Jewelry has been used for an extremely long time and there are literally millions of designs to choose from. The information below can get you started on choosing a jewelry that you’re proud to wear.
Do not clean your jewelry with chemicals such as bleach or ammonia. Harsh chemicals can destroy the enamel, and ruin the stones in your jewelry.
This can dull your stones and the metal of the piece.
Precious Metal
If you are shopping unmarked sterling silver jewelry, then by all means bring a magnet. Magnets attract non-precious metals, and you can use this fact to detect fakes. You can generally tell genuine sterling silver by its stamp, which will look something like “.925 ster.” Be wary of pieces that lack any silver hallmarks, as this is an indication that they’re not genuine sterling silver.
