How to Rent Jewelry for Work

Maybe you've noticed that everyone at the office has cool, classy, expensive-looking jewelry. Women wear Vera Wang necklaces to important meetings and dangling Gucci earrings to client dinners. Meanwhile, you're stuck with the same silver posts you've worn since high school. Good news: Thanks to some savvy businesspeople, you can rent jewelry in much the same way you'd rent a movie or a check out a library book.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Research companies that rent jewelry for work.

2. Look through the websites' catalogs to see if the available jewelry fits your style and budget. Some sites focus on fun costume jewelry, while others offer high-end pieces from designers like Chanel and David Yurman.

3. Read the membership rules very carefully. Jewelry-rental companies work in much the same way as DVD-rental companies. You pay a monthly fee and are allowed to borrow a certain number of items, with the understanding that you won't receive more jewelry until you send back the previous loans. Most jewelry-rental companies offer several rate plans. The higher the rate, the higher-end the jewelry.

4. Request that the jewelry be sent to a secure address. Use your home address, not a P.O. box or work address. Typically, you 're responsible for paying the replacement cost if the jewelry goes missing.

5. Take care of the borrowed jewelry as if it were your own. That way, you won't get stuck paying any repair fees.

6. Have fun wearing the jewelry to work. Your seemingly endless collection of beautiful baubles will make you the talk of the office.

on 10/7/2007 2 other webpages I would check out are www.bagborroworsteal.com for their selection and www.blingyourself.com for their trendy jewelry. Both companies rent real jewelry that retails somewhere between 300 to 5000 and up for an afford rental fee. Sam, just a quick tip, you would be better of buying the jewelry at imoveritonline.com since you pay 30 bucks to rent it but they sell the same jewelry for 10 to 30 dollars. I would check it out...

on 9/28/2007 I'm actually a member of I'm Over It and I love it! I tire easily of jewelry so this is perfect for me. The memberships are low and the service is great!
