Questions

Jewelry Stores, answered.

Why does my rate matter more than for other shops?

Because of your ticket size. A quarter of a percent on a $6,000 ring is $15 — per sale. Across a year that’s a serious number, and it’s the reason jewelers are worth reviewing carefully.

Can I take a deposit and the balance later?

Yes. Deposits and partial payments handle layaway and custom orders without you carrying the whole cost up front.
