Therefore, jewelry is a great gift idea for any woman. Keep reading for some insightful tips on

selecting, wearing or caring for jewelry.

Be careful when storing all your jewelry together. It is better to use boxes, compartments,

holders, and hooks for keeping pieces separate. Throwing the jewelry together into the

jewelry box is a no-no. Not only can this harm the fine and fragile pieces, but things like

necklaces can get severely tangled up with other necklaces or other jewelry.

What color gold do they seem to favor - white or yellow? Do they normally wear a bracelet?

What type of earrings do they prefer - drop and dangle or studs? Take a mental note of this

important information. This will give you a good idea of where to start when purchasing that

special item.

Wear the jewelry around for a day or so to be sure that it fits right and is comfortable. This

also helps you to see its durability.

Try on a few different stones when you are shopping for jewelry. Pick out stones that will

reflect your personality and complement your skin tone. Think about how the stones will work

with your style, and pick neutral colors that go with everything in your wardrobe. A piece that

is hard to wear is not as useful as one that goes with everything.

It's great that you love costume jewelry, but make sure you evaluate the condition of any

piece you plan to buy. Costume jewelry is pricey and can retain its value in many cases, but

pieces that are damaged aren't worth much and aren't worth the time to restore. Compare

pieces for quality, because good ones stay high or even grow in value over time.

Remember that even costume jewelry needs careful attention. That's because a lot of the

costume settings are not set-in; they have usually been glued. For this reason, costume

jewelry should never touch water, and you should avoid using detergents on it. The most

effective way to safely clean them is wiping with a damp cloth, then drying with a different,

soft cloth. This will make your costume jewelry sparkle for weeks, months, or even years.

Ask your jeweler before you make a purchse about what kinds of treatments were used on

the gemstones in the piece. Care for your gemstone is different, depending on how it was

previously treated. You don't want to clean them with a type of solution that could strip the

treatment or damage the gem.

If you are selling jewelry on the Internet, you should present these pieces as attractively as

possible. Visuals are particularly important because customers cannot physically see or

touch jewelery when they buy online. Take your jewelry photographs in a manner that

focuses only on the piece, not anything in the background, and keep the background very

plain.

You can use a brooch to make your belt stand out, since it is sure to be eye-catching. Pin it in

the front or at your hip.

You can see in this article that jewelry can make the difference by giving your outfit a finished

look. Jewelry comes in many different styles, including those for the office, for the formal

dinner, and for the dance floor. Use jewelry with your outfit when you go out next time to

make sure that you look fantastic.
