Welcome to the First Edition of the MJSA Retail LinkAs a retailer, your most valuable assets are your customers, your reputation, and your inventory. The MJSA Retail Link can help you with each of these.

You need suppliers you can trust, so that you can provide your customers with the quality, delivery, and service they’ve come to expect from your store. On the following pages you’ll find suppliers who’ll meet this requirement and more. All are members of MJSA, the trade association dedicated to professional excellence in jewelry making and design. MJSA mem-ber companies agree to abide by our rigorous Code of Ethics (see pages 6-7). That means you can be confident that every business deal will be handled fairly and honorably.

You also need the latest and best new products and promotional support to draw traffic into your store. Once again, MJSA members will be there for you: They are not only great sources of new products, but also consum-mate partners who can help your store to profit in a competitive market.

As you page through the Retail Link, you’ll find jewelry of all types and styles—bridal designs, fashion rings, bracelets and bangles, earrings and neckwear. You’ll also find information you need to make informed choices. How much can a design be customized to meet the needs of your customers who want it their way? When you make a purchase, how long will delivery take? What type of return policy is available? And are there any specific details about a piece that will help to close sales?

Most important, you’ll find a wealth of partners who will help you to drive sales and exceed your customers’ expectations.

Please enjoy this complimentary copy of the MJSA Retail Link. To learn more about how MJSA can help retail jewelers not only source needed jewelry, but also find new sources of profit through custom design and repair, see page 50. u

8 Spring 2015

When buying finished jewelry, components, or gemstones, you

want to be certain you’re getting the quality your customers

expect. The checklist below will help you to ensure that every

purchase meets your standards.

BeAdS: Is the bead work clean and each bead well-defined? Is bright

cutting straight, smooth, crisp, and bright?

chAinS: Is the chain strong enough for the purpose? Are all links

intact? (Breaks usually are the result of poor crystallization or insuf-

ficient solder.) Are links twisted? All links should be evenly attached

and the chain should lie flat.

cLASPS: Do they match the piece in color, texture, and design? Does

the clasp open, snap, and stay closed? Does the tongue fit properly

into the box? Is there insufficient solder connecting the clasp to

the jewelry?

connecting RingS: Are they secure and sturdy enough?

eARRing PoStS/BAckS: Are any posts bent? Are they the proper

thickness? If threaded, has the thread been stripped or otherwise

damaged? Does the back fit tightly?

FiniSh: Is the item well-polished in all areas? Look for uneven,

rough, flat, or scaly surfaces. Have all nicks or file and tool marks

been removed? Is the piece free of porosity? If it has a special finish,

is it uniform and unmarred? Has any tarnish been removed?

FLAShing: Has the mounting been cleaned after casting to com-

pletely remove any metal that is not inherent to the design?

geMStone cLARity: Under 10x magnification, look for bubbles,

cracks, and inclusions, including dangerous feathers (breaks that

reach the surface) that can make the stone vulnerable to breakage.

Check facet edges, table, and planes for chips, cracks, and scratches.

geMStone cut: A round or brilliant cut diamond should have a

truly circular girdle outline. Other cuts should be symmetrical. All

should have the right proportions. An extremely thick girdle is dis-

tracting to the eye, adds unnecessary weight, and can cause setting

and security problems. A too-thin girdle is susceptible to damage.

Does the diamond have the proper number of facets for the cut?

An extra facet will affect appearance and symmetry. So will a too-

large natural (a portion of a diamond’s original surface sometimes

left on the girdle to indicate maximum yield was obtained).

A poor cut in a colored gemstone can result in dark spots (too

deep and narrow) or washed-out areas (too shallow and wide).

You’re more likely to notice if you look at several similar stones next

to each other.

gLue: Glue should not be visible on metal or the gemstone or

pearl. Also, is the bond intact?

Mounting: Is it free of cracks? If a piece is supposed to be square,

is it? If it’s supposed to be symmetrical, is it?

PLAting: Inspect the surface under 10x magnification. It should

be smooth, uniform, and free of spots or matting. If 200x magnifi-

cation is available, check for micro-cracks (they’ll look like dried

mud), voids, inclusions, or other flaws. Their presence indicates the

plating process was faulty and the metal likely will wear off more

quickly than it should. If buying large quantities of plated jewelry,

you may want to check the thickness by sending samples out for

analysis under X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Otherwise, ask the

Quality check Purchasing finished jewelry that meets your standards

Spring 2015 9

plating company to give you the thickness. If it doesn’t know, you

may not be getting what you paid for.

PRongS: Are prongs in full contact with stone(s)? Are they uni-

formly spaced and thick enough to hold the stone securely? Have

all sharp edges or corners been smoothed? Do the prongs cover too

much or too little of the stone? (Prongs should never exceed 75

percent of the height of the stone and should not cover more than

50 percent of the crown angle.)

Also note whether any prongs are missing, bent, cracked, or bro-

ken. Breaks usually occur at the seat or lower, and can be attributed

to poor crystallization, the use of excessive force when they were

bent, or over-cutting. When a seat is cut, no more than one-third to

one-half of a prong’s thickness should be removed. In addition, the

height of each seat should be uniform.

QuALity MARkS/tRAdeMARkS: Are the marks stamped correctly?

If a piece has been stamped with a quality mark, does it also contain

a trademark?

RivetS: Do they show? Are they sufficient in size for their purpose,

or are they thicker than necessary?

SettingS: Are all stones tight within the setting? If in a channel,

are stones aligned properly? Do they touch or overlap?

ShAnk: Is it round and symmetrical? Is it thick enough to withstand

the stress of wear?

SoLdeR: Does solder show? Are there gaps in the solder flow? Does

the color match the piece? Has any tarnish been removed? u
