It’s a Fine Time to Shop Local
Whether you are treating yourself or someone else to a piece of fine jewelry, there are many benefits to shopping your local custom jeweler instead of hitting up a national chain store.
You Can Get a Truly Custom Piece
Unlike chain stores that advertise beautiful but mass produced designs on TV, your local custom jeweler can create a piece specifically for you. You will never see your exact ring, bracelet or pendant on anyone else anywhere. Not only will your custom creation truly be one of a kind, it will likely offer more flexibility for modification later should your style change or your piece be gifted to someone else.
Personalized Customer Service
Independent jewelers are less about commissions and more about relationships. As you get to know your local jeweler, you are likely to benefit from personalized customer service in the form of diamond, gemstone and precious metals education, accurate appraisals and unbiased advice, diamond trade ins and upgrades, better warranties, and onsite repairs, cleanings and maintenance.
Better Value for your Investment
Even if they advertise and have exquisite showrooms, local jewelry stores likely have much lower overhead than chain stores involved in national corporate campaigns. They also know their market extremely well and curate their collections accordingly. With an extensive knowledge of fine jewelry — and not just their own inventory — your local jeweler can both help ensure that you know exactly what you’re buying, and are confident in the quality and craftsmanship.
You are Supporting Your Local Economy
Some of the money spent at your local jewelry store often trickles back out into your community through neighborhood partnerships, sponsorships, hiring practices and other community support. Because the store’s managers and employees likely live nearby, they value positive word-of-mouth referrals a great deal, and they have a vested interest in providing and maintaining quality standards.
Turnover is much lower allowing local jewelers to establish real relationships with their customers. They don’t just want to sell you a piece of jewelry today. They want to meet all of your future fine jewelry needs.
