Where to Locate Jewelry Watches

By Reuben Riggs


So you have decided that it is time for your watch to be special. There are different ways to do this. You can design your own watch or you can purchase one of the many jewelry watches that have become so popular. There are two types of jewelry watches. The first is your standard wrist watch that has been dressed up to look like a piece of jewelry. The second kind is a piece of jewelry that has a working time piece in it. The internet is the best place to look when you want to find one of these watches but don't want to pay a lot of money for it.

Decide which types of jewelry watches interest you the most and look for pictures of those.

One of the easiest places to find images is on the internet. Books at your local library may also contain some good options. Begin searching for images at the library if you are interested in antique or vintage pieces. To help you decide what style and size you might be interested in, a good place to look are in jewelry books or collector's guidebooks. You might even try looking through different magazines to get a feel for what is popular right now in terms of timepieces and jewelry. You should look through Etsy.com if you want a piece that is truly unique and one of a kind. Etsy.com is a sales portal for individual artists and individual jewelers to sell the work they do. You will find only vintage or hand crafted pieces on this website. This is a great place to find jewelry watches that are not mass produced and that are not usually outrageously expensive. Buyers can find unique art through sites like Etsy for a little bit more than it cost the artist to make the product. Obviously it is a good idea to spend some time searching through the site. Don't buy the very first watch you find!

Check out online retailers to see if you might be able to get an online discount. High end jewelry stores will often offer discounts to online purchases, for the same pieces you can find online.

The current market value of any precious stones and materials that you want in your watch will change the value, so make sure and do some research. That research will be more important if you are looking for an expensive jewelry watch. For instance, knowing the price of different carats of diamonds will protect you from the jeweler who is trying to rip you off. Knowing the cost of these materials will help you determine what markup to expect.

The last decision to make before you start to shop is what is your budget? Not setting a budget can make for a bad shopping experience. Before you leave the house or hop online, make sure to set your budget. A watch made from diamonds or precious stones will obviously require more of a budget than those that are simple time pieces. It is always tempting to spend more once in the store, so a budget helps you to avoid that. If a salesperson knows that you haven't set a budget they will show you the higher priced items first. Every wardrobe would be well served with a jewelry watch. These watches are a great way to put a new spin on a tired accessory. There are some people who won't wear timepieces at all because they do not like the way they feel on their wrists or because it clashes with what they are wearing. Thanks to accessories like jewelry watches you won't have to worry about that. You will have a watch that blends in and you'll have a time piece that helps you keep to your schedule.
