Trustworthy. As a retired attorney, Allison understands your rights as a consumer. When jewelers advertise or sell jewelry, the claims they make about their jewelry must be accurate and non-deceptive, disclosing all material information necessary for you to make an informed decision about your purchase.
The FTC, the nation's consumer protection agency, issues the following consumer alert to avoid unscrupulous jewelers:
When Buying Diamonds: "When you buy a diamond, consider four criteria: cut, color, clarity, and weight, which is usually stated as carats.
Each factor affects the price. Color and clarity typically are 'graded'
on a scale. The most common scales are those established by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)."
As a GIA Diamonds Graduate, Allison is uniquely qualified to arm you with the knowledge you need to purchase diamonds with confidence.
Choosing a Jeweler: "If you're not sure where to go, ask family members, friends, or co-workers for recommendations. When you're unfamiliar with the seller - particularly if you're ordering online - check its reputation with the Better Business Bureau or the state attorney general's office." FTC Consumer Alerts
