Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror and feel like there is just something that is missing? Your colors all match, and your shoes are divine. However, something is just not there. Then the answer finally comes to you; you aren’t wearing any jewelry. You do not need to wear a lot of jewelry to stylize your outfit. Sometimes a simple piece of jewelry is enough to change the overall look of your outfit.
Do not use any chemicals on your jewelery stones. Harsh chemicals will dull your stones and dissolve the enamel on your jewelry.
The metals in jewelry can tarnish if exposed to humid air, so you will want to store them in a way that protects them. A box designed especially for jewelry gives the best protection, but a cloth bag can also work. Certain metals begin to tarnish when exposed to humidity. Precious metals can easily be polished, but non-precious metal needs a special polish.
Sterling Silver
When purchasing sterling silver, take along a good magnifying glass, along with a small magnet. Precious metals, like sterling silver, will not be attracted to the magnet. Also, look to make sure that silver is hallmarked and stamped with .925, sterling or ster. If there is no marking on the piece, it may not be sterling silver.
Think about how best ways to look after your jewelry. Each type of stone, metal, and setting requires different type of care. What is beneficial to one stone or setting may hurt another. If you can’t find information about caring for a specific piece of jewelry, consult a trusted jeweler.
