Jewelry: The Data Is In And You Need To Read It
Jewelry is a confusing topic. Whether you are male or female, you have to be very careful about where you purchase your jewelry. Furthermore, the care of your items will ensure the value of your jewelry. The fact is that researching jewelry can be tough, so this article is a compilation of some helpful jewelry tips to guide you.
Do not purchase any jewelry from retailers in China. This country is notorious for selling fake gemstone and metal jewelry. Oftentimes, the jewelry advertised as sterling silver with real turquoise is just a piece of metal sprayed in silver and the turquoise is a fake piece of plastic. Such vendors may accept returns, but the hassle of shipping it back at your own cost, is usually not worth it. Be aware of scams like this.
You can easily create your own special charm bracelets. You can purchase blank charm bracelets at almost any jewelry store you can think of. The best part is putting on your own charms. Don’t be boring or bland by buying a pre-made charm bracelet. Display your private memories and personality with charms that mean something to you. Collect charms from different places you love to visit or take apart vintage pieces of mismatched jewelry that no longer serve a purpose. Making your own charm bracelet is not only a fun pastime, but also proves to be a fashion statement.
When you go jewelry shopping, make sure that it is with people you know and trust that can help you find what it is that you need. There should ideally be at least two people to help you with your shopping experience. The first should be an experienced and trustworthy jeweler. The other should be a loved one or good friend.
If you’re trying to buy a diamond on a budget, look for one that has slight inclusions and is a less than perfect color of white. Often times, you cannot even see the inclusions and “off” color with the naked eye, but it can save you hundreds or thousands on the price of the stone.
As you can see, there is a lot to be learned about jewelry. Whether you are purchasing jewelry for yourself or others, being prepared with knowledge will empower you as a consumer. Knowing how to properly maintain your pieces is also essential to maintaining their worth. Be a smart consumer and enjoy the benefits of these tips.
