When buying diamonds, remember to shop around. Every diamond is unique, and there will always be tiny flaws.

There are very good reasons why rubies are among the most popular gems to be used in high quality jewelry. Although rubies are red, there are many different variations of red ranging from maroon to deep rose pink. Rubies are very durable and withstand considerable wear and tear. Rubies are a good choice because they are both beautiful and strong.
When storing your jewelry, be sure that you store it in a place with low humidity and free of open air. Store jewelry in a sealed box or drawstring pouch for the best protection. Air and humidity will make the metals in jewelry tarnish. It's possible to restore precious metals through polishing, but lesser-quality metals may suffer permanent damage.
Untangle your knotted necklaces, even the delicate ones. Believe it or not, you can use plastic wrap to untangle jewelry. After you place the necklace on top of the wrap, cover it in baby oil. Untangle it with the use of a needle. When finished, wash it with a little dishwashing liquid and pat dry.

If you clean your jewelry over a sink, always ensure that the plug is in the drain first. It is very common for people to lose expensive jewelry by dropping it down the sink's drain. Putting a plug in the drain will prevent this from happening, even if you do manage to drop it.
Put on the jewelry to see if it hangs correctly, then wear it for a few hours to test the comfort. Doing this also tells you how well it stands up to normal daily wear.
You should expect good jewelry to last the rest of your life, and possibly beyond. When choosing your next piece of jewelry, be sure to deal with a reputable dealer to ensure you attain a high-quality piece. If a piece of jewelry is of high quality, it should be made well and exhibit top-flight craftsmanship. Make sure the jeweler is able to tell you the history of the piece, including who created it and where any stones come from. Unless you purchase jewelry that is of high-quality, the piece is not likely to last a lifetime.
Do not use harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, turpentine or acetone to clean them. Doing so can destroy enamel finishes, while clouding stones and crystals.
You should take good care of your hands and keep them attractive if you enjoy wearing rings. To keep the focus on your pretty rings and not your unkempt hands, keep your nails manicured or at least trimmed and buffed and use hand creams to keep your skin soft and supple.
A magnet is a useful tool when shopping for jewelry in sterling silver. You can tell if a piece of silver is sterling or not by using a magnet. Sterling will not react to the magnet, but non-precious metals will be attracted. Another way to tell if a metal is sterling silver is to check for a hallmark stamp, for example .sterling, .ster, or .925. If the piece that you are looking at is not hallmarked, this is usually the sign that it is a fake.
Now that you have finished reading, you should be more knowledgeable about many different aspects of jewelry. Use this advice to become a savvier jewelry shopper and owner.
