If you are trying to find a great gift for a special woman, then jewelry is a great way to go. Take some advice here on choosing the perfect piece, no matter who you are buying for.
Steer clear of ammonia, bleach or other strong chemical solvents when you need to clean these items. This will result in damage to both the stones and the metal of the piece.
Keep your jewelry stored somewhere that is free from humidity or air. Trying putting them in a box with a tight-fitting lid or a bag that has a drawstring closure. Air and humidity will make the metals in jewelry tarnish. Precious metals can often be polished to remove most tarnish. Non-precious metals often have a single coat of metal. Therefore, polishing them can remove the coat and show the copper that is found underneath.
You could wear it for a day to make sure it is not uncomfortable. Doing this also helps you see if the jewelery is long lasting or likely to break easily.
Before buying a new item of jewelry, do a little research on recent trends. Getting a great deal on beautiful bauble makes getting it even more enjoyable.
Put your make up on before the jewelery. The grime and dust in makeup are attracted to the jewelry, and if you put on the jewelry before the cosmetics, it can cause the pieces to look dull. Especially keep this tip in mind for necklaces or earrings.
Costume jewelry should be treated differently than your other jewelry. A lot of the stones in costume jewelery are glued in and not set in. Don’t immerse costume jewelry in water or use chemicals on it. The best way to maintain your costume jewelry is to use a moist, warm cloth first, then dry it off with another cloth. This will help your costume jewelry to continue looking great.
The preceding jewelry tips will help when you are looking for pieces that are just right for you. There is such a vast range of jewelry to pick from that it can all be a bit overwhelming. So make sure you do a little homework before you go shopping.
