Insider Tips For Buying Jewelry



~Are your baubles tucked away in a dark jewelry box, silently gathering dust?
~Are many of your jewelry pieces dated - bought during the height of long past fashion trend waves?
~Do you have favorite pieces with sentimental value, but you never wear them because they don't fit your present wardrobe?
~Would you like to renew and improve your jewelry collection?


If you answer yes to any of these questions, then it's time for a redirect in the way you choose your personal adornment.
Insider tips for freshening up your collection of jewelry:

1. The paramount reason for making a jewelry purchase is because you love it! When you first lay eyes on that spectacular piece, you are immediately and thoroughly seduced by it. It is a must have. Buy it! Don't walk away without that piece of new treasure.
2. Collect jewelry that makes a statement! All jewelry has a story to tell...it may be details of extraordinary craftsmanship or the ingenious use of exotic materials. Can you see the dreams of the artist who made this jewelry?
3. Be adventurous! Don't wait for a special occasion to buy jewelry. Purchase your jewels with the intent to take daily pleasure in them. Make everyday a champagne and jewelry celebration!
4. Develop your personal style. This will never go out of fashion. Don't be afraid to experiment until you find that chord of self authenticity...be a true original. Your jewelry language will only get better as you define and refine your own life story.
5. Repurpose your older jewelry. Pick out several of your sentimental favorites (the pieces you never wear) and take them to a jeweler who will create one new redesigned piece using your old pieces of jewelry. This is an excellent way to breathe new life into your valuable gemstones and precious metals.
5. Buy luxurious quality in your jewelry. This is never an extravagance. The value of fine art luxury jewelry is long lived, appreciating over time. If it makes you feel good, if it makes you happy, if you desire it, buy it! You are worth it.
6. Inspiration! Great art, whether in couture, jewelry or master paintings has the ability to stir the soul. Let yourself and those around you be inspired by the jewelry you choose to wear.
