Facts About Jewelry

By Almird Crisanto


It can be hard to gather jewelry information that is meaningful and helpful. Because of all the vast knowledge that is available, it can be difficult to know which ones to apply. Fortunately, the best tips have been compiled here, and you can read them below.

Keep your jewelry stored somewhere that is free from humidity or air. A jewelry box or drawstring bag out of a humid area is ideal. Air and humidity can tarnish metals of all types. You will be able to polish precious metals to remove tarnish, but non-precious metals may lose their coating, showing the copper metal beneath.

Before you think about picking up new jewelry, check into what the latest trends are to get a sense of what's of value. Getting a nice piece of jewelry is good, but getting it at a discount is even better.

Inquire about insurance for your jewelry when you purchase it from a jeweler. This is so that if something happens to your piece, you can return it to have it replaced or repaired. Some stores even insure jewelry against loss or theft.

For jewelry to stay shiny and new-looking, it is important to keep it from tarnishing. If possible, remove your jewelry if you are around water. Exposure can result in tarnishing, rusting or dulling of different metals. To give jewelry an added layer of protection apply a thin layer of clear nail lacquer.

Put the jewelry on and wear it for a bit so you can describe the comfort and fit. Doing this also helps you see if the jewelery is long lasting or likely to break easily.

The brooch adds a unique touch and a bit of your style to your outfit. Pin it to the middle of the waist or close to your hip.

The brooch adds a unique touch and a bit of your style to your outfit. Pin it near your hip or your waist's center.

Wait until after your makeup is complete and set before putting on jewelry. Dust and grime from makeup gravitates towards jewelry, and putting on your jewelry first can leave it looking dull or dingy. This is particularly important with necklaces and earrings.

When you list jewelry for sale online, make sure you present it in the best possible way. This is very important since customers cannot handle the jewelry in an online transaction. Photograph jewelry in a setting that concentrates the viewer's attention solely on the jewelry; avoid distracting backgrounds.

Don't wear jewelry when swimming. Chlorine from a pool is a chemical and can tarnish and damage precious jewelry. Salt water can also degrade jewelry. Taking jewelry off before getting in the water will protect it and extend the life of the jewelry.

Brand should not be the only consideration when purchasing jewelry. Nobody will realize where this piece came from, and the seller may sell the piece at a higher price because of this brand. There are thousands of quality brands of jewelry available for purchase.

Jewelry using crystal or onyx can be great statement pieces. It is certainly possible to spend less and come out with a piece of jewelry that is absolutely remarkable.

Alexandrite is an attractive stone for jewelry, but often overlooked. The color changes range from green to purple, dependent on whether you are inside or out. It can be made into rings, earrings, and pendants with any precious metal.

Jewelry is a great accessory that can go with anything you're wearing. There are such a wide variety of types and styles that you can look professional and elegant, or casual and fun. Next time you leave, wear some jewelry to look your best.
