Selecting and purchasing the right piece of jewelry can be a difficult step for many people. If you do the proper research and have a strong understanding of your needs, picking that perfect ring, necklace or earring becomes much easier.

When you are making a jewelry purchase, it is important to feel a level of trust and understanding with the salesperson you are working with. If you do not feel comfortable with the salesperson helping you or they are not grasping the concept of what you are looking for, do not hesitate to ask for someone else to assist you with your purchase.

Do not attempt to shine your silver or gold jewelry with toothpaste. It is simply an incorrect home remedy that many try to pass off as fact that it works. The chemicals in toothpaste will erode your jewelry causing the gemstones to permanently lose their luster. For only a few dollars you can buy a proper polishing cloth and jewelry shining liquid.

If you are shopping for jewelry for someone who was born in the month of August, opt for pieces that feature the vibrant, spring green gemstone peridot. For centuries, this stone has been thought to bring peace, success, and good luck to the wearer. Astrologists advise Libras to wear peridot stones to complement their natural energies.

Some classic and very affordable types of jewelry that are available are pearls. These are very classic staples to any collection. They are also available in three types that include natural, imitation, and cultured. There are many colors and variations available such as classic white, pink, gold, black, etc.

Many precious gems and stones can not be put in a cleaning solution. It is important that you understand the composition of your ring and the composition of your cleaning solution. Some stones like pearl, opal, turquoise and other soft gems can get damaged by the harsh chemicals found in jewelry cleaner.

When shopping for diamonds, you should never agree to a jeweler's suggestion that you leave a deposit while you take the stone for an appraisal. Nine out of ten times, this is part of an elaborate scam intended to part you from your money. If you feel that the jeweler is reputable, you should at least verify that the deposit is in fact refundable.

To help you maintain the good condition of your jewelry, make sure you take off all of your jewelry before you go swimming in a pool that has chlorine in it. Chlorine is a very harsh chemical that can damage fine jewelry. Simply taking your jewelry off before you swim can prevent any damage.

Do not purchase any jewelry online, unless it is from a dealer you know and trust. There are many scam people online who promise you an expensive and real piece of jewelry, when in reality, it is fake. If you are unsure if you can trust a dealer, you can check out his or her credentials online.
