• Why is purchasing a necklace online a better option than getting it from a brick and mortar store in 2024?

  Save money without reducing quality: Traditional retailers face the costs of renting, staffing, and maintaining a storefront. Online retailers do not have to make the same markups and can pass the savings on to customers.
  A Larger choice of necklaces: Visiting several stores in person to look at a small selection of necklaces would be longer than browsing hundreds of necklace styles online.
  Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: When buying a necklace online, customers can save a lot of time and money. There's no need to worry about going from one jeweler to the next without knowing if you'll find what you're expecting.

• Virtual shopping experience:

  By booking a Zoom or Facetime meeting, you can shop virtually from the comfort of your own home or office at any time of day, selecting the right necklace from a most extensive choice.
  You'll get your selection the next day. Depending on the merchant you choose, your purchase will be risk-free, shipping will be free, and it will be easy to send the item back.

• Return policy

  Before buying online, make sure the seller offers: risk-free purchase; certificates; free shipping and returns
