Holiday & Christmas Jewelry Shopping Tips from Zales

The right timing can make the most of your holiday deals.

Holiday Jewelry Shopping Tips: Sales

On Black Friday, be prepared:

Sign up for emails and newsletters at least a few weeks ahead of time
Research and pre-shop when the store is quieter, so you get in and out on sale day with minimal hassle
Always have a back-up plan in case you can't get the price or piece you wanted
Make sure you know the sale dates and times, and get there as soon as the doors open

On Cyber Monday, be security-and-savings-savvy:

Only shop on secure sites; look for https:// in the address bar.
Beware online stores and brands you're not familiar with
Read the fine print, see if free shipping is offered and what the return policy is
Do an online search to see if coupon codes are available, before finalizing your buy

More Christmas Jewelry Shopping Tips

Avoid the sales-day craze:

Plan in advance for the holidays — there are always special sales throughout the summer and fall
Sign up for emails and newsletters from your favorite jewelry retailers to stay informed about special deals
Remember, weekday shopping is quieter, perfect for talking with salespeople, looking around and even trying things on ahead of time

Take the time to personalize:

Initials, meaningful dates and messages are extra-thoughtful touches for gifts
You'll need at least 10 business days to order engraved jewelry, sometimes longer
Ask retailers if engraving time is longer around the holidays, and plan for that
