About

The JewelFinder Network (Jewelfinder.net) was born out of frustration with big, online shopping comparison sites. Those online supersites are great for comparing prices on a new microwave oven, but when it comes to jewelry they fal painfully short – returning poorly-targeted results, irrellevant merchandise, and very often the same items from the same 2-3 merchants … over and over and over again.

In addition to being a veteran web developer and general internet geek, I’m a long time jewelry enthusiast, and an alumni of the Gemological Institure of America (GIA). So I did what any geeky jewelry lover would do – I started my own search network!

Created by a jewelry lover FOR jewelry lovers, the heart of JewelFinder.net is our jewelry search engine which searches entire product catalogs from a growing number of popular online jewelry merchants. These merchants include shopping mall stand-by’s like Macy’s, Gordon’s Jewelers and Ross Simons, online favorites like My Jewelry Box and Diamond.com, TV shopping networks like JTV and HSN, bargain outlets like Overstock.com, and many others – with jewelry from the classically elegant to the outrageously different.

Another important feature of the Jewelfinder Network is our network of jewelry “boutiques”. Built upon the JewelFinder platform, each features a different gemstone or type of jewelry, along with informative articles to help you purchase, care for and learn more about these items. We want you to become an informed consumer – to have the knowledge to make a purchase that will make you and those you love happy for years to come!

Many exciting changes are coming to the JewelFinder Network in 2010 – we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. If you have any suggestions for how we could make your jewelry shopping experience better and more productive, by all means drop us a line – we’re always happy to listen!

Wishing you the very best -
