Jewellery is more than something you wear. It represents occasions and carries meaning, as a gift, a celebration of a milestone or a sentimental purchase
Many people now choose to shop for jewellery online. It’s simple, convenient and can be done from anywhere in the world. There are even fast shipping options available to deliver your pieces to your door as quickly as possible.
However, there is more to the purchase process of fine jewellery than speed and convenience. Being able to view sample pieces, take inspiration from existing designs and purchase based on the advice of experts are all unique to the experience of shopping in-store.
In this article, we’ll compare buying jewellery in store to online shopping. We’ll highlight some of the potential risks of buying jewellery online and outline how a visit to a jewellery store, such as Volle, helps you purchase an authentic, meaningful piece.
The Rise of Online Jewellery Shopping
Shopping online is becoming increasingly popular, due to its accessibility and efficiency. You can shop for jewellery whenever you would like, comparing prices and features directly from your device.
However, purchasing over the internet also has its limitations. One of the biggest disadvantages of buying jewellery online is that it’s a highly impersonal process. You can’t always be sure of how the piece will look or feel in real life. Knowing how a stone reflects light or how well a metal matches your skin tone, is an important part of the purchasing process for collectors and enthusiasts of fine jewellery.
In these situations, in-store shopping is more valuable. A consultation allows you to see sample pieces for yourself, try them on for size and appearance, and receive advice from a jewellery expert. It ensures that the purchasing experience is as personal as the pieces themselves.
Is it Safe to Buy Jewellery Online?
There are some risks in buying jewellery online. One of the biggest concerns is the authenticity of each piece, especially if it claims to use a precious or rare gemstone, such as an Australian opal or pink diamond.
Online descriptions and pictures don’t always do a beautiful piece justice, meaning customers can end up buying jewellery that is not as valuable or as stylish as they expected.
Fine jewellery, in particular, is a momentous purchase. You should check the piece thoroughly and inspect it in detail before buying. An easy way to do this is by booking a consultation at a jewellery store, where you can view the piece in person and get expert guidance before making a purchase.
The Case for In-store Jewellery Shopping
Jewellery evokes unique feelings in different people. From inspecting the lustre of pearls in a necklace to marvelling at an opal’s play of colour, these experiences cannot be easily conveyed in photos and are exclusive to shopping in-store.
In-store shopping provides an experience that can’t be replicated online. When you visit a jewellery store such as Volle Jewellery, you can see, compare and ask about the pieces on display before buying. This personal experience enables you to select jewellery that suits your style and taste.
What’s more, purchasing from a jewellery store provides access to experts who can guide you through each stage of the decision. They can uncover the history of particular pieces or gemstones, and provide unique insight into their value.
