We sell numerous different types of jewelry on our website, including those with gemstones. Whether you have your eye on a pair of gold and ruby earrings, emerald ring, onyx cufflinks, or nearly anything else, you can find it in our catalogue! We know you’re excited to buy gemstones, and we’re excited for you. At the same time, it can feel a bit risky to make such a large purchase. Do you feel as if you’re not sure whether or not you’re buying the right thing? Do you feel confident in the quality of your purchase? We want to ensure you have the peace of mind you need to feel nothing but excited about buying gemstones from us, which is why we put together a quick guide.

When you’re buying gemstones online, you’ll want to ask yourself a few key things:

#1 Why is this gemstone cut and/or set in this particular way?

Gemstones are typically fashioned in certain cuts or settings based on their specific characteristics, particularly if the type of gemstone is susceptible to damage. An emerald is most often presented in a rectangular shape with truncated corners because this suits its brittle nature. That’s why the shape is called an “emerald-cut” even if another gemstone is cut into it! Opals, which are very soft, are often sold with a bezel setting to protect the stone. You wouldn’t want to buy a soft gemstone that is set in a way that will quickly lead to irreparable damage. 

#2 What factors make this gemstone the right choice for me?

Buying a piece of luxury gemstone jewellery should reflect your personality and tastes. Why does this particular gemstone feel so right to you? Do you simply like its color and clarity? Is it a particular birthstone? Does it match a special outfit you have planned? Choosing the “best” gemstone is more subjective than choosing a diamond, so be prepared to follow your instincts and select a piece that you love.

#3 Do I really know what I’m buying?

You may be surprised to know that there are more than 15 gemstones in the market today. Learning their names is important, because you may come across gemstones that are known by two names. The “Balsa ruby” is actually red spinel and an “evening emerald” is peridot. Familiarise yourself with gemstone names so you aren’t fooled into paying more because of a clever name change.

Luxury jewelry is a significant purchase. As a buyer, you need to have comfort that you are getting fair value for your money. Hopefully, this simple breakdown helps you to feel more confidence in your purchase. If at any time you are feeling unsure, our team is here to help! This is why we are so proud of our Authenticity Promise. TrueFacet therefore promises that if you are not fully satisfied with the authenticity of your purchase, we will be here to help you and work with the seller of the item to accept a return of the item and refund your money back.

The history of humankind is also the history of gemstones. In fact, the earliest gemstone jewelry stretches back to 25,000 years. That’s amazing! Clearly there is something really special about gemstones, or else they wouldn’t have been so sought after for thousands of years.

Sadly, the fact that they are so valuable is exactly why some people have made fake gemstones in order to fool other people. When shopping online for jewelry, this is something to be aware of. You need to know how to spot a fake gemstone from a real gemstone in order to buy online with confidence. Here’s everything you need to know!

Tip #1 Focus on the credibility of a seller. Shopping online for jewelry and finding the right gemstone can be difficult. The first step is to find a credible seller, someone who can educate you about your gemstone. You want to find the quality, cut, and type of gemstone for your needs. Are you looking for something like this Emerald Diamond Platinum Ring or perhaps these 7 CTW 14K Solid Gold Ruby Earrings with Briolette Dangling Rubies? A credible online retailer will be happy to tell you everything you need to know and answer all of your questions!

Tip #2 Don’t try to find a perfect gemstone. An important thing to remember is that real gemstones are natural and because of this they are going to have flaws. Synthetic gems will look more perfect. Also, fake gemstones tend to sparkle and shine better than real gemstones, because real natural stones have been worn down through the environment. If a gemstone looks so perfect it could be fake, it probably is! 

This is especially true for pearls. Fake pearls are going to be smoother and will look more perfect. Real pearls are going to have a gritty feel, because they are actually a piece of grit. Try it out with the South Sea Pearl Gold Earrings and you’ll feel the difference!

Tip #3 Test it’s strength. The real test of a diamond is whether or not it can cut glass. A genuine diamond should be able to cut through glass easily, while fakes cannot. Sapphires come in right behind diamonds in terms of gemstone hardness. Since it is just a strong and durable stone, there should be no scratches. If there are nicks on the stone, then it is most likely a fake gemstone. As stated in number two, a sapphire ring should have imperfections but not actual scratches.

You want to be able to buy with confidence. High demand for precious stones has led to people being duped into buying fake ones that come in similar sizes, shapes, and colors. When you are shopping online for jewelry from us here at TrueFacet, you don’t have anything to worry about! We guarantee the authenticity of our products so much so that we offer an Authenticity Promise. If you are not fully satisfied with the authenticity of your gemstone purchase, our team will be here to help you and work with the seller of the item to accept a return of the item and refund your money back.

It’s finally your day to look and feel like a queen! Picking out your bridal jewelry is an exciting part of the wedding planning process. Bridal jewelry adds the finishing touches to your look for the special day, pulling everything together. You’ve looked forward to this for so long, it’s important that everything is perfect. That is why when you pick out your bridal jewelry, you should do so with care. You want to choose jewelry that will elevate your look, rather than overshadow or ruin it. Here’s how to do just that:

#1 Match your metals to your dress. The color of your gown should guide your choice as to whether you wear gold or silver/platinum. If your gown is white, you will look the prettiest with platinum or silver pieces. We absolutely love the idea of wearing this Tiffany & Co. Jazz Diamond Platinum Pendant & Chain with a white wedding dress. If your gown is ivory, gold jewelry will best enhance this creamy shade. Gold jewelry will complement the warm tones in a champagne dress.

#2 Consider your dress’s neckline. The neckline of your dress will play a big part in which style of earrings and necklace you wear, and even if you should wear one at all. If your dress has a sweetheart or strapless neckline, consider wearing a choker or long, dangly earrings. This Art Deco Diamond Ruby Double Strand Pearl Necklace in Platinum would look stunning as bridal jewelry! If your dress has a V-neck, pair it with a pendant necklace that fits perfectly on your chest. If your dress has a halter, scoop neck, or a turtle neck (recently made trendy by Paris Hilton!) then you should skip the necklace all together and go for statement earrings. Why not make these stunning Tanzanite And Diamond Earrings in 14 Karat Gold your something blue?

#3 Don’t get overwhelmed. If you’re having trouble deciding, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with simple diamond studs or pearl earrings. These are always classic bridal jewelry pieces! You may decide you want to opt for something like these South Sea Pearl Gold Earrings or 

Classic Diamond Stud Earrings and then make your veil or shoes the big focus of your wedding day look. We love these Tiffany & Co 18Kt Pearl & Alternating Diamond Yellow Gold Stud Earrings because they’re understated, yet also offer a little something extra.

When you shop online for your bridal jewelry, you can find the pieces you adore for a price you love just as much! Spending an astronomical amount of money on your bridal jewelry takes funds away from the wedding, dress, honeymoon, and other important future events. That is why it is becoming such a popular idea to buy second hand bridal jewelry online.

Diamonds have captured people’s imagination and love for the finer things in life for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It’s important to note that one thing that makes diamonds so special is that they all have value, even second hand diamonds. Whether it is an engagement ring, diamond family heirloom, or even a loose diamond, they all have value. There is always a market for selling diamonds for the simple fact that there is always a demand for diamonds.

Does that mean it will cost you just as much to buy a second hand diamond as it would to buy a brand new diamond straight from the jewelry store? Actually, no.

Are Second Hand Diamonds Cheaper? 

Typically speaking, a second hand diamond is around 30-50% less expensive. Because of this, second hand diamond rings are considerably cheaper than a similar brand new ring. The same size and quality diamond will often be thousands of dollars less than a similar ring that’s new. You can buy a piece that you or someone special will love, for a price you’re thrilled with.

That being said, it is important to note that some used engagement rings can be worth more than they were when new. This has to do with whether they are true vintage rings and have sought after design details or previous owners. Imagine the engagement ring worn by a famous dead celebrity or the first piece of jewelry Coco Chanel designed. These pieces will be incredibly costly, so that’s not the type of second hand diamonds we’re talking about here.

Top 3 Tips to Buy Second Hand Jewelry Online

An online seller offering used jewelry can provide discounts that can sometimes reach 30-50%, which is pretty good considering how much some of these designer and luxury pieces can cost brand new. Just keep a few things in mind:

#1 Check for brand marks. Before purchasing a pre-owned piece of jewelry, you should pay special attention to the brand. It pays to do a bit of research ahead of time. What markings should an authentic Chanel piece have? What features do all Rolex watches have? Knowing this will be very helpful in spotting fakes and feeling confident in finding an authentic piece.

#2 Buy from a reputable website. The website you choose to buy from is very significant. Only consider purchasing second hand jewellery from a place you trust. Reputable websites that have been selling pre-owned pieces for a long time will have more options to your taste and be more likely to deliver on what they promise.

#3 Skip the debit card. When you want to buy second hand jewelry online, it’s best to stick to credit cards or payment services like Paypal. Debit cards are linked to your bank account, so you’re at much higher risk in the unlikely event that someone is able to hack your information. Credit cards offer more protection and less liability if a card number gets stolen.

A luxury watch tells the world “I made it!” You’ve put in a lot of hard work, and you want people to know it. Good for you! 

There are many fantastic options for men’s watches from top designers that include Cartier, Breitling, and Tag Heuer. One of our absolute favorites is the Cartier Rotonde Chronograph 18k Rose Gold Mens Watch. Of course we have to mention Rolex, because a Rolex is the industry standard for those looking to buy a luxury watch. Sure a Cartier or Breitling may be special, but a Rolex says “Here I am! Look at me and be impressed!” 

Don’t let the men have all the fun! Fine watches, like the Rolex Datejust Midsize 31mm 1.52ct Bezel/Pink Flower Diamond Roman VI Dial Watch and Piaget 9228 23mm Womens Watch, are certainly not only for men. Every wardrobe should include a woman’s watch designed by a top designer whose name carries both style and luxury.

How to Buy a Luxury Watch

You’re ready to buy a luxury watch, but how? It’s such an important decision. You don’t want to make a mistake you end up regretting!

Tip #1 Don’t be intimidated

You deserve this watch. You belong to the elite club of people who own a Rolex, Cartier, or other luxury watch. If you are timid about pulling the trigger and buying the watch of your dreams, you won’t have the shopping experience you otherwise would.

Tip #2 Do your research

There are a lot of luxury watches out there! The only way to really choose the right one for you is to do your research and learn all you can about the industry as well as the top designers. Imagine if someone asks you about your Rolex and you don’t know anything about it! You’ll feel like a phoney, instead of the elite watch owner you want to be.

Tip #3 Buy a pre-owned watch

A pre-owned watch looks just as great, and you’ll save quite a bit of money. A Rolex never loses its splendor, which is part of why they’re so valuable. In fact, you may be able to afford two instead of one if you go this route!

Tip #4 Don’t forget about re-sale

Even if you plan on passing your watch down as an heirloom, keep your options open. We recommend you keep and store the original authentication papers and box. Those will add significant value when reselling.

Buy a Luxury Watch Online

A watch is the ultimate everyday accessory and wearing a luxury watch tells the world that you’ve made it. As you shop our online catalog, you will see that some of these watches are pre-owned but have never been worn. There is literally no difference between these luxury watches and something brand new from a jewelry store, other than how affordable they are!

What a happy guy you are! You are in a relationship with the love of your life, and the only thing left to do is make it official. You want the world to know you’re going to be together forever, which is symbolized by a beautiful engagement ring. But, which one? There are many, many engagement ring options to choose from. Before you decide between a solitaire and multiple diamonds, you have one big decision to make: whether or not you’ll buy a pre-owned ring. Yes, this is an option that is certainly worth considering!

Buy a Pre-Owned Ring

You and your soon-to-be fiance have your entire lives ahead of you. You’ll need to plan a wedding, book your honeymoon, buy a house, grow your family, plan for family vacations, make sure your kids are in good schools, and so much more. Spending an astronomical amount of money on her engagement ring now takes funds away from all of those important future events. That is why it is becoming such a popular idea to buy a pre-owned ring. 

Buying a pre-owned ring is not like buying used shoes. You can tell if someone has worn shoes; you cannot tell if a ring is pre-owned! If jewelry is well cared for, diamonds never lose their splendor, which is part of why they are so valuable. When you look at a few of our favorite options, this will be abundantly clear:

Tiffany & Co Aria Diamond 3 Stone Ring in Platinum

Platinum Round Cut Natural Diamond Bezel Set Wedding Set

Platinum Round Cut Diamond White Gold Wedding

Fine 18K Antique Inspired Round Cut Diamond Three Stone White Gold Ring

Fine 18Kt/14Kt Old European Cut Diamond White Gold Engagement Wedding Set

In fact, as you shop our online catalog you will see that some of these rings are pre-owned but never been worn. There is literally no difference between these rings and something brand new from a jewelry store, other than how affordable they are!

Buy Diamond Engagement Rings Online

This list is far from all of the gorgeous diamond rings you’ll find on our website. We encourage you to spend your time shopping around. You’re sure to find something that jumps out at you and says “I’m perfect!” 

Every woman should have an engagement ring she absolutely adores. You want to present her with something she is proud to show off! These rings will do that, and more. Don’t be afraid to choose a ring just because it has a previous owner. A pre-owned ring might be perfect for you and your partner! Choosing one of these rings takes nothing away from your big proposal and adds to the money you’ll have towards the rest of your life.

Shopping for jewelry is so exciting! Long ago, buying a new necklace, ring, watch, bracelet, or pair of earrings meant going to the jewelry store. Thanks to the internet, you can now shop online and find fabulous pieces of jewelry from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

There’s one small setback to keep in mind when shopping for luxury jewelry online. It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between fashion jewelry or luxury jewelry from pictures alone. 

Buy Luxury Jewelry Online with Confidence

When you shop with us, we don’t want you to ever wonder if you’re buying the real thing. That’s why we want to go over a few things with you, like how to tell luxury jewelry from costume jewelry.

#1 Precious metals and stones. By far, the number one difference between cheap costume jewelry and the luxury pieces you are looking for are the materials they are made with. Costume jewelry is made from plastic, brass, copper, aluminum, glass, and crystals. Also called fashion jewelry, these pieces may also have simulated stones that are nothing like the real thing. Only genuine silver, gold, and platinum are used in luxury jewelry, as are the finest diamonds and other precious stones. If a piece isn’t real gold, it isn’t a real luxury piece- it’s as simple as that!

#2 Designer name brands. When it doubt, go with a top jewelry designer known to create fabulous pieces. You’ll never regret buying a Rolex watch or Tiffany & Co. necklace. Sticking to name brands you already know and love makes it easy to feel confident that you’re buying a high-quality piece. What you’re looking for is a brand name known for fine jewelry that is sought after by people all around the world. A brand like Rolex doesn’t produce costume jewelry! The same can be said for Chanel, Cartier, Gucci, Hermes, and more.

#3 Serial number. Perhaps you are worried that a piece looks like designer jewelry, but is in fact a cheap knock off. That is why many of the top brands have started using serial numbers. Chanel jewelry can be easy to fake. That is why the modern day markings of Chanel fine jewelry include a serial number. Everything you need to know about Chanel serial numbers can be found here in this guide.
