\"How<\/div>\n

Here’s a secret you may not know:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nJewelers love to wheel and deal on jewelry.<\/p>\n

Really? Yes! They do!<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s the thrill of the sale. It’s in their blood.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s why they’re always trying to lure you through the doors with incredible 50% off sales and awesome jewelry contests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They love to bargain!<\/h2>\n

\nAll salespeople do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBut, before I go on, I should point out that not all jewelers deal<\/strong>. Most mall jewelry stores and larger corporate jewelers can’t touch the predetermined prices<\/strong>. Their corporate headquarters usually set the prices and that’s all the stores are authorized to sell them for<\/strong>. These types of stores are very hard to wheel and deal with.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to get the lowest prices:<\/h2>\n

\nFind yourself an independent jeweler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIndependent jewelers are usually in the unique position to barter on price<\/strong>. Independent jewelers and mom and pop stores<\/strong> buy the diamonds and jewelry themselves. They know what they paid for it, what the cost is, and what they can afford to sell it for.<\/p>\n

You can actually make a deal with the boss.<\/h2>\n

\nIndependent jewelers are normally more hungry for a sale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThey need to turn their inventory over quickly just to keep the bills paid and vendors happy<\/strong>. This is good for the customer, because jewelers will do what it takes to close a sale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They don’t want anyone to walk.<\/h2>\n

\nIf you’re truly interested in a piece of jewelry, they’ll find a way to make it happen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nWhether it’s knocking another 5 or 10% off the price<\/strong>, or throwing in the tax<\/strong>. Some will throw in labor costs involved with the sizing and setting fees. Some will throw in guarantees and jewelry service plans<\/strong>. They will sweeten the pot and make that deal.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen jewelers sell things below cost before!<\/h2>\n

\nI know it’s crazy, but if it’s a diamond ring that’s been in the showcase for years<\/strong>, believe me, they’re going to want to let it go for whatever they can get.<\/p>\n

How can you get a good deal?<\/h2>\n

\nSo what can you do to guarantee the lowest prices on the market? Put your money where your mouth is…<\/strong><\/p>\n

PAY CASH!<\/h2>\n

\nBring greenbacks. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Money talks.<\/h2>\n

\nTell them you’ll pay them cash right here, right now (so they won’t have to finance it<\/strong> or pay credit card processing fees<\/strong>), and offer them a grand less than what they offered you.<\/p>\n

\nMost jewelers will hesitate, but take the deal<\/strong>. They may want to barter back and forth a bit, but if you pull out cash and start counting<\/strong>, there’s a good chance the jeweler will cave and say “OKAY!<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\nJust be warned, that if you put the deal on the line, and the jeweler accepts it, you better be prepared to purchase it<\/strong>. There’s no turning back now.<\/p>\n

And please do offer a fair price…<\/h2>\n

\nDon’t try to screw the jeweler<\/strong>, because they’ll just laugh you out the door.<\/p>\n

\nMake it reasonable <\/strong>and the temptation will be too much.<\/p>\n

\nSo if you want to save money, bring cash-CASH.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThat way, you’ll always end up getting the lowest prices on jewelry<\/strong>, and that’s the best deal<\/strong> ever!<\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
