1. Be sure to pay attention to details like type of metal and shape

This way, you know where you should start when buying a gift.

 

2. Keep your jewelry pieces looking beautiful by protecting them from tarnish

Keep your jewelry away from water. A lot of metals will rust, tarnish or dull when they come in contact with water. Apply clear nail polish to your jewelery as an added protection.

 

3. Pay attention to the quality and type of gemstones in a piece when you’re looking at buying new jewelry

Try to choose a stone that meshes well with your taste or personality. Also, consider what looks good on you. Neutral colors work better to match all your clothing. It will be of no value to you to purchase jewels that are not easy to incorporate into your lifestyle.

 

4. Know how to keep your jewelry beautiful

Each kind of setting, metal, and stone has its own particular maintenance need. A jewelry cleaner that is safe for one type of gemstone may damage another kind. When in doubt about the right way to maintain your jewelry, just ask a professional jeweler.

 

5. When you are buying jewelery for someone who is very different or eccentric, try going to a jeweler that will make you a piece that will fit their personality and add to their flair!

A unique piece to match their personality shows thoughtfulness and creativity, which is exactly what you want to express to a person you care enough about to buy jewelry for.

 

6. Apply your makeup and let it set before putting on jewelry.

Jewelry will get grimy from the makeup as you apply it, attracting dirt that will make it look dull. Earrings and necklaces are the prominent pieces affected by this.

 

7. Ask your jeweler before you make a purchse about what kinds of treatments were used on the gemstones in the piece.

A treatment will make a difference on how to care for your gemstone. Applying the wrong chemical when cleaning a gemstone can cause the protective treatment to dissolve, and damage the appearance of the gem.
