Selecting and caring for jewelry pieces, advice.

One mistake in your purchase can end up costing you quite a bit. These manageable tips will help. This information can guide you in selecting and caring for jewelry pieces, and help you avoid some common pitfalls.

Polish your jewelry regularly with a jeweler's polishing cloth. This easy technique can make your jewelry bright and shiny without the use of harsh solvents and chemicals. Use the dual-sided cloth to gently buff your jewelry as you would a delicate glass. Use the polishing side first and, then the other side to make your jewelry shine.

Before you buy a new piece of jewelry, research the latest trends. If there is one thing better than finding the perfect, most heart-stopping bauble, it would be snagging the piece at a wonderful price!

Make sure you take precautions to stop your jewelery from losing its shine. For example, avoid taking your jewelry somewhere it can get wet. Some metals will tarnish, dull or rust when exposed to water or perspiration. Clear nail polish, applied in a thin coat, can give jewelry some added protection.

If you are in the market to buy some silver jewelry, don't forget to take a magnet along with you. Magnets attract non-precious metals, and you can use this fact to detect fakes. In addition, sterling silver pieces are always stamped with silver hallmarks indicating such factors as the degree of purity, the manufacturer's symbol, and the date of manufacture. Some of the most common hallmarks are "925, "ster," "sterling," and "sterling silver." If there is no hallmark, watch its authenticity since it may be fake.

Think about what stones you would want before you purchase a new piece of jewelry. Pick out stones that will reflect your personality and complement your skin tone. If you choose a neutral color it will match anything you wear. It's a waste of time buying something that you won't wear regularly.

It is easy to find jewelry on sale. The best sales can offer deep discounts on premium pieces. You will find advertisements for the sales in a variety of media mediums including on the net, in newspapers, and also in the stores themselves. Purchasing a piece of jewelry that is recently out of style can save you nearly half of what you would have paid originally.

Costume jewelry needs special care. A lot of the stones in costume jewelery are glued in and not set in. Never immerse your costume jewelry or use harsh chemicals on it. Wiping it down with a damp, warm cloth and then drying it with another cloth is the best care for it. This will clean off any residue and make it look like new, without damaging it.

If you are in the market for new jewelry, look for sales! You can save a lot of money with the right sale. You will find advertisements for the sales in a variety of media mediums including on the net, in newspapers, and also in the stores themselves. Buying styles that are going out of fashion can be a huge money saver, even getting up to 50% off.

More desirable than a big piece is the cut and clarity of the diamond. Selling, owning or buying jewelry means you are investing in something that is nearly priceless, which in itself is the memory.
