We love jewelry and are sure you do too. After all, why else would you be reading this? What we don’t like though is the price of jewelry because let’s face it. Jewelry is never cheap regardless of where you buy it so we can’t help you with that. What we can help you with though is how to save money on jewelry because the majority of you are paying way too much for jewelry. In fact, you could be paying way less if you know what to do. Now, scroll down and let’s get started. We’re excited to teach you how to save money!

Avoid Retail Stores

The first tip we have for you when it comes to saving money on jewelry is to avoid retail stores in general. We’ve noticed that stores like K-Mart and other retail stores typically mark up their jewelry by as much as 300%. Don’t believe us? Buy a piece of jewelry from a retail store, leave the tags on it, and then go try to sell it. Chances are, you won’t even get half of what you paid for it so avoid retail stores. The price markup simply sucks.

Mom and Pop

The next way that you can save money on jewelry is by shopping at local “mom and pop” jewelry stores. They typically have very fair prices and amazing customer service. While we like stores like Zales and Kay’s, we prefer local mom and pop jewelry stores over them just for the price difference and customer service. Not sure which one to check out? Ask some of your friends or family members. They should be able to guide you accordingly.

Order Online

By ordering jewelry online, you should be able to cut out the middle man. By doing this, you’ll save a ton of money. We do have one word of caution though. If you buy from a site like eBay and the savings are tremendous, get it checked out once you receive your item. We’ve bought jewelry online that was real as can be and was much cheaper but we’ve also bought diamonds online that were way cheaper but it turns out it was because they were damaged. Any local jeweler should be able to check them out for you, free of charge.

Buy Used

Finally, the last tip we have for you when it comes to saving money on jewelry is the most obvious one. Buy your jewelry used! Many people get tired of their jewelry over the years and are looking to sell it for prices that are much lower than what it would cost you in the store. Check around and see what everyone has in your area? Need a good place to start? Check in your local paper or on social media groups such as those found on Facebook.

Now, what are you waiting for? It’s time to get out there and save some money on jewelry. The savings are out there but you just have to be willing to grab them!
