Think about taking your time when buying jewelry, trying not to purchase every new trend that comes along, metals, that wont last or pieces that are really too big or too small for your individual look. Better to find a few staple pieces you can wear today and always! Here are some tips on how to be smart dealing with or buying new jewelry!

#1 Create an Inventory 

Take photos of all your jewelry. Record identifying information about you valuable pieces. Make sure you can easily put your hand on appraisals or receipts.

#2 Get Appraisals 

And speaking of appraisals… a 10 year old appraisal may not reflect the current (and higher!) market value of your favorite necklace, ring, or watch. Let David Craig Jewelers help you protect the value of your investments with an up to date appraisal that proves ownership, provides a replacement estimate and identifies exact value for charitable contribution. We can also offer insurance tips if you haven’t already insured your favorite pieces.

#3 Shop Sustainable

Adding to your collection? Why not consider vintage, antique, or estate jewelry? These preciously loved pieces look like new, have been carefully tended and should last for decades to come.

#4 Take Care of your Jewelry 

When preparing your inventory, take some extra time to check clasps and prongs of your lovely pieces. Better yet, bring your jewelry in for us to examine it for you. We offer complimentary cleaning and inspection. And don’t forget to store fine jewelry in separate pouches to prevent scratches.

#5 Treat Yourself 

Invest in classic, everyday jewelry like a stunning diamond necklace, diamond stud earrings, or gold hoop earrings. Fine jewelry in precious metals goes with everything and can accompany every look.
