E-commerce shops and online marketplaces have changed the way we shop. Before, shopping meant hours-long browsing, sorting through store displays and waiting in long queues to get your purchase. Now, thanks to the internet, we get to find, and buy, virtually everything— from fashion picks, household items, gadgets and, yes, even fine jewelry. 

Jewelries are investment pieces, and, with many online shops claiming to offer the real deal at low prices, one has to be extra careful before hitting the checkout button. Here are a few tips when purchasing fine jewelry online: 

PURCHASE FROM WELL-KNOWN & ESTABLISHED BRANDS

A reputable jeweller that you can trust is worth their weight in gold. Purchasing from a jeweller with in-house graduate gemologists consistently adhering to best practices and ethically offering up-to-date services to their valued customers, is the most ideal scenario you want to be in. 

Ocampo's Fine Jewellery features pieces that are Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Gemological Laboratories (IGL), and Japan Gem Grading System certified and guarantees that all jewelries are made with specially inspected and selected metals and gemstones, ensuring lasting quality and brilliance. 

CHOOSE SHOPS WITH A WIDE ARRAY OF CLASSIC & TIMELESS PIECES

Narrow down your options to a shop that offers a wide range of carefully curated collections with expert craftsmanship with every type of personality, taste, preference and every occasion in mind. Countless choices for jewelries can be daunting–from yellow gold and white gold to platinum, from brilliant-cut diamonds to birthstones of every colour, all the way to different items such as rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings–the key is to distinguish the overall aesthetic you are going for. 

Make sure to carefully inspect on your chosen item’s detailed information about each piece for reference on materials used (stones, carat, and certifications) and of course, on exact product dimensions (height, width, length, diameter) so you can visualise in your mind how it would look like as you wear it. For instance, in purchasing a ring, do make sure to check out the guide on measuring your actual ring size and tally it against the size chart, to avoid buying the wrong size. 

All our items are genuine! We also feature pieces that are GIA, IGL, and Japan Gem Grading System certified.

BE INFORMED OF THE SHOP’S POLICIES AND AFTER-SALES SERVICES 

While it is common knowledge that most people skip through Terms and Conditions, we strongly suggest giving extra of your time to have a thorough read of store policies, especially for purchasing luxury items online—as this way, confusion and complications between the store and their valued customer can entirely be avoided.

Get the maximum value for your money by being informed of the store’s after-sales care and availing of signature value-adding services, such as consultations, made-to-order services, after-care checkups, lifetime-cleaning and repairs, engraving, resizing, and easy return policies to name a few.

We issue receipts for sold products. You may also request for a store certificate for your diamond jewelry purchase and you can pick it up at any of our stores.
