Almost all women love jewelry as a gift. If you need to find just the right jewelry gift but have no idea what to buy, this article is for you. Here are some suggestions for selecting and purchasing jewelry as a gift or for yourself.

Synthetic Stones

Know the type of gem you’re buying, when you buy it. Three different kinds of gems are available for purchase: imitation, synthetic and natural. While both natural and synthetic stones are still real, imitation is just glass or plastic made to look like the natural stone. The only difference between natural and imitation gemstones is where they are made. Natural occur naturally, while synthetic stones are grown in labs.

TIP! Clean all of your jewelry with a polishing cloth. In this way, you will not have to deal with chemicals or solvents while you achieve the shine you love.

Always compare prices before purchasing any diamonds. See what you like up close, and then compare it to other pieces that you look at. Look out for tricks that make the diamond look better than it is.

Make sure that you learn about the jeweler’s insurance policy prior to making any purchases. Many stores offer a policy where you can bring broken or damaged jewelry back to the original jeweler for repair at little to no cost. Some jewelers have insurance policies that cover lost of stolen jewelry, also.

If you are interested in collecting costume jewelry, be sure to stay conscious of the condition. Costume jewelery pieces can be expensive but they are not worth the investment if they look too old. Pieces that are in great shape will fetch you better prices down the road, should you choose to sell them.

TIP! Take a moment to consider how your valuable jewelry is stored and sorted. For best results, separate different pieces into different boxes, compartments or hooks.

Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry needs to be handled carefully. Many of the components of costume jewelry are glued into their settings rather than held in with prongs or other more permanent methods. Don’t submerge costume jewelry in water or clean it with abrasives. Wiping it down with a damp, warm cloth and then drying it with another cloth is the best care for it. This will ensure that all of your costume jewelry looks like it did the day you bought it.

A brooch will add an interesting aspect to the belt. You can add it anywhere on the belt that you think looks good.

TIP! Jewelry is best stored in an area with low humidity. Keep them stored safely in a closed, dark area, like a jewelry box or drawstring bag.

Put your make up on before the jewelery. Dirt and oil accumulate in the small crevices of jewelry, and can make it look dull and shabby. This is extra important when you are cleaning necklaces or earrings.

As was stated at the beginning of this article, jewelry can be the perfect gift for any woman. These tips can help you find the right jewelery that will complement the special lady in your life.
