1. How To Know If Your Diamond Jewelry Is Real Or Fake
It takes some know-how to choose the best jewelry pieces. This can make you wonder where
to begin.
Both types of saunas, dry and steam, should be avoided when wearing jewelry. Sweat, heat
and water, can all damage jewelry. Even if permanent damage does not occur, wearing your
jewelry during these activities increases the need to clean it.
16 inches is the standard length for choker necklaces, so this is the size to choose when
shopping. 16 inches is the commonly acceptable length, but if you want something more
specific, measure your neck then subtract an inch or less from that number. This technique
will result in an excellent fit.
A brooch will add a little character to your belt. Try pinning it at the center of your waist or
near your hip.
Comparison shopping for diamonds is critical. No diamond is without its flaws, and every
piece is unique. Sometimes an imperfection isn't so important, but you need to see the
diamond in person to determine this. Also, each jeweler can price point a little bit differently
based on the flaws. To find a good diamond within your budget, really do your homework and
shop around.
To keep the setting strong, use a cloth that is slightly damp to safely clean the piece. Then
polish the entire jewelry piece with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid exposing your costume jewelry to
steam cleaners or chemicals.
For a radiant and striking look, opt for diamonds in an illusion setting. Illusion settings
enhance your diamond by placing a small mirrored plate under your diamond. The diamond
reflects off the plate, and the result is a splashy, sparkly diamond that looks larger than it is.
The only downside to this setting comes at repair time as it can cause some challenges.
Before you go to purchase a new piece of jewelry, decide on your budget and commit to
following it. Setting a price limit will help to narrow down your choices and make your search
easier.
Learn how to unravel a knotted necklace, even one with delicate loops. It's easy to get
frustrated when trying to get the knots out of a badly tangled necklace, but try using some
plastic wrap before you call it quits. Lay the necklace out on plastic wrap, then apply baby or
mineral oil. Untangle it with some needles. Wash with dish soap and pat dry.
You will increase the sentimental and actual value of your jewelry with proper care and
maintenance. When you protect your jewelry you help protect both your investment and your

better.
