Tricks And Tips That Will Net You The Best Jewelry

By Claire P Remmington


There is no shortage of wonderful information about jewelry. One mistake can cost you a fortune. Here are a couple of intelligent tips on this particular subject. This information can guide you in selecting and caring for jewelry pieces, and help you avoid some common pitfalls.

Remember to contrast finely detailed, ornate jewelry with a simple outfit. Instead, wear the classic "little black dress" or other solid background to highlight your interesting jewelry item.

If you put on your jewelry only after you have put on your makeup, you will have to clean it less. Dirt and oil accumulate in the small crevices of jewelry, and can make it look dull and shabby. It is especially important to follow this tip for necklaces and earrings.

When you go swimming, take your jewelry off first. The chlorine in swimming pools can ruin a piece of jewelry. Even ocean swimming is not good for jewelry. The salt is damaging. It is advisable to remove all jewelry prior to participating in any water sports to protect and extend the life of your jewelry.

Presentation is important, just as much to you when you are selling home-made jewelry at a craft sale or flea market as it is to a posh jewelry store. When you are out looking for materials to create your jewelry, remember to think about creative displays. You can turn baskets, cigar boxes, racks or even wig stands into jewelry displays by being creative.

Before you purchase any jewelry, make certain you develop a budget, and, more importantly, make sure you stick to it. Make sure you only look at jewelry that is within your budget.

Clean your copper jewelry with lemon juice once in awhile. Over time, copper jewelry will develop a tarnish. Some people like the patina it gets, but if you do not care for it, use lemon juice or vinegar to clear the patina and make your jewelry look new.

Take the steps to inhibit its tarnishing. When wearing your jewelry, you should avoid exposure to water. Many types of jewelry become dulled or tarnished when they are exposed to water. Clear nail polish can be used to protect your jewelry if you apply a very thin coat of it on your pieces.

When you and your partner are looking at engagement rings, make sure that the ring is cut in a style that will reflect your lives. You want the ring to reflect who you are inside, and match your lifestyle. The ring will be in your possession for a long time so it is important that it is the epitome of your spirits.

Put the jewelry on and wear it for a bit so you can describe the comfort and fit. This can also help you see whether the piece is durable enough to last.

Don't spring for fancy designer jewelry with someone's name on it. While well known brands of jewelers are more widely known, this does not necessarily imply that their jewelry is of a finer quality than other less known brands. Check out the styles you like from higher end designers, then look for a cheaper alternative with the same look or design.

Take note of whether they wear hoop earrings or studs, yellow gold or white gold, an ankle bracelet, etc. Paying attention to these aspects of their current wardrobe will help you make a purchase they are more likely to enjoy.

Jewelry that is well looked-after will always retain its investment cost, as well as providing you with strong sentimental value in the years ahead. By educating yourself on proper jewelry care and maintenance, you can preserve the money and memories invested in your pieces. This is more information out there, and by continuously education yourself, you can get more from your own jewelry.
