To keep jewelry safe, avoid putting it all in a jewelry box that sits out as a decorative piece in your home. Nothing says, “Come grab me, I am filled with expensive stuff!”� to thieves quite like a displayed jewelry box. If you want more access to your jewelry than a safety deposit box allows, and a professionally installed wall safe isn’t an option, get creative and hide your jewelry within objects not likely to even be touched by thieves. Air-tight containers can be be tucked inside plant pots or diaper pails, hollow out a book to form a secret compartment, or stash a small case at the bottom of a box of tampons! You need to think like a thief to avoid being taken advantage by a thief.
When selling jewelry online, you should aim to give your customers custom work that makes them feel like your piece of jewelry was created just for them.

If you are looking to buy an expensive piece of jewelry, try to buy during an off period. Because demand is higher around holidays, especially Valentines Day, avoid buying at these times. By buying during off periods, you can save yourself quite a lot of money, or even use it as an investment and sell it in a time of high demand, at an increased price.
For the holidays, dress up a plain pair of solid colored pumps with a set of vintage earrings. Just attach them to the front of the “throat” of the shoe – just above the toe. This will give your party shoes a little bit of holiday sparkle and flair.
Do your best to stick to your budget when purchasing jewelry. There is no reason to take on debt because of a shiny ring or fancy necklace.

Matching your jewelry to your personal style helps you maintain a unique, yet tasteful look. There are a lot of jewelry makers on the market that are making unique and progressive designs. These pieces range in price making them affordable for every budget. Take the time to shop around for pieces that appeal to you in style and price.
Your jewelry should be removed prior to and during completion of daily chores and cleaning. Many household cleaners and chemicals are very caustic and can significantly compromise the quality of gold and silver, as well as that of the more colorful gems like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. If you cannot remove rings, you should wear thick, protective gloves on each hand.
The size of your jewelry in relation to that of your body is very important in creating the right overall balance and aesthetic. For example, if you have a petite build, do not wear large pieces of jewelry as they will not compliment your physique or add to your outfit in a positive way.
Jewelry is above all a matter of taste, but you can do your best to use jewelry as a way of displaying a certain aspect of your personality or to express your feelings towards someone. After reading these tips, you should have a better idea of the subtle nuances behind jewelry.
