Here at Rumanoff’s Fine Jewelry, we’ve had customers ask us why they ought to do their shopping for big-ticket purchases like jewelry over the internet. Why buy online? The answer might be apparent on its face, but there’s some exceptionally good reasons to keep in mind when you’re planning to do some shopping for jewelry. We want to give you a clearer idea of why doing your shopping for a new engagement ring or anniversary present online may be a better choice in some circumstances than coming into a storefront.
Safety in Uncertain Times
This is the big one, and it can’t really be avoided in a contemporary blog post: COVID-19 is something that’s adjusted the way people live their lives, and for many, it’s a topic that’s not going to go away anytime soon. Fortunately, doing online shopping keeps you away from crowds.
The tricky issue is that it can be tough to judge a piece of jewelry online. So much of what we admire about jewelry shopping is being able to feel the heft, size, and appearance of a necklace or bracelet against the skin. Luckily, here at Rumanoff’s Fine Jewelry, we try to do our best to replicate that in-person feeling by utilizing the technology available to us. You can check out any of our pieces to get a 360-degree view of it, as well as learn the details of the piece with our in-depth description on the side. Not only that, our staff can also assist you over the phone or virtually by sending images and videos of pieces you may be interested in for a closer look.
Convenience
This reason dovetails comfortably with the “safety” reasoning: It’s simply more convenient to do your shopping online. We’re jewelry lovers, and we know that a website will never quite replace the élan of browsing through jewelry in person, but there’s also a special something about sitting in your most comfortable spot—whether that spot’s at home or, say, at your favorite coffee shop—and flipping through new fashion rings from TACORI at your leisure.
While big box stores or other popular online retailers sacrifice quality for convenience, we strive for both with a selection of high quality jewelry that can be purchased online. Convenience also comes from the fact that we make it easy at Rumanoff’s Fine Jewelry to make purchases, communicate with our team on issues that have made you curious, or stay up-to-date with the deals and events we hold monthly.
Time
It can be sometimes difficult to make your way to our showroom. If you’re in a remote part of Connecticut, making time to get to Hamden can difficult. Or if your job has hours that puts you outside of ours, making time to browse wedding bands for the big day can be irritating. Fortunately, while our store may have set hours, our website never does.
If you’d planned on doing some comparisons and taking details, you can do it on your own time. We can also add that we have a “recently viewed items” bar at the bottom of our website screen, which means you’ll never lose the pieces at which you’ve been looking!
If you’re still unsure about the pieces that speak to you, feel free to reach out to our expert staff over the phone and they will provide invaluable advice and recommendations.
If Rumanoff’s Fine Jewelry is your local jeweler, and, while our online experience is available 24/7, you can also give us a call to set up an in-person appointment. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can shop online with us, don’t hesitate to call our Hamden, Connecticut showroom at (203)230-1199!
