david2 Sometimes, an outfit just doesn’t seem complete. You wear matching socks, a snazzy outfit, and you tied your shoes, yet there is a hole in your ambiance. Jewelry could be the missing piece. Even the simplest piece of jewelry can pull your outfit together.
Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia and acetone that may permanently damage your jewelry. Chemicals can eat away the stones or enamel on your stones.
Jewelry should be stored in an air-tight and humid free area. Keep your jewelry in a drawstring bag or in a box that is made for jewelry. Air and humidity will make the metals in jewelry tarnish. While precious metals can be polished back to their original luster, non-precious metals are only coated in which case polishing causes the copper metal underneath to show through.
Make sure you know what kind of gem you are getting when you are buying jewelry. Gemstones come in three different varieties: natural, imitation and synthetic. While both natural and synthetic stones are still real, imitation is just glass or plastic made to look like the natural stone. Natural stones are found underground and synthetic gems are created in a lab.
Most jewelry is intended to last for a life time. When you look for a piece of jewelry, always use a dealer with a good reputation, ensuring that the piece you choose is of high-quality. High-quality jewelry is durable and displays excellent craftsmanship. The person selling the piece should know its history, including who made it and the source of the stones. A quality item of jewelry will last a lifetime or more, so take the time to do your research.
Compare lots of diamonds before you settle on one to buy. Start by finding what you like, and then begin comparing it with other pieces. With diamonds, you need to have a keen eye because of the many tricks people will use to enhance it.
What color gold do they seem to favor – white or yellow? Do they normally wear a bracelet? What type of earrings do they prefer – drop and dangle or studs? Take a mental note of this important information. Once you are aware of their preferences, you will be in a better position to determine what to buy them.
Before committing yourself to a piece, do research to determine which styles are hot and which are not. It is one thing to get a gorgeous bauble, but it is another to get it on sale!
Test it out by wearing it yourself; you don’t want to give a piece that will be uncomfortable or awkward for the recipient. Doing this also helps you see if the jewelery is long lasting or likely to break easily.
When buying jewelry for a one-of-a-kind person, buy them something equally unique. Look for something that fits their personality. If you buy something that will go along with their personality it will show them you thought about them!
Beautiful jewelry is one of the best ways to give that finishing touch to your outfit. Jewelry can make you look more attractive, professional or simply original. To make sure you look your best, wear some jewelery!
