Up until approx 7 years ago, Jewelry was not something any of us would typically think of purchasing on line. Purchasing Jewelry on line is becoming more and more popular every day. As an online retailer, we are able to reach a larger audience, helping to give us a better, more enriched selection and quality of Jewelry, Italian Charms and their accessories. We personally do not have a store front which is NOT dependent on expensive advertising, retail space, enabling us to have more competitive prices.

When purchasing jewelry online, you need to be aware of several basic rules.

Make sure the online retailer has great testimonials, shipping policies, guarantees that are in place and most of all listen to your gut feelings. Ask the right questions,

1.) Are your Italian Charms soldered or glued? (You do not want glued Italian Charms)

2.) Are the links 100% Stainless Steel? Watch out for links that have Tin in them. They do not have that heavy, secure feeling. They also will tarnish your skin. (If you are one that is sensitive to &/or Allergic to Metal. You will, certainly probably react to the links that are NOT 100% Stainless Steel).

3.) Do they advertise that they will stand behind their products and unconditionally guarantee that if NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED they will exchange or refund the product?

4.) Lastly, try purchasing one item, see how long it takes for them to process the order, ship the order, how it is packaged, & most of all are you happy with the Italian Charm that you ordered, their service and would you return to their web site and process another order?

The most important thought that you need to consider is; Do the items that are inventoried on this web site appear to be the new ones that other web sites are offering? By being able to determine if this site has “New Designs & Stock" you can be rest assured be confident that their inventory is new, and not out dated old designs. This allows you the room of confidence that this web site is reputable and safe to purchase from.

One more point of interest, if the web site allows you to call, ask questions, gives several options to be able to contact someone from the business; this is also a VERY Valuable tool and EXCELLENT SIGN of reliability. Memories last a life time, and also, is the potential of these bracelets lasting for a very long time. Be rest assured, that if you have done your homework, the service, the product, the shipping, the guarantees and most of all the personal service that these folks may offer you are ALL Valuable points of determination if you are comfortable shopping on this web site.
