Doing so can damage the shine and luster of the stones on your favorite pieces.

Be sure that you store all of your jewelry safely away from air and humidity. A box designed especially for jewelry gives the best protection, but a cloth bag can also work. Air and humidity will make the metals in jewelry tarnish. Precious metal jewelry can be polished to fix tarnish, but non-precious metals coated with a finish will never get back to their previous state.

Arm yourself with a magnet and a magnifying glass when shopping for sterling silver jewelry. By using the magnet you can quickly determine if the jewelry item is made of a cheaper metal and not sterling silver. Sterling silver will always be hallmarked with a stamp such as .925, ster. or sterling. If the piece is not hallmarked in any way, be leery of its authenticity because oftentimes it is a sign of a fake.

Look at what they are wearing now. Do they like hoops or studs? Does the person prefer chokers or loose fitting necklaces? This way, you know where you should start when buying a gift.

When buying jewelry, think about what kind of stone would be right. Certain stones will do a better job of complementing your skin tone and your personality than others. Neutral colors work better to match all your clothing. Do not buy something if it does not work for you.

Buying jewelry is better if you keep watch for sales. If the deal is good, you may be able to save some serious money! Check for the best sales in the paper, online, and in store windows. Keep an eye out for deep discounts on jewelry styles that are nearing the end of their popularity. The price is right for what is still a lovely piece of jewelry.

Every diamond is unique and they all have slight imperfections. When you see the diamond in person, the flaws, of course, can become much less important. A jeweler will individually price the diamond based on a multitude of factors, any flaws being one of them. Shop several different jewelers to find the ideal diamond in your price range.

You will need to take special care when you are buying costume jewelery! These pieces are often put together with glue, which does not last as long as other methods. Don't submerge costume jewelry in water or clean it with abrasives. The best way to maintain your costume jewelry is to use a moist, warm cloth first, then dry it off with another cloth. This will make your costume jewelry sparkle for weeks, months, or even years.
