The Links below are here to help you to understand what everyone that sells jewelry to the public is suppose to inform "YOU" the buyer about your purchase.
This includes, Retail and online sellers.

These are not my rules, they are the Federal Trade Commission, (FTC).

These links cover the following FTC Rules:
Disclosure Rules, Deception, Fraud, Mis-Use of Terms, Misleading,
Misrepressentation, The use of Quality Marks, Disclosures, etc.

Sadly, many sellers do not provide this information about the items they are selling.
You, as a Jewelry Consumer, should be given this information before purchasing a piece of jewelry, so you know what you are buying.
