Women's Jewelry

By Stephen P Renoldson


Old jewelry can feel outdated, tarnished, and well, just plain old. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Vintage is very "in" these days and many old pieces can be turned into something new with just a small amount of work. In this article, we will discuss some of the best tips for re-purposing your old pieces.

If you are purchasing jewelry for a significant other, keep in mind the status of your relationship. A gift of jewelry may signify a change in the seriousness of your relationship that you are not ready for yet. Purchase a piece that is indicative of your current status with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Do not be afraid to buy silver jewelry. Gold items are incredibly expensive right now, and silver is "in". Search for products that are labeled as sterling silver because they have a large amount of the metal in them. Not only will you save money, but you will have the opportunity to buy a nice piece of jewelry that you might have missed otherwise.

Use jewelry to add a signature flair to your wardrobe. Fashion accessories give a unique stamp to classic silhouettes that are worn by many people. How you adorn this classic look is what makes it yours. Let your jewelry reflect your personal style whether its bohemian and eclectic or clean and simple.

One of the most important things you can do while shopping for jewelry is to shop around. Salesman will try and commit you to a purchase before you leave their shop. Be sure and be firm and tell them that you will return if you don't find a better offer.

When selecting jewelry for a child, make sure it is an item that can grow with them. You may have to have it sized up in time, but an item they would be happy to wear as an adult will last them a lifetime. Choose classic styles with timeless elegance.

One easy way to give old brooches a new life is to use them as buckles on everything from hats to pants to purses. While brooches worn the intended way may look outdated, a decorative brooch clipped onto a plain hat, scarf or purse makes for an eye-catching and unexpected accent.

When you walk into a jewelry shop you are immediately approached by a salesperson. Do not be afraid to ask for a second to talk to your partner about this important financial decision. Take a few steps away from the glass and discuss they options without the salesperson whispering in your ear. Make sure that it is the decision you want to make.

When you are giving pearls to a significant other, you must do detective work as soon as you have an idea of the type of pearls you will purchase. The real challenge is finding out exactly what that piece of jewelry should be. You should try to notice what kind of pearls your significant other wears to get an idea of the piece of jewelry you should purchase.
