You will be able to polish precious metals to remove tarnish, but non-precious metals may lose their coating, showing the copper metal beneath.

Before you think about picking up new jewelry, check into what the latest trends are to get a sense of what's of value. Getting a nice piece of jewelry is good, but getting it at a discount is even better.

Make sure that you learn about the jeweler's insurance policy prior to making any purchases. This is so that if something happens to your piece, you can return it to have it replaced or repaired. Sometimes you can even get replacement coverage for loss or theft.

Alexandrite is an attractive stone for jewelry, but often overlooked. The color changes range from green to purple, dependent on whether you are inside or out. It can be made into rings, earrings, and pendants with any precious metal.

Jewelry is a great accessory that can go with anything you're wearing. There are such a wide variety of types and styles that you can look professional and elegant, or casual and fun. Next time you leave, wear some jewelry to look your best.
