The Guide To Jewelry Know-How

By Amelia K Rendersons


Selling or buying jewelry requires a massive amount of research and knowledge in order to obtain pieces that you want or need. This can make it hard to know where to start.

Have you ever considered purchasing jewelry second-hand? This can be a great way to add new pieces to your collection at a reasonable price. Most of the time, these pieces of jewelry can be as good as the brand new pieces, and they're usually much cheaper. Therefore, you'll get much more out of the money you spend.

If any of your rings are too big or loose on your fingers, make sure you take them off before swimming, washing dishes, or taking a bath. Loose rings can easily slide off your fingers when submerged in water, and you could lose them down the drain.

Choose an engagement ring that reflects your style and relationship. The rings should reflect your individuality, as well as your relationship with your partner. The ring will carry the story of your love affair for years to come. Therefore, it is very important that it not only reflects your love, but also your and your significant other's personality.

Prior to shopping for a ring to propose with, do a little research to discover the approximate cost of different diamonds. When you shop for diamonds, it can be an emotional experience. Do not get distracted and forget about your original budget.

When getting presents for someone, you may want to consider purchasing sets of jewelry. Most jewelers offer special deals on jewelry when it is bought in sets, rather than each piece individually. You do not have to give your loved one the entire set at once. You can present him or her with one piece as each occasion comes around. This way, you know that you are giving a present that perfectly matches something the person already has.

If you regularly wear rings on both hands, keep your hands and nails looking beautiful too. Regular trips to the manicurist or simple buffing can go a long way in complimenting your jewelry.

See if your gem has had any treatments prior to buying, and if so, which treatments. There are several different types of treatment, and each one needs it's own type of care. If your gem was treated you have to find out how to clean it properly.

If you are like many men, you may be uncertain about when cufflinks are appropriate. You generally want to wear them with a high-quality or expensive dress shirt. Make sure that the style of your suit and shirt match the cufflinks they will be paired with so as to complement each other.

Laboratory-made, or "synthetic," gemstones are now a valid choice to make when purchasing jewelry. These stones look a lot like their natural counterparts. The price of the natural stones is much more expensive, however, because they are more rare.

Costume jewelry should be treated differently than your other jewelry. That's because a lot of the costume settings are not set-in; they have usually been glued. Never immerse your costume jewelry or use harsh chemicals on it. Simply wipe it with a damp warm cloth, followed by a soft, dry cloth. This helps keep costume jewelry looking sparkling clean and new.

Clearly, buying and selling jewelry successfully requires ample amounts of research and effort. These suggestions will help you to make intelligent choices in the jewelry market.
