Buying jewelry is an experience that should be anticipated and enjoyed, but it’s not necessarily easy. Doing your ‘jewelry stores near me’ search, deciding which of those stores to shop at and then driving to them to do your due diligence and compare the products and services offered can be exhausting and even overwhelming. Undoubtedly, those are some of the reasons why online jewelry platforms for fine jewelry have become so popular. But there are other even more important reasons…

No Crowds

When you’re shopping at a bricks and mortar store, looking at the merchandise, getting assistance and even paying for your purchase can all become a nuisance if there are too many other shoppers at that store at the same time, especially during the holidays. Even parking becomes an issue. All of this goes away when you shop online. Plus, you don’t have to wait for opening hours. With online platforms, you can visit, browse, and order whenever it’s convenient for you.

Options Galore but Without the Confusion

Most bricks and mortar jewelry shops have a limited inventory and array of jewelry from which to choose. Online jewelry platforms, on the other hand, can have tens of thousands of different designs to choose from, but with the best online jewelry platforms, finding the piece you want even with that large variety is made easy because of all the options for refining your search. For example, do you want vintage style? No problem, search only on vintage styles. Do you want a princess cut gemstone? Sure. Refine your search for only jewelry pieces with a princess cut stone. Do you want a specific weight or length or width? Cool. You can specify that in your search too. With best online jewelry platforms, you have the variety of pieces, but also the ability to narrow in on your specific tastes and preferences with just a few clicks of a button.

Customization

The biggest advantage of shopping for fine jewelry at online jewelry platforms, however, is the option they can give you to have your jewelry custom made. The best online platforms can cater to your specific tastes so you end up with a one-of-a-kind, uniquely yours and uniquely you piece of jewelry. With these platforms, you can modify existing designs or start with your own vision. You can choose the style you want as well as pick the type and cut of your gemstone or gemstones. Or you can use gemstones you already have in your possession. You can also choose the metal or metals you want as well as the metal colors and the finish including whether you want it engraved. If your jewelry piece will have precious stones, you can choose the setting. You have every option available to you to make your jewelry beautiful and a one-of-a-kind piece. You can even specify a budget so that you can get a beautiful jewelry piece without breaking the bank. The beautiful bee brooch you see below is a stunning example of a custom-designed and produced organic jewelry piece that went from customer vision to sketch to finish.

The customer that wanted this brooch originally saw another brooch in a photo and wanted one similar to the brooch that was in the photo, but with a more realistic head. The final piece made by Jewelrythis features patterned wings in white gold, a body and head as well as the legs in yellow gold, and ruby cabochons for the eyes.
