When I say a person is reputable, it means they don''t try to BS you. Don''t try to switch stones. If something''s wrong with either the item or maybe it doesn''t match with what you want, they''ll say so instead of saying anything just to get you to buy it anyways. Also, being a gemologist with a degree from some respected place like GIA helps.
Reputable Jeweler isn''t a title. No one that I know would isse such a "title", except may the phoney baloneys that offer Bachelor''s Degrees, Masters Degrees and Doctorate without attending legitimate credentialed institution of learning, such as real universities and colleges.
Reputable Jeweler to me is someone''s opinion, which may or may not be accurate. If this opinion is stated by the jeweler himself, then I accept it with caution, People earning such accolades, are made by others not themselves.
A track record of honesty, integrity and service as expressed by customers.
It can not be granted by anyone in the same trade nor the person on themselves.
