Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror and feel like there is just something that is missing? Your clothes look great, your socks match, and your shoes are on the right feet, but something is not right. Jewelery is always the answer to your problem. Sometimes, one simple piece of jewelry will make your outfit look complete.
Know the type of gem you’re buying, when you buy it. The types of gems available are synthetic, imitation and natural. Imitation has little value, as it is generally plastic, while synthetic and natural are considered to be real gems. Natural stones are mined, and synthetic stones are created in a laboratory.
Jewelry should be stored in an air-tight and humid free area. A jewelry box or drawstring bag out of a humid area is ideal. Tarnish is a chemical reaction that happens when silver and other metals are exposed to moisture and air. Polishing will work to restore the color and shine for precious metals, but with non-precious metals, polishing will not help the change in color.
Check out the latest trends in jewelry before you pick up a new piece. The one thing that makes a great purchase an outstanding one is getting a bargain on it.
Always ask the jeweler about an insurance policy before buying a new piece of jewelry. Then, if something actually happens to the jewelry, you can return it or have it repaired. You should also think about getting additional insurance in cause of theft or loss.
The brooch will call attention to your belt and make it more interesting to look at. Pin it in the center of your waist or towards your hip.
Buy jewelry on sale whenever possible. Jewelry sales offer big savings. Check for the best sales in the paper, online, and in store windows. Sometimes, buying fashions that are out of style can save you more than half of their original price.
