It’s not always easy to find quality information about jewelry, nor is it always easy to incorporate this information into your daily life. The sheer amount of jewelry information available can make it all seem not worth the effort. Luckily, all the hottest tips are in this one article.

Do not clean your jewelry with chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. Natural acids won’t erode the enamel on your copper jewelry the way harsh chemicals can.

Bring a magnet when shopping for sterling silver jewelery. Magnets attract non-precious metals, and you can use this fact to detect fakes. True sterling sliver always has some sort of hallmark stamp on it, such as .925, sterling or ster. If there is no hallmark, watch its authenticity since it may be fake.

Observe them and see what jewelry pieces the happen to be wearing, such as necklaces, earrings, or rings. Also take note of any metals or stones they seem to prefer. This will give you a good idea of where to start when purchasing that special item.

Before you buy anything new, found out about the latest trend. It is one thing to get a gorgeous bauble, but it is another to get it on sale!

When purchasing jewelry from a respected jeweler, inquire as to whether they offer an insurance policy. If something happened to your jewelery, you can take it back and see if they will fix it! Many jewelers also have insurance for lost or stolen pieces.

Test it out by wearing it yourself; you don’t want to give a piece that will be uncomfortable or awkward for the recipient. By wearing it yourself, you can also gauge the ruggedness of the piece.

It is a good idea to determine the best approaches for jewelry care. Depending on the metals and stones used in your jewelry, along with how they are set, you will need different maintenance methods. What can be beneficial to one type of stone can actually cause harm to another. Go ahead and ask a professional jeweler to find out exactly how you should be caring for your jewels.

Apply your makeup and let it set before putting on jewelry. Makeup will settle into your jewelry making it look dull and dingy. It is especially important to keep this in mind when putting on earrings and necklaces.

Before buying jewelry or a fine stone, find out if it was treated in any way. If it was, find out how. Gemstone treatment can affect the type of care the piece needs. For example, improper cleaning with the wrong method may damage the stone by stripping the treatment.

Buy jewelry on sale whenever possible. You can save a lot of money with the right sale. Check for great sales online, in the newspaper, and even storefront windows. You can occasionally get fading fashion styles for a fraction of their original prices.

Staying educated is a great way to ensure you know exactly what you must to select great jewelry and keep it in amazing condition. The tips above will let you actually do stuff with your jewelry rather than searching for information on how to do that stuff. These tips that you have learned will help you be successful when it comes to jewelery.
