Try using a polishing cloth on all of the jewelry in a collection. This is an easy way to get shine without chemicals and solvents. Just polish each piece with the special cloth in the same way you would polish a piece of glass. Use the side of the cloth that is designed for polishing to remove fingerprints, dust and other surface imperfections, and then use the opposite side to buff the jewelry and make it gleam.
Store your jewelry carefully. Use a box that has several different compartments and hooks to keep your pieces apart. Do not ever just throw them in a pile. This can harm delicate parts, and tangle some pieces with others, like necklaces.
Keep your jewelery in a space that is dry and doesn’t have any air flow. It’s best to store it in a closed box, like a jewelry box, or a drawstring bag. Certain metals will be tarnished when exposed to humidity or air. While precious metals can be polished back to their original luster, non-precious metals are only coated in which case polishing causes the copper metal underneath to show through.
Always shop around when buying a diamond. Take a close look at a truly top notch diamond, and then hold everything else you consider to that standard. With diamonds, you need to have a keen eye because of the many tricks people will use to enhance it.
Now that you know the basics of jewelry selection, you will be able to spot the best specimens of any type of jewelry, from gemstones to precious metals. A beautiful jewelry piece is an investment that has proven itself over time to be an excellent choice.
