Accessorizing with jewelry is a skill and an art! The dos and don'ts for jewelry can change over time. Learning what to do need not be intimidating! Following is some of the information available to guide you with your choice of jewelry:
Ring
If you are looking for the perfect anniversary gift for your wife, take the classic route and opt for gorgeous jewelry with stones that correspond with the traditional anniversary year. To celebrate years 1 through 5, look for jewelry with gold, garnet, pearl, blue topaz, and sapphire, respectively. These stones look stunning on a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings.
If you plan to purchase a designer ring from an online jeweler or an auction site like eBay, you should first check the size of the ring before committing to purchase it. If the ring is not your size, determine whether or not it can be sized. If so, be sure to inquire about the price of sizing.
If you want to purchase a piece of jewelry that is sentimental and not necessarily ornate, opt for a solid sterling silver, white gold, or platinum band without stones. Have a name, date, or personal message engraved on the inside of the ring, pendant, or bracelet to add an inspiring, personalized touch.
Try on jewelry before buying it. Don't be afraid to ask the sales clerk if you can try on that ring, even if it's behind the intimidating glass. There is not other way to know if it will fit, and how it will look against your skin tone. You don't want to get home and realize that you've made a pricey mistake.
When choosing jewelry for an outfit, think about not only what color or colors your clothes are, but also what color your jewelry is. If you're wearing a necklace on a silver chain, try to pair it with a silver ring or earrings with silver findings. Try to avoid mixing different colored metals unless you have a single piece, such as a watch, that combines both.
If you are in the market for a ring and want platinum, consider white gold instead. The two types of metals are very similar in appearance, and it's likely no one will know the difference if you are wearing white gold instead of platinum. Platinum costs almost twice as much as white gold, so your selection could drastically affect your pocket book.
A relatively recent popular trend is the rise of the "mood ring" or other such indicative jewelry, often made with liquid crystals that change their color in response to changes in body temperature. They are quite popular especially among children and teens, and can match many outfits because of their changing color.
When buying jewelry is it important to know what you are looking for. Before you go into the jewelry shop be sure to know the language that jewelers use. If you aren't careful salesman will grab you and you will be buying a ring before you know it. Be sure and shop around before making a purchase!
So, now do you have some ideas? Enjoy your choice of jewelry! If you see some tips that will be of value to you that is great! Remember, accessorizing need not be intimidating!
