How To Buy Discount Jewelry

How to buy discount jewelry is a trick every man should know. Sometimes flowers just aren't going to cut it, depending upon the gravity of the mistake or the higher the anniversary. Luck for you, there are many ways to get great jewelry for prices that are actually (gasp!) affordable. 

1. Gilt Groupe and Ideeli. These are fantastic online sites that sell brand name items at ridiculously low prices. You'll mostly find retail prices cut in half or more, making beautiful jewelry affordable. The catch is that the sales are for limited times only and very limited quantities. In short, the good stuff goes fast and nothing is there long.
2. Pawn shops. This may sound a tad sleazy, but think about it. Usually the type of jewelry that ends up here are engagement and wedding rings, family heirlooms, and other classic pieces that need to be sold in a pinch for fast cash. Heartbreak for others equals mega savings for you, the only risk is you may actually overpay if you don't  know what you're looking at.
3. Faux jewelry. Honestly, if you can't tell the difference than neither can she. You know that Louis Vuitton purse she wore out last weekend? Knock-off. There's no reason why you should pay astronomical prices when you can get faux jewelry that looks the same, and where only a skilled jeweler using a microscope could tell the difference.

Buying discount jewelry does require a little creativity and an open mind, but in the end more money in your wallet means less stress on you and more jewelry for her. Win-win!
