Jewelry
Jewelry picks, all in one place: who this category suits, what to double-check before ordering, which part of the QC photos deserves a close look, and the trap newcomers fall for most. Read this page first, then shortlist with confidence.

Good for: Both the alloy and the gram weight appear on the row, rather than vague wording about quality.
Confirm: Stated material and weight before comparing prices.
QC focus: If the seller claims a stamp or a hallmark, that mark ought to appear in the photographs.
Trap: Vague material language at a price implying solid metal.
Knowing what the metal actually is
Listings use terms loosely, so ask directly whether a piece is solid metal, plated, or filled. Plating wears through at contact points within months of daily wear, while solid metal lasts indefinitely and costs several times more. Neither is wrong, but paying solid prices for plated goods is, and photographs genuinely cannot tell you which you are looking at.
Sizing for rings and chains
Ring sizes differ between markets, so convert to millimetres of inner diameter rather than trusting the size number. For chains, length decides where it sits on your chest and width decides how it reads. Measure a chain you already own flat and compare. A ring that cannot be resized is the single most common reason jewellery gets returned.
Shipping high value small items
Small, valuable and easy to lose in transit: jewellery should ship in its own padded envelope or a sealed bag inside the parcel, never loose. Consider whether the shipping lane offers cover for the declared value, because standard freight terms often cap compensation well below what the piece cost. Photograph the unpacking as a matter of routine.
