A Simple Guide To Purchasing Fine Jewelry


The concept of jewelry is nearly as beautiful as physical pieces of jewelry are themselves. Milestones and major life events are often celebrated with jewelry, creating an unforgettable memory for both the giver and the recipient. As your knowledge of jewelry increases, so too will your appreciation of jewelry.


Be sure that you store all of your jewelry safely away from air and humidity. A jewelry box or drawstring bag out of a humid area is ideal. Air and humidity can cause the metals that the jewelry are made of to tarnish. Precious metals are capable of being polished until they are like new, while non-precious metals will not be able to be saved. This is because the non-precious metals are simple copper metal coated with the covering of precious metals, and when polished, they will allow the copper to show through.


When shopping for genuine sterling silver jewelry, you need both a discerning eye and a small magnet. You are able to detect fake pieces of sterling jewelry with a magnet, as non-precious metals are attracted by the magnet. You can generally tell genuine sterling silver by its stamp, which will look something like “.925 ster.” If your silver is not marked, it could be because it is not real!


Identify the kind of stone in every piece you consider. Natural gems and imitation gems have been joined recently by synthetic gems, making three main categories. Natural and synthetic gemstones are both actual gemstones, while an imitation gemstone is just a plastic mold made to look like a gemstone. Natural stones are found underground and synthetic gems are created in a lab.


You get more than an investment when you acquire jewelry; you get a special memory. When an item of jewelry becomes an heirloom, it carries the emotions of it’s wearers from generation to generation – both sad and joyous.
