Any Jewelry-buying Tips?

[yrrocks]

I have some money saved, I wanna get myself sth that has real diamonds, I went shopping today and I really liked a necklace with cute colored leaf-shaped hanging from it, I loved it as it looked really elegant, the problem was that when tried it on it was just below my neck (kinda short on me), I'm tall and have broad shoulders, and quite a large busted, should this be taken into consideration when buying a necklace (and the piece that hangs from it - dunno what's it's called!)? or does an elegant necklace look good on everyone? if not, any advice for me? also, what do u think will look like cheap jewelry? childish styles maybe?

I also have broad shoulders and am big busted, so I know what it feels like! Try buying a big charm, on that is interesting. The piece will draw attention to the necklace rather than your shoulders. Also, try going for a color that will draw out your eyes, and match it with a cute outfit or dress! I promise it will work for you.

Take your time and don't buy something on a whim because it's the first thing you saw. You've saved your money, so spend it wisely.

I think you ought to consider how you dress, and what kind of jewelry piece will go with your type of clothing. IMHO where it falls on your neck is totally your decision... I have some necklaces that are longer for wearing with lower cut tops, and some necklaces that are shorter for wearing with higher cut tops.
You might consider, too, what will you wear with it as far as earrings are concerned, if earrings matter to you.

Also, does the jewelry seem well made? Are you purchasing it from a reputable company or store? What is the return policy, if you should get it home and find then that you don't like it?

You could also look around on the internet to see if there are similar pieces available to find out what the going price seems to be, to check and see if you're getting a fair deal.

Good luck!

in my buying dictionary, never shop on line for expensive jewelry ,like gold, diamond ones' that's too risky,and if unlucky, the lose can will make me cry for a month.

when on-line shopping, i will first thinks carefully what i really want, for example, sometime i want costume jewelry, not other kind, so i will input low price fashion/trendy jewelry into google,and compare among the stores in the result google page, in that situation, the result will be more objective, i think.
