THAN THE JEWELRY COSTUME JEWELLERY IS GOOD

How to find ideal ornament which will emphasize your faultless taste and extravagance, but also won't punch a huge gap in your budget? A right choice — qualitative jewelry costume jewelry with natural stones.

Metal

There is a delusion that jewelry has to be by all means made of pure silver and gold. However this axiom isn't obvious at all: pure metals on the properties (first of all, on hardness) are of little use for long socks. Therefore in jewelry branch alloys with copper, palladium, nickel and other metals are used. For example, silver 925 of test contains 92,5% of silver, and test gold 585 — only 58,5% of gold. And, the test is lower, the alloy is more solid.

The jewelry made entirely of non-noble metals — cupronickel, aluminum alloys, the titan or zirconium — is more available at the price, but according to external characteristics, of course, concedes to precious.

The jewelry costume jewelry which basis is made of alloy, strong, safe for health — brass, cupronickel, the titan, zirconium, aluminum, stainless steel which becomes covered in the galvanic way by a layer of precious metal became a compromise. This way is inexpensive in production and allows to reduce the price of the final product. At the same time ornament looks as though it is entirely made of precious metal — gold, silver, rhodium (precious metal from group of platinum) and keeps all his qualities: gloss, brightness and resistance to influence of chemically aggressive substances. However, with such jewelry it is necessary to be especially accurate, they aren't recommended to be cleaned with use of abrasives, and it is necessary to store everyone in the sack or a bag that it didn't rub about other jewelry.

At the choice of ornament pay attention to quality of production and convenience of locks, fastenings, other accessories. It is especially urgent for such products as earrings, chains and bracelets. Attentively examine accessories regarding integrity of a covering. For the rest approach to material of accessories has to be not less strict, than to ornament frame metal.

Jewelry inserts

In the ancient time jewelry inserts from color glasses were appreciated on an equal basis with natural stones, but now consumers nevertheless prefer gemstones. Since the 19th century in jewelry synthetic analogs of the known jewelry stones which aren't so simple for distinguishing from natural stones are used.

Glass imitations quickly lose gloss and become covered by a network of scratches. They can be determined by their hardness: the real jewelry stones are firmer than glass, and their side it is possible to leave scratch on glass. Hardness of plastic is even less, than at glass, but it must be kept in mind that there are also stones of a natural origin, similar in characteristics to plastic: amber, dug, gagate. In natural stones heterogeneity can often notice — inclusions of other minerals and the environment which has created them, cracks, changes of a shade. And here round vials of gas usually indicate that material is glass. Iridescent colors of sides of a jewelry insert speak about a metal dusting on her surface. Natural stones for jewelry so can't be processed.

There are some more ways of a research of jewelry stones, but the conclusion of the professional gemologist — the specialist in jewelry minerals can only be the authentic proof of authenticity of a stone. It can be ordered in special service or to request from shop seller.

Features of the choice

Choosing a stone, except external beauty of mineral pay attention to his resistance to mechanical damages, influence of chemicals and burning out.

Age and national traditions of carrying natural stones are of great importance. For example, in Russia it isn't accepted to give on a wedding and to carry pearls in the girlhood, and in Japan on the contrary the ornament presented to newlyweds from pearls promises happy marriage. Large gemstones on etiquette recommend to age women, and advise young girls to choose light and graceful jewelry.

But nevertheless the most true will be your personal intuitive choice — any thing which is pleasant personally to you, will always look on you it better, than imposed by the written rules.

Many generations of our ancestors used gemstones as means of payment. But also now jewelry with natural stones can become a favorable investment of money. However, not any gemstones but only the purest and yuvelirno valuable copies which only rise in price over time will be suitable for these purposes.

How not to buy a fake

Not to fall a victim of deception and to get a product which can use for many years it is necessary to buy jewelry not in transitions the subway and stalls with below cost prices, and in the jewelry and specializing in sale of costume jewelry shops. Here to you will be able according to the first requirement to provide the certificate of quality of production and with understanding will treat a possibility of conducting gemological examination by the buyer.

The seller has to provide a guarantee for return in case not authenticity of a stone or factory marriage is confirmed, for example. In case of detection of a production defect the shop guarantor will exchange or will return money, and also will pay independent examination of quality.
