Jewelry Care - Advice And Tips For Your Fine Jewelry
Before accessorizing, decide if you want your jewelry to be a simple accessory or the main
focus of your outfit. Can you tell the difference between costume jewelry and more valuable
pieces? You will also learn the difference between man-made or lab created gem and natural
gems. This article will help you understand more about many aspects of dealing with jewelry.

it up and not deal with the hassle of using cleaners. Just polish each piece with the special
cloth in the same way you would polish a piece of glass. Use the side of the cloth that is
designed for polishing to remove fingerprints, dust and other surface imperfections, and then
use the opposite side to buff the jewelry and make it gleam.
Ensure you are certain how to keep your jewelery in one place so it is not damaged.
Consider delegating each piece to its own resting place, utilizing compartmental boxes and
storage units. You should never simply throw your jewelry into a box in a messy pile. This
can harm delicate parts, and tangle some pieces with others, like necklaces.
Check to see if your jeweler offers an insurance policy before purchasing an item. This is to
avoid any future complications. If anything were to happen you have yourself covered and to
avoid complications with that jeweler in the future, they can replace or fix it for you if you run
into problems. You should also think about getting additional insurance in cause of theft or
loss.
A piece of jewelry should be long lasting. When purchasing your next jewelry item, focus on
buying a quality, well-made piece. You should be able to notice a quality piece by its
craftsmanship. A reputable jeweler will be able to provide you with a full background of the
piece, including where the stones are from and who made it. When you are looking for
jewelry of the highest quality, it is important to be careful in your choice, as you want
something that will last a lifetime.
Consider the stones whenever you buy jewelry. Choose a stone that reflects both your
personality, skin tone and lifestyle. Neutral colors are versatile enough to wear with any outfit
in your closet. It will be of no value to you to purchase jewels that are not easy to incorporate
into your lifestyle.
Prevent your jewelry from tarnishing so that it keeps looking great. Try not to wear jewelry
when you are around water. Exposure can result in tarnishing, rusting or dulling of different
metals. Clear nail polish, applied in a thin coat, can give jewelry some added protection.
If you wear the piece for 24 hours, then you can be sure that it has been put together
correctly and hangs nicely. It will also allow you to test the piece's durability.
Gems are given chemical treatments in the process of cutting, polishing and setting. When
you are thinking of buying, ask what treatment a stone was given. The various treatments
that gems are given means that they need to be cared for differently. For example, you
should avoid cleaning a gem that has been treated with a certain solution that could peel off
the treatment because this could harm the gem.
Keep all of your jewelry cleaner by putting it on only after you have applied all makeup and
perfume. Putting jewelry on prior to applying makeup or hairspray allows gunk and grime
from your beauty products to settle on the jewelry, leaving it dull and potentially harming the
finish. Especially keep this tip in mind for necklaces or earrings.
Make sure you apply these tips next time to think about buying jewelry. The millions of
jewelry designs to choose from can be daunting, and reading facts on jewelry can be of great
help.
