If you are searching for items to build your collection or are looking for gifts, there are excellent ;sources online to find handmade necklaces, barrettes, pendants, rings and earrings.
Real handmade silver jewelry is as gorgeous as unique. For the best buying experience, follow these important tips.
1. Locate a reputable supplier. This could not need to be said, but don’t mix this up with commercially manufactured jewellery with handmade silver jewellery. The handmade type is designed by artisans which take pride in what they do. It’s helpful to look for a company that has been in business for decades, and that has been selling on the internet for several years.
2. Benefit from customization. When jewelry is handcrafted, it can be custom designed in any number of ways, from the size of chains to the types of stones used in rings and pendants. You don’t have to accept “barely good enough.” On the contrary, you can receive the piece you’ve always dreamed of, in exactly the perfect size.
3. Measure carefully. Because custom designed pieces usually can’t be returned, it’s important to assure that the handcrafted silver jewelry that you place an order for will fit. For rings, ask a pal to take some string, put it around the knuckle or largest part of your finger, and mark the string. To figure the size, hold the string up to a tape measure and compare your measurement to the site’s sizing chart. If you’re in the middle of sizes, it’s best to go the larger size. You can also use this for a bracelet, a necklace, and anklets.
4. Research your gemstones. The top online jewelry websites have tonnes of data on gemstones. Before you order, read up on the gems you are thinking about. It’s vital to know, for instance, that aquamarine can be cleaned with dishwashing detergent, but using steam and ultrasonic cleaning may damage the stone.
If you plan to order jewellery with gemstones, it’s also crucial to know if the gems are natural or if their color has been altered.
5. Invest in the real things. Silver jewelry is beautiful, but only if it’s real silver. Make sure the online source you decide on uses either fine silver (99.9 percent pure silver) or sterling silver (.925 or 92.5 percent silver.
