Before you buy: the checklist
- Favour listings that specify materials precisely: "14K solid gold" not just "gold," "925 sterling silver" not just "silver.".

- Favour listings that show real photos of jewelry on a model and against a clean background.
- Favour listings that show close-up details of craftsmanship, clasps, and gemstone settings.
