Jewelry is an excellent choice for a gift for a special woman in your life. Here’s some tips on how to pick jewelry for many types of women.

TIP! Do not use harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, turpentine or acetone to clean them. This can dull your stones and eat away their enamel.

Try using a simple polishing cloth on your jewelery collection. This is an easy way to get shine without chemicals and solvents. Just polish each piece with the special cloth in the same way you would polish a piece of glass. Use the polishing side first and, then the other side to make your jewelry shine.

Don’t use harsh chemicals like turpentine or bleach to clean jewelry. Doing so can damage the shine and luster of the stones on your favorite pieces.

TIP! When shopping for genuine sterling silver jewelry, you need both a discerning eye and a small magnet. You are able to detect fake pieces of sterling jewelry with a magnet, as non-precious metals are attracted by the magnet.

Take care when you are storing your jewelry in the same place. You should keep the pieces separate in compartments, boxes, holders, and on hooks for better storage. Avoid just throwing them into a box in an unorganized manner. This can harm delicate parts, and tangle some pieces with others, like necklaces.

TIP! Be sure to pay attention to details like type of metal and shape. Noticing these things lets you choose jewelry more suited to their tastes.

Always keep your jewelry in a place that doesn’t experience extreme temperatures or humidities. Store them in a closed jewelry box or small drawstring bag for maximum protection. Tarnish is a chemical reaction that happens when silver and other metals are exposed to moisture and air. Precious metals can easily be polished, but non-precious metal needs a special polish.

TIP! Try wearing the item for a little while to see if it is comfortable and hangs correctly. It will also allow you to see if it can withstand every day wear and tear.

When purchasing jewels, you should understand which type of stone you are getting. You have three options as far as the type of gem: natural, imitation and synthetic. Natural gems and synthetic gems are real gemstones, whereas imitation is just an item of plastic with gemstone colors. Natural stones are found in the earth and are mined out, while synthetic ones are grown in laboratories.

TIP! Makeup isn’t for jewelry. Let your makeup dry before you put on a piece of jewelry.

If you want to maintain the look of your jewelry, you should prevent it from becoming tarnished. One of the best ways to keep your jewelry looking beautiful is to avoid wearing it in water. Metals can become dull, rusty or tarnished if submerged in it. A single coat of transparent nail polish may help protect certain types of metal.

TIP! Watch for jewelry sales if you’re in the mood to shop. The right sale can save you a ton of money.

You can use a brooch to make your belt stand out, since it is sure to be eye-catching. To add a twist to tradition, place the brooch at your hip.

TIP! It is important to pay attention to how the diamond is cut, and the clarity of the stone. To some people this is more important and appealing than the actual size.

Keep your jewelry unsoiled by only putting it on after all of your makeup has been applied. All the grime and dust from your makeup attracts jewelry. Therefore, putting on jewelry beforehand can make the piece look dingy. This is especially true when earrings and necklaces are concerned.

TIP! Both steam and dry saunas are included. The high levels of moisture and heat are very damaging to the jewelry.

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. Care for your gemstone is different, depending on how it was previously treated. Applying the wrong chemical when cleaning a gemstone can cause the protective treatment to dissolve, and damage the appearance of the gem.

TIP! When you are looking to buy someone a gift, you may consider getting a jewelry set. Some stores give deals when sets of jewelry are purchased.

A clasp that will hold up is a very important part of any necklace or bracelet. Weak clasps can cause the loss of expensive pendants, chains and stones. It is a wise idea to add a safety clasp to any expensive pieces of jewelry to avoid having them slip off accidentally. It isn’t unusual for people to protect their most cherished jewelry with a second or even a third clasp.

TIP! When shopping for expensive jewelry, choose one that is sure to last for years. Although you usually get high-quality jewelry when you spend a lot of money, you also need to consider the style of the piece.

Never swim with your jewelry on. Your jewelry’s luster and life can be damaged from the chlorine that is present in the pool water. Over time, salt water is just as harmful to your jewelry. It is advisable to remove all jewelry prior to participating in any water sports to protect and extend the life of your jewelry.

TIP! Crystal or onyx stones both stand out and make bold statements. Not only will you feel fabulous about your beautiful jewelry, but you’ll also feel fabulous about how much you saved.

These days of sky-high gold prices makes buying gold jewelry an expensive proposition. If nothing else but gold will do, then you can save a little by buying fewer karats. 18 karat gold is a popular option, being 75% pure the quality, as well as the price makes it an attractive choice for those in the market to purchase gold.

TIP! Combining large decorative jewelry with basic outfits can have quite the effect. Wear something in a single color and allow the jewelry to steal the show.

Any time you want to buy an extra special gift, jewelry is an obvious choice. These tips can assist you with picking the perfect piece no matter who that lady is, such as your girlfriend, wife, mother, friend or daughter.
