Learning how to incorporate jewelry correctly into your wardrobe can be difficult. There is a huge amount of information available, and finding the best information may not seem to be worth the effort. Read all of the tips listed here to get a handle on how to choose jewelry.

Do not clean your jewelry with chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. Doing so can destroy enamel finishes, while clouding stones and crystals.

Take a magnet and a keen eye with you when you head out to purchase any jewelry made from sterling silver. You are able to detect fake pieces of sterling jewelry with a magnet, as non-precious metals are attracted by the magnet. Also, look to make sure that silver is hallmarked and stamped with .925, sterling or ster. If the piece you're inspecting doesn't carry such a mark, be careful, as it is likely a fake.

Esoteric people like to have handcrafted specialty pieces for presents. This means you have taken the time to think about the gift and make it as personal as possible. Customized jewelery will also help you convey the right message.

Do some research on the best way to clean your particular piece of jewelry. Metals, gemstones and settings all have different storage and cleaning requirements. What works for a certain kind of stone may not work for another. Speak with a knowlegeable jeweler if you do not know the best way to take care of your jewels.

Always look at a number of different places when you are shopping for diamonds. Take a good look at all the pieces that you like, examining them and comparing them to each other. There are many ways to make a diamond look better than it really is.

Shop the sales to get great jewelry on a budget. Finding a store offering extreme markdowns is a way to realize tremendous savings. You will find advertisements for the sales in a variety of media mediums including on the net, in newspapers, and also in the stores themselves. Sometimes, buying fashions that are out of style can save you more than half of their original price.

Investigate your gemstone to determine if it has been treated before you purchase it, and what type of treatment it had. You will need to know what type of care it might require as a result of the treatment. You do not want to try to clean a treated gem with a solution that may strip the treatment and damage the gem in the process.

Having read this, you should now know some tips to use when you are going to buy watches, necklaces, cuff links, etc. Keep these tips in mind when at the jewelers to save both time and money.
