You can keep the jewelry in your collection sparkling by using a special polishing cloth. With this method, you can simply shine it up and not deal with the hassle of using cleaners. To clean your jewelry, obtain a soft two-sided cloth and gently rub in a circular motion. Use the one side designated for polish, and the other for making it shine.

Don’t use things that contain harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, acetone or turpentine, to clean your jewelry. Doing so can destroy enamel finishes, while clouding stones and crystals.

Sterling Silver

TIP! You will need to take special care when you are buying costume jewelery! A fair amount of costume pieces are set with glue. Don’t submerge costume jewelry in water or clean it with abrasives.

A magnet is a useful tool when shopping for jewelry in sterling silver. Imitations will be attracted to your magnet. This is an easy way to recognize quality. Another way to tell if a metal is sterling silver is to check for a hallmark stamp, for example .sterling, .ster, or .925. Silver jewelry that lacks a hallmark may be a fake or composed of other metals.

TIP! To preserve the pristine look of your jewelry, apply your make-up first, wait for it to set, then put on your jewelry. Dirt and oil accumulate in the small crevices of jewelry, and can make it look dull and shabby.

Before you buy a gemstone, ask what type of gemstone it is. The three different types of stones are natural, imitation and synthetic. Natural and synthetic are both real, while imitation is just basically colored plastic. Natural gems are those that are actually from the earth, whereas synthetic ones are made in labs.

TIP! Be careful when untangling your delicate necklaces. It’s easy to get frustrated with tangled necklaces, but saran wrap can come to the rescue.

When you are shopping for diamonds, there are ways to compare the stones. Always see the piece up close, and compare it critically to any others you’re considering. Don’t fall for any of the tricks used by shady dealers. They employ these tactics to make a diamond look better than it really is.

TIP! Do not buy a piece of jewelery if you are not sure when you are going to wear it. You want to ensure that you purchase a piece of jewelry that you will actually wear.

When shopping for jewelry, think about the stones in the pieces. Choose pieces that have stones which express your personality and those that make you feel great when you wear them. If you choose a neutral color it will match anything you wear. There is no point in buying something that is not functional.

TIP! When selling a piece of jewelry online, you should aim to present the piece in an attractive manner. This is important to do because when someone purchases something online, they don’t have it in front of them to feel and touch.

Research the proper methods for cleaning your jewelry. Metals, gemstones and settings all have different storage and cleaning requirements. Cleaning and maintenance techniques that work perfectly on one stone might cause damage to another. If you can’t find information about caring for a specific piece of jewelry, consult a trusted jeweler.

A brooch is a great accent for your belt, adding eye-catching interest. Think about placing it near your hip or at waist level.

TIP! This applies to dry and steam-filled saunas. The moisture and high temperatures in saunas can do real damage to your jewelry.

In order to make sure your jewelry is always looking clean, you should only put a piece on once you’ve applied your make-up. Any kind of spare dust or oil will attach itself to your jewelry, so putting it on before makeup will just make it look a little dirty. This tip especially applies to necklaces and earrings.

Many times, the cut and clarity of a diamond outshines its actual carat weight. You must also consider the personality and preferences of the gift recipient.

TIP! Onyx and crystal jewelry looks beautiful and can make a statement. Give your wallet a break and look good at the same time.

The prices for diamonds vary greatly so shop around before making a purchase. Every diamond is unique and has its own flaws. Sometimes an imperfection isn’t so important, but you need to see the diamond in person to determine this. In addition, different stores will price slightly different. The price is often dependent on the imperfections. Don’t just look at one jewelry shop. Take the time to really look around until you find the best deal possible.

TIP! It is hard to determine whether a sapphire or a ruby is natural or synthetic. These fancy stones might look physically and chemically identical, but the fake ones are much cheaper in cost compared to the natural and flawless gems.

Jewelry can really put an outfit together. There are many styles of jewelry you can choose from to help you look professional, fun, or even classy. Every time you head out the door, take just a few minutes to put on the jewelry that will make you look your very best.
