Choosing a jeweler

At least 3 things you should consider when you choose a jeweler:
1. Knowledgeable, a jeweler should have gemological credentials at least be able to detect synthetic stones.
2. Are they candid and ethical? Do they explain quality and tretment in clear language not just rely on trade euphemisms and marketing term.
3. They should have a love for gems and jewelry. Jewelers who only care about price and benefit are not likely to have artistic designs.
