Jewelry is always fun to buy and own, whether it be for yourself or someone you love. There

In order to save money, have a replica made for a piece of jewelry that you covet but can't
really afford. Typically, this will only require a picture of your ideal piece. You can then take
the picture to a specialist or a jeweler. From the photograph, a jeweler can use other
materials to create the piece, and plate it with precious metals to keep the cost down.
If you have small pieces of jewelry from your childhood that you'd like to keep wearing, layer
them with more mature pieces. If you add a cross or heart pendant necklace to a grouping of
others, it gives the entire grouping a lovely, personalized touch.
Check to see if your jeweler offers an insurance policy before purchasing an item. That way,
if something were to happen to your jewelry, you can easily bring it back to the jeweler who
will fix or replace it. You can even find insurance on jewelry pieces that were stolen or
misplaced.
While it may not be the best jewelry cleaner, it is a viable option when you are in a jam. Begin
by using a cloth that is soft and free of lint, or a paper towel in a pinch. Put a small dollop of
toothpaste on it. Use the cloth to buff your jewelry with the toothpaste, then rinse the
remaining residue off. It might not be exactly perfect, but it will not have tarnish.
You should never wear your jewelry while swimming. Swimming pools contain chlorine,
which can age many types of jewelry prematurely. Salt water can damage them over time
too. To safeguard your valuable jewelry, set it aside in a safe place before you go in for a
swim.
When considering a nice piece of jewelry, consider the popular beauty of rubies. The ruby is
known for being red in color, but the shades of red it appears in are quite varied. They can be
found from the deepest of maroons to a light rose pink and all the hues in between. They are
a durable stone, able to withstand daily wear and tear and even exposure to some
chemicals. So, they're not only beautiful, they're strong, making them an excellent choice for
jewelry.
loose gemstones Find out more about the gems you look at. Ask about where they came
from and to which category they belong. The types of gems available are synthetic, imitation
and natural. Imitation is plastic that is colored to looked like the stone, but natural stones and
synthetic stones are real. The only difference between natural and imitation gemstones is
where they are made. Natural occur naturally, while synthetic stones are grown in labs.
Shop the sales to get great jewelry on a budget. Jewelry sales offer big savings. Check for
great sales online, in the newspaper, and even storefront windows. Sometimes, buying
fashion styles that are on their way out can save you almost half of the original price.
For those creative, quirky people in your life, shop for handcrafted original pieces. This will
express the time you spent to get their gift just right, just the kind of sentiment you want to
show your special friends.
When presented appropriately, jewelry can be a cherished gift. Learning about jewelry will
help you recognize a bargain, and buy the best piece possible. Having an eye for jewelry is
about understanding the art and acquiring some knowledge.
