Hints And Helpful Insights For Jewelry Lovers

By Almird Crisanto


Jewelry has been popular for thousands of years and there are literally millions of designs to choose from. Below you will find tips to guide you in choosing pieces of jewelry you are guaranteed to cherish forever.

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.

Pay close attention to the design and style of their earrings, which may be hoops, gauges, studs, or something new. He or she may also have a preference towards gold, silver, or a different material. By doing this you should have a good idea what to buy them.

Make sure that you learn about the jeweler's insurance policy prior to making any purchases. This is so that if something happens to your piece, you can return it to have it replaced or repaired. Sometimes you can even get replacement coverage for 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.

You need to take special care of costume jewelry. Costume settings are often glued-in as compared to set-in. Don't submerge costume jewelry in water or clean it with abrasives. The best way to maintain your costume jewelry is to use a moist, warm cloth first, then dry it off with another cloth. This keeps dirt from building up and making your jewelry look dull.

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.

Be careful when untangling your delicate necklaces. It's easy to give up on some knotted metal mass; however, you should instead use plastic wrap. Apply baby oil or mineral oil to your necklace after placing it on the plastic wrap. It is possible to untangle very snarled necklaces with a needle. Finally, use dish soap and dry gently with a towel.

If you are selling your jewelry online, make sure it is presented attractively. This is very important because a customer cannot look at the jewelery if they are buying it online. Avoid taking photographs of jewelery with backgrounds that distract from the piece.

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.

Jewelry is definitely not an item that you want to restrict yourself based on brand name. Many people won't know where you got it, and many sellers try to sell these brands so that you pay a lot for them. There are thousands of gorgeous styles available that happen to carry a more reasonable price tag.

You can earn a little cash from your solid gold necklaces and bracelet without selling them. Instead, you can just trim off some excess chain and sell it, and keep the important part to wear. Genuine gold is valuable even in small pieces, so consider the option of removing links in chains or charms.

It may be tough to figure out how to best present jewelry that you are selling at informal events like craft fairs and flea markets. When looking for materials that you can use in your jewelry, also be on the lookout for creative display materials. A wide variety of everyday items can be used to display your jewelry creatively.

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.
