Designer jewellery and hand bags are growing in popularity. Designer labels, such as Channel and Tiffany & Co., create some of the most expensive and cherished pieces of jewelry in the world. Many of the designers have their own department stores and Internet sites in which the consumer can purchase these often costly fine and costume jewelry.
Many of the designer jewelers create designs with precious metals and gemstones, as well as high quality costume jewelry. The top selling costume jewelers often offer a life time guarantee for all metals and stones used in their designs. Designer jewelry can be quite pricey at times but in the end, is well worth the money.
Knock offs are getting harder and harder to spot. For many years, designers have developed their own way of labeling or marking their product for identification. Now days, many of the knock offs have the same as the originals, only slightly different. Sometimes it can just be a stitch that is misplaced that can be a clue that it is an impostor.
There are a few things that need to be considered when looking for designer jewelry. The fact that the knock offs are very similar in appearance means the consumer must know more of what to look for.
1. Do the research. Most designers have a certain way of labeling their products, whether it is a necklace or a handbag. These labels are tale tale marks that it is a true designer, not a knock off. Even a slight imperfection can mean it is a fake so attention to detail is often required.
2. Buy from the designer's store or website. This is a reassurance that the articles of interest are the designer's creations. Some web sites will show the picture of the designer's product, but in reality, it is not what is received. It is often difficult to purchase designer jewelry on line because flaws in the gems used can't be seen very clearly.
3. Check the gems. Many of the knock offs will substitute imperfect stones for the clear, brilliant stones used by the top designers. This can greatly affect the value of the piece.
4. Talk to others. Find a chat room or forum to talk to people looking to buy designer jewelry or those that have. They can share information that can help make the decision as to purchase the piece or not. They can shed light on jewelry makers that are known for knock offs and where to find the real thing.
One important thing to remember when looking to buy designer jewelry, what you pay for is usually what you get. It is very tempting to purchase designer creations at a fraction of the original price. This can often lead to the buying of knock off jewelry, handbags and other apparel.
