Frequently Asked Questions

You'll find answers to some common questions below, but drop us a line if we missed something!

You can expect to be wow’d. Not bragging, but we hear it all the time.

You can expect to sit down and spend time with one of our easygoing jewelry consultants on your terms and in the convenient location of your store, showroom, or home. You can expect a zero-pressure “show and tell” experience where you’ll not only get to look at beautiful pieces of jewelry, but to touch and feel it, talk about it, and ask questions before you choose to buy anything.

You’ll have the opportunity to build a relationship with your jewelry consultant in a laid-back atmosphere without the hassle and time spent having to travel to a show or be bombarded with “buy this, buy this!” pressure and competition for your attention.

See something you like? It’s yours. Not feeling it? No worries, ask to see something else. You can purchase any items presented to you on the spot—cash, check, credit card—whatever works best for you.

We have made some items available in our online store, but only a minimal amount and primarily a small selection of our standard items from budget-conscious lines which are more basic, lighter, and easier to ship.

When you book a show with a jewelry consultant, you’ll have first-hand access to our custom, high-end, unique pieces. We want to give you the power—the ability to see, touch, and hold the items that speak to you; and from there, purchase what you’d like.

It’s simple. This site isn't here to provide to the general public. We work solely with established retail shops and individuals, and by submitting an application we can confirm you’re qualified to have access to our product.

We want to provide you with access to our products, team, and support you in your jewelry business.

In this particular import jewelry business, we’ve been presenting clients with high quality jewelry for just about 10 years. Within that time, we’ve evolved—grown larger, established bigger lines, and have gone from following to creating trends. 

More recently, our focus has become clearer that we want to continue doing this for you, our stores. 

Hold up. We don’t like to use the word rep. To us, that carries a negative connotation of someone coming to see you with the intent of selling something.

We do have jewelry consultants that cover roughly 95% of the United States, and also into Canada. To reach someone in your area, all you need to do is apply, or send a quick message, and a local consultant will get in touch with you.   

You sure can! Our products are available a select retail locations across the country.

Currently, we have just over 300 high end precious and semiprecious stones and gems; all based on availability depending on which mines are open. Covid-19 impacted which mines have reopened, and what’s available to market at this time.

We offer many different pieces—rings, pendants, earrings (dangles and studs)—and have various options for formats including faceted, cabachon, slices, and settings from simple to ornate. You name it, we can do it.  

95% of our stones are certified “All-Natural Origin” by Gem Testing Laboratories, one of the most prominent, high-end certification services in Jaipur, India. We work diligently in making sure our offerings are authentic and that everything is certified so that when we come to visit you in your store, look you in the eye, and work with you directly, that you can know with utmost confidence that you’re getting what you pay for.

For all of us here at Nugent Jewelry, it’s all about our relationship with you. And we mean it for the long game; so, it doesn’t serve our purposes unless we’re mutually building partnerships with you on honesty and integrity.

We offer a proprietary blend of USA supplied, fine recycled or fresh 92.5 sterling silver. Our cadmium-free blend includes a mix of alloys at specific percentages to increase the anti-tarnishing properties within the silver itself—not just a coating, cover, or dip. We don't use a lot of copper like you often see in sterling silver jewelry. 

Not only do we make our blend of silver in house, but we also test it using a specialized laser machine which determines the elements of the composition and ensures that the end result is at least 92.5 sterling silver (some of our pieces actually come out 94%).

We use this same blend in our 18k vermeil gold.

We sure do. We’re always keeping our budget-conscious buyers in mind, in fact it’s quite a dominant market for us. Our approach is to always make sure our pieces are high quality. We do this by cutting down the stone size and weight. Budget-conscious pieces still have the same anti-tarnish silver, but just a little less of it which makes the overall weight a little lighter. All of our pieces are strong, sturdy, and solid. 

You bet. No smoke and mirrors here. Our integrity for establishing relationships with our clients is for the long haul. We want you to be wow’d. But we want that enthusiasm to be real—so why would we start off with a digitally altered photograph?! 

There’s enough dishonesty and distrust in the world already. Don't even get us started on AI...Things we want you to be able to rely on with Nugent Jewelry: our products are superior; our quality and reputation are legit.

Want to see in person for yourself? Apply now! Let us come to you, and we'll show you exactly what our photographers are taking pictures of—same grade, same quality, right out of the case.

Nope. But we'll happily bring the show to your store. Schedule an appointment with a jewelry consultant and see our jewelry in-person at your convenience. 

Or, shop virtually in real time with your consultant or with Nugent LIVE right from our headquarters to your phone or computer screen.

The care and attention to detail in my first order was apparent. From the moment I opened the box, an incredible experience began. Beautifully packaged! Countless resources provided to help retailers. And a strong sense of community that I felt instantly connected to are just some of the benefits of doing business with Nugent. Plus, the jewelry is exquisite!!!
