Pro Tips That Will Net You The Best Jewelry
A new piece of jewelry is a special way to commemorate an important time in your life. Even the most delicate pieces of jewelry are special gifts that will be appreciated by their recipient. This article can help you learn more about jewelry, whether it is your own or you choose to give it as a gift:
If you are looking to purchase sterling silver jewelry online, make sure to also purchase a silver acid testing kit. Such kits are widely available online as well for under ten dollars. They provide a safe way for you to acid test the jewelry you receive to make sure of its authenticity. This way, if you are purchasing a vintage piece that may not be hallmarked, you are still able to know that you have not been scammed.
Essential to anyone buying jewelry for reclamation purposes is a pocket-sized gram and carat scale. While a scale can’t determine the purity of the gold and silver you encounter in your jewelry hunting, a pocket scale can at least give you a basic starting point to determine fair pricing and valuing of your jewelry finds.
Part of selecting your wedding jewelry should be taking into consideration when you’re getting married. Sparkly jewelry, like dangling diamonds, look best when light is coming from all directions, as it would in a night ceremony or reception. Daytime weddings, especially outdoors, tend not to highlight this kind of jewelry as well.
If you’re having a traditional wedding and your family wants you to wear heirloom jewelry, find out what you will be wearing as early as possible! You’ll need to match your other items to what your family will be giving you. So ensure you have enough time to snag a pair of earrings or a bracelet to match.
To create a slimmer body silhouette with jewelry, choose pieces that dangle. Dangling pieces are immediately eye-catching, and will create the illusion of a longer, leaner look. Focus specifically on the area you’d like to slim down. For a slimmer looking face, try dangling earrings. A long necklace with a dangling charm can make the upper half of your body look much thinner.
As was already stated, jewelry makes the ideal gift for many reasons. Even smaller, delicate pieces make special gifts that touch the recipient. There are many things to consider when wearing, storing and caring for jewelry, whether it is your own or someone else’s. The tips from this article should help you give and take care of jewelry successfully.
