Jewelry is beloved not only for its connotations, but also for its beauty. Jewelry not only reminds us of our important relationships, it also helps memorialize those special occasions. Learning more information about jewelry can assist you in preserving precious memories for a longer period of time, and assist you in purchasing and selling it. Read the below article in order to get that information you need.

TIP! Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia and acetone that may permanently damage your jewelry. This will result in damage to both the stones and the metal of the piece.

Store your jewelry in a place that is not subjected to humidity extremes or open air. Store jewelry in a sealed box or drawstring pouch for the best protection. Humidity and air tends to cause precious and non-precious metals to tarnish. It’s possible to restore precious metals through polishing, but lesser-quality metals may suffer permanent damage.

TIP! Make sure you organize your jewelry properly. Boxes, holders, compartments, and hooks are all valuable tools for storing jewelry safely.

If you are shopping for sterling silver jewelry, you’ll need a magnet and an eye for the real thing. Jewelry made with non-precious metals will be attracted to the magnet, revealing any fakes. True sterling silver will also have a mark on it to indicate its quality, such as “.925” or “ster”. If you cannot find a stamp, you might be looking at a cheap imitation.

TIP! Pay attention to the types, sizes, and colors of jewelry that the person wears. Once you are aware of their preferences, you will be in a better position to determine what to buy them.

When you are purchasing a new piece of jewelry, be aware of the gemstone that it contains and what it is made of. There are three unique types of stones: imitation, synthetic and natural. Imitation gems are basically plastic that is colored, while synthetic and natural are real. Natural stones are found underground and synthetic gems are created in a lab.

TIP! Going through a day wearing the jewelry will let you get familiar with how it hangs and whether or not it will be comfortable. It will also allow you to see if the item is durable enough.

Pay attention to the quality and type of gemstones in a piece when you’re looking at buying new jewelry. Try to choose a stone that meshes well with your taste or personality. Also, consider what looks good on you. Neutral colors work better to match all your clothing. It’s a waste of time buying something that you won’t wear regularly.

TIP! When shopping for jewelry, think about the stones in the pieces. Try to choose a stone that meshes well with your taste or personality.

When you buy a piece of jewelry, know what your plans for it are. There is no point in filling your jewelery box with things you cannot wear. Think about which outfits you will wear the jewelry with while you are shopping.

TIP! Putting on jewelry only after you have put on makeup and fixed your hair will keep it from being exposed to chemicals that could tarnish it. Dust from your makeup can end up on your jewelry, and this can make it look dull.

Selling jewelry online requires you to capture stunning images of the piece. Visuals are particularly important because customers cannot physically see or touch jewelery when they buy online. It is essential that the jewelry be placed on a background that does not draw the attention away from the piece.

TIP! Think about the outfits you will wear it with when you buy a piece of jewelry. There is no need to spend your money on a bauble that you cannot see yourself wearing.

You can have a more beautiful diamond if it is cut correctly, as opposed to a diamond of a bigger size. Remember to think about the personality and style of the woman you’re getting the diamond for.

TIP! This goes for any type of sauna, either steam or dry. The high temperatures and damp environment can corrode the surface of your jewelry and cause long-term damage to the piece.

Comparison shopping for diamonds is critical. Every diamond is unique, and each will have some flaws. Sometimes an imperfection isn’t so important, but you need to see the diamond in person to determine this. Depending on the number and types of flaws in a diamond, jewelers may be somewhat flexible in pricing the piece. Look around and you’re sure to find the perfect diamond for you, at a price you can live with.

TIP! Take the time to shop at several different stores, both online and offline, when considering a diamond jewelry purchase. No diamond is without its flaws, and every piece is unique.

A jewelry set makes an excellent present for that special someone. Buying a set of jewelry can get you a deal many times. You can even divide the pieces and give them to multiple recipients or on multiple occasions. By doing this, you’ll always have a gift ready and you know they’ll like it.

TIP! Don’t swim while wearing your jewelry. Chlorine from a pool is a chemical and can tarnish and damage precious jewelry.

Do not swim while wearing jewelry. The strength of chlorine means it can hurt the shine of your jewelry and decrease its life. Saltwater is equally damaging to your precious jewels. Take off your jewelry before diving in the water to keep them looking their best.

TIP! Using robe hooks will help to stop necklaces from becoming tangled. You can keep your necklaces organized by length, color or material when you install a row of robe hooks on a wall or right on the inside of your closet door.

The high price of gold could cause you to pass up a piece of jewelry you really want. If you simply must have that gold ring, necklace or bracelet, be flexible in terms of karats. The best deal you will usually find is a piece of 18 karat gold, which is at least 75% pure gold.

Feel Fabulous

TIP! Jewelry with onyx or crystal can make an impact and separate you from the crowd. Be friendlier with your wallet and you may just like the results.

Crystal or onyx jewelry can really stand out well and make a statement. Not only will you feel fabulous about your beautiful jewelry, but you’ll also feel fabulous about how much you saved.

If you are wearing a simple outfit, wear bigger jewelery. Wear a solid color or the “little black dress” to highlight interesting pieces.

TIP! Always be mindful of your budget when you are buying jewelry. Buying expensive jewelry and incurring debt just so you can wear the jewelry occasionally isn’t a smart financial decision.

A lot of people are starting to combine silver jewelry with yellow gold jewelry when they pick out pieces to wear. To achieve this look, you must own a piece that has each of these metals. If you do not have this, you will not look very stylish, and your jewelry will not go well together.

TIP! Surprise your sweetheart and express your admiration with a lovely piece of jewelry. Many women love surprise gifts, especially ones that glitter.

Jewelry often has priceless memories attached to it. Every piece of jewelry has its own story, whether it reminds you of a special time in your life, or represents an important part of your personality.
