 Joma Jewellery Girl,  http://tristanxz.bloggplatsen.se/gilla/?url=http://www.joma-jewellery.info/. The purchase of jewelry often times denotes a very important event in our lives, whether it be a marriage, and engagement, an anniversary, or a gift to get us over the hump so to speak. Don't be left in the cold and not knowing anything about jewelry. This article will offer some tips when it comes to jewelry.

Only purchase jewelry from well known retailers. If you are looking to purchase gold, silver or platinum make sure that the retailer has a professional set up and that their products come with a guarantee. Do not purchase from unknown vendors who claim that the jewelry they are selling at a discount price is made from real precious metals or gemstones, they are often imported fakes.

A great source for unique and inexpensive jewelry pieces are local thrift shops.  Local thrift stores can be a treasure trove for antique and truly unusual pieces. Often, these establishments do not have the staff, training or time, that is necessary to check for hallmarks or gold and silver content. A few dollar's investment can often yield, not only some really unique pieces of jewelry, but also some pieces that may be, quite valuable.

To dress up a knit top or a T-shirt, pair it with a long necklace that has a simple style. Long necklaces will add visual interest to your top, but keeping them basic will prevent them from overpowering your look. Try wearing thin layered necklaces or a necklace with a Y-shape.

If wearing earrings makes your ears feel itchy or irritated, ensure that you buy nickel-free jewelry in the future. Nickel is often used in inexpensive costume jewelry, but it can be very irritating to some people. Look for earrings with solid gold or platinum posts for the most hypoallergenic option.

Use an egg to antique your sterling silver jewelry. Just boil the egg, chop it up, and put it in a bag with your silver piece. In a few hours your jewelry will change colors and then you can polish it to a beautiful antiqued look. This is an effective method because egg contains sulfur, and sulfur causes the reaction when mixed with sterling silver.

If you are truly in love with a piece of costume jewelry, even if it is in less than good condition, it is okay to spend the money on it. A piece that you will treasure is more of an investment than the monetary cost of an item, so splurging can be allowed.

Study current jewelry trends prior to shopping for a piece. It is better to get a gorgeous bauble on sale!

When you need money quickly you may want to consider selling your jewelry to a local pawn shop. Many pawn shops will allow you to sell your jewelry to them and then they give you a certain amount of time to come back to retrieve it. It is a way to get the money you need with the ability to get your jewelry back if you choose.

May's birthstone is the intense green stone known as emerald. If you truly want to express your devotion to a certain special person, be prepared to pay dearly as this particular stone is very hard to come by. Fortunately, emeralds can be created in a lab and are a gorgeous and affordable alternative that would make an ideal pendant or right-hand ring.

Whether you are buying jewelry for that special someone on that  special occasion, or just a casual buyer, the more you know the better. With so many different types and specifications it never hurts to be knowledgeable. This article hopefully gave some guidance when it comes to making that all important jewelry selection.
