Pure
Pearls
90-Day unconditional guarantee is refreshing and the content of this
site was obviously written by native English speakers ... inspires confidence. |
SW
Creations
A large site with many beaded items. Toll-free number is prominent but
was not able to locate street address and policy page. |
All
Celtic Jewellery
Some very beautiful jewelry here, straight from Dublin. U.S. prices
are clearly posted and shipping to U.S. is no problem. |
Diamonds
Gemstones Jewelry
An aggregator site, organizing links of the various jewelry sites on
the Web. About Us information is surprisingly present on this site. |
Belirams
Incrediblly artistic sterling and gold in the Indian tradition. In business
since 1950. A great source for high-karat gold. |
Niknak
Group
Many offerings here, and all you'd expect from a larger website to instill
confidence. |
Medalye
Designs
Simple website for simple items. PayPal is the only form of payment,
no phone number is listed, although a street address in Canada is welcome.
Prices are in U.S. dollars. |

Ron has actually done engravings for Pope John Paul II and ... Oprah!
What else can be said? |
Clearpath
Overseas
Wholesaler. Contact us page lacks address or phone, but includes a web-based
e-mail form. About Us page tells us they are located in New Delhi and that
they practice Karma's theory in their business policy. Good for them! |
Skystone
and Silver
It's always very cool to come across a website by and for one artisan.
No monkey business, no "Gee, I wonder who these people are" or
"Should I trust this website?" It's immediately obvious that Rick
is a real person and his items are come from his own hand. |
Ameriglobe
Many businesses think they're pulling a fast one on the public by calling
themselves "wholesale" when in fact they are not, hoping their
customers will think they lucked out in accessing a wholesaler. But Ameriglobe
is what it advertises ... wholesale prices, minimum order amount, re-seller
license required for no-tax sales. |
14K
Zone
Easy to navigate, large number of categories. Self-described number
one specialist in personalized jewelry. |
A1
Custom Jewelry
Website looks bad on high-resolution monitor but it's easy to give these
guys some slack because they are located in the Pacific Wonderland of western
Oregon! |
Sterling
Silver Jewelry Connection
Nice looking merchandise, and simple, easy-to-navigate design. Site
lacks About Us information. |
Adara's
Simple and slick site design belies deep merchandise selection. Prices of
rings are not available until you've told the site your ring size. FAQ's
are related to another website, presumably owned by the some company.
|
Arte
Designs
Why is it that the smaller the company the more likely they are to put About
Us information? Arte Designs is small and, yes, we see photos of the people
who will be obtaining our banking information should we commit a purchase.

Autumn
Gallery
Beautifully designed website uses cookies. About Us information is thankfully
present but, although it refers to "we" there is no information
about who the "we" is. |
Buy
Diamond Earrings
Nice design, About Us information isn't really. Ads by Google. Interesting
information about how to tell CZ's from diamonds, but what isn't mentioned
is why you may want to purchase a CZ anyway. |
Buy
Silver Jewelry
Same site design as Buy Diamond Earrings, probably the same owner.
|
Crown
Jewelers
It's just like walking into a mall jewelry store, complete with credit application
and eight pages of specials. No phone number listed on website, although
this can easily be obtained via their street address. |
Daphna
A true artist, Daphna is an Israeli jeweler with a touch of the Victorian.
One-of-a-kind. |
Goldenmine
Pretty impressive. They are apparently located at the L.A. jewelry mart
and actually list their phone number (imagine that)! Nice site design. Checkout
requires registration. |
Eclectic
Earrings
About Us refers to "we" but names no names. Handmade, beaded
jewelry here. |
E
Diamond Earrings
Same site design as Buy Diamond Earrings, so possibly the same owner.
|
God
Bless America
Par of proceeds go to United Way's Special Fund (presumably, this is the
one set up after 9/11). Checkout requires a company name, secure web pages
don't kick in until credit card information is prompted. Dead link on navigation
bar. |
Happy
Glass Fraternal
Masonic and Eastern Star goodies. Music catches the web surfer by surprise.
|
Horn's
Jewelry
Family owned business in California's spectacular Trinity Alps. Background
image confuses the surfer with a high-resolution monitor. |

FAQ's refer customer's to the Contact Us page for mailing address, but
none is shown. Store hours are posted here but no phone number. |

15-day return policy. Was not able to locate a mailing address on the

No shopping cart here, so payment is by money order or PayPal. Site uses
frames. No address or phone number to be found, although a click on the
"check out my Ebay auctidons" link revealed a location in Kentucky.
