Sarah Renn, from Norfolk, Virginia, took to TikTok to share her tactics with her 107,600 followers.
She said she was shocked to discover how many men she would discover trying to cover their tracks when buying jewelry.
In the original clip, which was viewed more than 1.7 million times, Sarah wasted little time reeling off her thoughts.
‘The number of men I have caught cheating on their loved ones by selling jewelery is absolutely incredible.
‘So after graduating I decided I was going to start working in a jewelery store.
“I was personally on the sales team and everyone has heard that men buy two different pieces of jewelry at a jewelry store. [if they are cheating].
“I didn’t believe this existed until I worked there for about a month.”
The first indicator she noticed was that men were buying two separate pieces of jewelry instead of one set, like people normally would.
Men said their wives only liked yellow gold jewelry and out of nowhere they bought white gold necklaces, which were clearly for their secret lovers.
“You could tell this was not for his wife because her behavior would completely change,” he added.
The store worker explained that there are a number of telltale signs, such as using two cards, lying about having daughters, or buying random items that they have said their wife won’t like.
“The amount of men I’ve caught cheating on their loved ones by selling jewelry is absolutely crazy,” he said.
‘He would start looking around. She would start stuttering her words. He’d say, “Yeah, put that on the bill too; she’ll really like it.”
He said men often asked for items to be packaged separately and concluded, “At the end of each transaction, I would shake my customer’s hand and guess who was the sweatiest: “Cheater McGee.”
Sarah then posted a follow-up clip following widespread interest in her knowledge.
He began by stating that another telltale sign would be men using two cards for two separate purchases in an attempt to cover their tracks.
By attempting to surprise the men by questioning them, Sarah would realize that the secret cheaters would have a hard time coming up with a reason as to why they wanted to pay separately.
Her last indicator was when the men tried to “pull the daughter card.”
The content creator explained: “Don’t get me wrong, a lot of men bought jewelry for their daughters, but this was different.”
Her TikTok clips were quickly inundated with comments as other employees were quick to agree with Sarah’s observations.
‘I asked them questions about their daughter. I know some people don’t want all their information out there, but I was just having a casual conversation while we were doing the transaction and asking about family, which is something you’re trained to do.
“Then I asked him: ‘How old is your daughter? She is 13 years old. Oh my gosh, that’s amazing. So when was she born? What year was she? When is her birthday? January the 8th?
‘”Oh my God, you should get her a necklace with birthstones, maybe not these diamond earrings for a 14-year-old girl, but maybe we’ll just get her a little bit of a birthstone.”‘
Her TikTok clips were quickly inundated with comments as other employees were quick to agree with Sarah’s observations.
One person wrote: “I worked in a chocolate shop – Valentine’s Day spoke volumes.”
Another commented: “When I worked at Swarovski this happened very often.”
A third person added: ‘They also did it 24/7 at Victoria’s Secret when I worked there. Two clearly different sizes.’
Other followers provided suggestions on how employees can help catch cheaters.

One person suggested: “Include gift tags inside and change the names by accident.”
Another wrote: “Oops, I accidentally put the receipt with both purchases in the earring box under the earring insert.”
A third person added: ‘The same goes for florists. I’m a florist, many men asked for two bouquets to deliver on Valentine’s Day… Sometimes I’m so clumsy… I once accidentally confused the cards with each other…’
Someone else asked: ‘For example, why do they go through all this stress? Just break up.’
