  It doesn't matter whether you are a jewelry buyer or seller. You need to understand the ins and outs of the jewelry market, as well as how to care for pieces that come into your possession. You can make sure that the time and money you devote to your jewelry does not go to waste by reading this article's tips.
  
  You need to know the type of gem that you are purchasing. The types of gems available are synthetic, imitation and natural. Both synthetic and natural gems are real; however, imitation is simply plastic. The only difference between natural and imitation gemstones is where they are made. Natural occur naturally, while synthetic stones are grown in labs.
  
  Take off loose rings whenever you bathe, shower, or do the dishes or the laundry. That way, it is possible to prevent the rings from slipping off into the water and falling into the drain unnoticed.
  
  Comparison shopping is a must when shopping for diamonds. Take a good look at all the pieces that you like, examining them and comparing them to each other. Be careful of tricks that jewelers use to make a diamond look bigger or better.
  
  Though this is not an ideal cleaner, it will do the job if you have nothing else. Put a tiny amount of your toothpaste on a clean cloth. Rub the jewelry with the toothpaste, and then wipe or rinse it off with water. This does not produce ideal cleaning results, but it will get rid of tarnish.
  
  Unfortunately, if you are dead set on real gold jewelry, you will run into the problem of high prices. If you simply must have that gold ring, necklace or bracelet, be flexible in terms of karats. Eighteen karats means the piece contains seventy-five percent of gold: this remains affordable and looks like a luxury item.
  
  Don't swim wearing your jewelry. The chlorine in pool water is very harsh and may cause your fine jewelry to appear dull. Even ocean swimming is not good for jewelry. The salt is damaging. Lengthen the jewelry's life, and ensure it keeps its beauty by removing any precious items before entering the pool.
  
  If you're going swimming, make sure you take off your jewelery first. The chlorine in a pool can tarnish or corrode jewelry, decreasing its value. The salt in seawater will result in the same effect. By taking your jewelry off of your body before swimming, you will be protecting it from the harsh chlorine and salt.
  
  Properly cleaning jewelry is as important as storing it properly. Prior to cleaning your jewelry, check to ensure that there aren't any scratches or loose stones. If so, cleaning the item may actually make the problem worse. If you find out that there are damages, take them directly to the jeweler that is local to you for repair and cleaning.
  
  Clean the piece with a cloth that is only slightly damp to avoid loosening the stones. Don't forget to wipe the piece dry with another soft cloth. Avoid using steam cleaners or harsh chemicals with fashion or costume jewelry.
  
  Now that you've read this article, you know a little more about how to make wise jewelry purchases. Not only are you going to save yourself some time, but you also are going to save quite a few dollars by following the tips and tricks in this article.
