Things You'll Need:
- Internet Access
- Computers
-
Step 1
Familiarize yourself with how to measure quality in gold, diamonds or other items you may wish to purchase. Know the difference between carats and karats.
-
Step 2
Enter the word "jewelry" in a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. If desired, enter more specific words such as "rings," "diamonds" or "gold."
-
Step 3
Browse sites for information. Some sites offer jewelry made by known manufacturers while others have their own jewelers that make the pieces for sale.
-
Step 4
Read information on guarantees, secure ordering and returns. A piece of jewelry is a major investment, and you want to be sure your purchase is guaranteed and that your purchase price can be refunded if you want to return the item.
-
Step 5
Check to see if certificates are given, particularly for diamonds.
-
Step 6
If you are confident that the site is secure and reputable, browse the categories ("diamonds," "gold," "watches," "rings," and so on) or do a site search using the key word or words of the item you are looking for ("gold watch," "diamond ring," and so on).
-
Step 7
If you find a piece that interests you, you may have to click its image to make it larger so you can get a better look. While this is not necessarily a good substitute for seeing the piece in person, it will give you a pretty good idea of what the piece looks like.
-
Step 8
When you order, pay special attention to sizes and other options offered. (For example, do you want the diamond set in a yellow gold or white gold band?)

on 11/5/2009 Thank for the article, very helpful information! I'll definitly go to a jewelry store before buying online, everything in the pictures just look so big. I looked at these sites but they don't have what I'm looking for. Anyone ever heard of http://www.diamond-republic.com ? They seem interesting but I never purchased online before
