Picking Out The Right Kind Of Jewelry For A Gift

By Craig D Edwardson


When it comes time for you to start shopping or selling jewelry, you may want to know where to begin, as there are many things to consider when buying or selling this type of commodity. The tips in this article can provide you with what you need to know to buy or sell jewelry.

Get your diamond jewelry professionally cleaned twice a year. Most jewelers will clean jewelry for free, even if it was not purchased in that store. Jewelry you wear every day, such as a wedding ring, may need more frequent cleaning. Be sure to ask a jeweler the preferred way of doing that.

When buying an engagement ring, remember to find out beforehand, what shape stone she wants her diamond to be. Currently, there are nine different shapes or cuts of diamonds to choose from.

When choosing your wedding band set, keep in mind the jewelry you already own and regularly wear. A yellow gold wedding band isn't the best choice if most of the jewelry you already own is white gold or silver. You will most likely be wearing your wedding band every day. Make sure it's not only something you like, but something that matches what you already own.

If you want to take care of your jewelry then your best investment will be in a high-quality jewelry box. Choose a box with multiple compartments to make finding jewelry easier and keep it all separate so nothing ends up scratched or tarnished or tangled. The more expensive your jewelry, the better the box should be.

If you are buying a gemstone, inquire if it has been treated. There have been many new stone treatments developed. These treatments help to improve the durability and appearance of gemstones. These new treatments, while helpful, may require special upkeep and lower the gem's value. Take this into consideration when buying a gemstone.

Remember: it's not a race. Give yourself plenty of time to explore your various options and try on different pieces and styles to determine which look is the most flattering, attractive and most stylish. Do not let a limited-time offer be the deciding factor in your decision; similar sales recur multiple times throughout the year.

Never wear any jewelry, especially gold pieces, in a swimming pool. The chlorine and other chemicals used to keep pools clean can cause rapid deterioration of the composition of your jewelry. Make sure you remove all pieces, including earrings or other piercings that you may not remove for any other occasion.

To make sure your jewelry always looks appropriate, consider the occasion before choosing pieces. If you're at work, it's best to avoid chokers and hoop earrings. Pearls are very versatile, but aren't ideal for a very casual environment. Wearing jewelry ideal for the occasion will keep you from looking out of place.
