Romano's Jewelers

When you're in the market for a piece of jewelry for yourself or someone you love shop around. Compare quality price and service. If you're not familiar with any jewelers in your area ask family members friends and co-workers for recommendations. You also should ask for the store's refund and return policy before you buy; check for the appropriate markings on metal jewelry such as 14K or 10K. Ask whether a gemstone is natural laboratory-created imitation or if it's been treated. ~~Make sure the jeweler writes on the sales receipt any information you relied on when making your purchase such as the gem's weight or size. Some jewelers also may supply a grading report from a gemological laboratory. ~~If you have a problem with the jewelry you purchased first try to resolve it with the jeweler. If you are dissatisfied with the response contact your local Better Business Bureau or local consumer protection agency. You also may contact the Jewelers Vigilance Committee's Alternative Dispute Resolution Service. This program assists consumers and businesses in resolving disputes about jewelry. The Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC) is an independent non-profit organization formed to advance ethical practices in the jewelry industry. You may contact the JVC by mail: 25 West 45th Street Suite 400 New York NY 10036-4902 or by phone: 212-997-2002.~~~~~
