always great to get a bargain, but it's not enough just to get a great deal on a piece of jewelry. You should love the accessory that you buy and make sure it's something that you will wear. Otherwise, you are essentially tossing your money away. Avoid buying something simply because it's on sale or you think it's a bargain. Instead, look for the best deal you can find on something you truly want to own.
Failing to shop online and compare prices. One of the biggest mistakes that you could make is to purchase something locally without first browsing the internet to compare prices. The world wide web is a fantastic place to shop, which is why you should check out your favorite online jewelry retailer before deciding to make a purchase.
