Jewelry and Accessories

Question

Replicas

You can also consider purchasing replicas. Replica stones can be a bit hard to compare from a distance, especially if you are wearing them. The average eye won't be able to notice the differences in the characteristics of a particular stone. If you have chosen a particular piece but you are on a tight budget, you can acquire a similar piece with fair and inexpensive materials at a very reasonable price that is still appealing to the eye.

Ask For a Discount

If you are a confident buyer, do not hesitate to ask for a discount in pearls a store, especially if you are planning to buy several pieces. Purchasing in quantity gives the owner ample room to give a bit more of a discount. You have to remember that stores typically offer jewelry at retail prices that are as much as a 400-800% mark up of their original cost. Try to bargain down from the original price. It is recommended that you ask for a discount because they generally have plenty of room to negotiate and most times they will do so when faced with simply losing the sale otherwise.

Answer 1

I wonder, are you willing to wear imitation accessories? I am planning to buy some new accessories and upgrade my wardrobe lately. My friend was against fake jewelry and we had a bit of bickering about it. She believed fake jewelry is of poor quality but based on what I found in Dhana's fake jewelry review not long ago and I was impressed by the materials and craftsmanship of the imitation jewelry. It never occurs to me that fake jewelry uses true gold and true diamond. She was shocked to read this post. Now I am considering ordering one and see the actual quality.
