Begin your wedding ring search
with jewelers you know and trust
If you're not familiar with a jew-
eler, ask for referrals from friends
or family or look for one who is
a member of the American Gem
Society, a non-profit professional
trade association of fine jewelers
and jewelry suppliers.
A reputable jeweler should be
able to tell you the four Cs — cut,
clarity, color and carat weight —
of any diamond he carries, as well
as point out the finer points of any
other gemstones in which you're
interested.
A reputable merchant should
not pressure you to buy, should let
you get the ring appraised, and
have a return policy. ❑
