Use These Tips To Find The Right Jewelry Piece

Do you ever wake up, look in the mirror, and feel like there's something wrong? Although having great looking clothes and matching shoes is wonderful, your outfit isn't complete. The solution is probably good jewelry. One strategic piece can bring a whole outfit together. Try using a simple polishing cloth on your jewelery collection. A polishing cloth is a very gentle way to get a good shine on all your pieces. Use the two-sided cloth to polish your jewelry as if you were cleaning glass. First, use the polishing side to polish it up, then use the other side to shine it. Don't clean your jewelry in harsh household chemicals like ammonia, bleach or turpentine. Doing so can damage the shine and luster of the stones on your favorite pieces. If you want to buy sterling silver pieces, use a magnet and examine the jewelry very carefully. By using the magnet you can quickly determine if the jewelry item is made of a cheaper metal and not sterling silver. Sterling silver will always be hallmarked with a stamp such as .925, ster. or sterling. If the piece you're inspecting doesn't carry such a mark, be careful, as it is likely a fake. Put the jewelry on and wear it for a bit so you can describe the comfort and fit. Doing this also helps you see if the jewelery is long lasting or likely to break easily. Consider the stones whenever you buy jewelry. Choose a stone that goes well with your skin tone or the kind of clothes you wear and reflects your personality. Colors should be neutral so that they go with most of your outfits. It will be of no value to you to purchase jewels that are not easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. Keep yourself educated about jewelry. Now you can spend much more time doing things instead of searching for information, all thanks to these tips. Our tips will help you to enjoy your jewelry more for many years to come.
