Have you ever gotten dressed up but still felt something was missing when you looked in the mirror? Although having great looking clothes and matching shoes is wonderful, your outfit isn’t complete. The answer could be appropriate jewelry. Even the simplest piece of jewelry can pull your outfit together.

 

1. Try using a polishing cloth on all of the jewelry in a collection. This is a fairly simple way to achieve shine without dealing with solvents and chemicals. You just have to polish each piece the same as you would polish glass using the two-sided cloth. One side is designed to polish, and the other is used to make the piece shine.

2. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia and acetone that may permanently damage your jewelry. This will result in damage to both the stones and the metal of the piece.

3. Jewelry should be stored in an air-tight and humid free area. Trying putting them in a box with a tight-fitting lid or a bag that has a drawstring closure. Being submitted to extreme humidity and temperature can cause your pieces to 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.

4. Make sure you know what kind of gem you are getting when you are buying jewelry. There are three unique types of stones: imitation, synthetic and natural. Imitation gems are made out of glass or plastic; natural and synthetic gems both consist of real gemstone. Natural stones are found in mines, while synthetic stones are produced by machines.

5. Make sure a piece of jewelry is still in style before you buy it. If there is one thing better than a beautiful piece of jewelry, it’s finding that jewelry at a great price!

6. Give the jewelry a little test drive and wear it for a little bit to see if it is comfortable and lays right. It will also allow you to see if the item is durable enough.

7. There are a lot of different types of stones to think about getting when buying new jewelry. Certain stones will do a better job of complementing your skin tone and your personality than others. Choosing neutral colors can help them match anything you wear. As long as you’re spending money, it makes more sense to purchase something that is functional as well as beautiful.

8. To complete your address, you will want to find the best piece of jewelery. There is a type and style of jewelry that goes with any outfit you decide to wear, whether you are trying to look fun, classy, or professional. Try adding a piece of jewelery to your outfit everyday.
