Genuine handcrafted silver jewelry is as beautiful as it is unique. Whether you're looking for pieces to add to your collection or are shopping for gifts, there are excellent online sources for handmade earrings, přívěsky, prsteny, barrettes, a náhrdelníky. For a wonderful buying experience, follow these five tips.
1. Find a reputable source. This may go without saying, but don't confuse commercially manufactured jewelry with handcrafted silver jewelry. The latter is made by artisans that take great pride in their work. It's helpful to look for a company that has been in business for decades, and that has been selling online for at least five years.
2. Take advantage of customization. When jewelry is handmade, it can be customized in any number of ways, from the lengths of chains to the types of gemstones used in pendants and rings. You don't need to settle for "almost good enough." Místo toho, you can get the piece you've always dreamed of, in exactly the right size.
3. Measure carefully. Because customized pieces generally aren't returnable, it's important to make sure that the fashion handcrafted jewelry you order will fit. It only takes a few minutes to get a good measurement, and doing so will ensure that the necklace or ring you order will be exactly what you want. For rings, ask a friend to take a piece of string, put it around the knuckle or largest part of your finger, and mark the string. To determine the size, hold the string against a tape measure and compare your measurement to the website's sizing chart. If you're in between sizes, it's best to go with the larger size. You can also use string to measure for bracelet, náhrdelník, or anklet lengths.
4. Do your gemstone research. The best online jewelry sites have a wealth of information on gemstones. Before you order, read up on the gemstones you are considering. It's important to know, například, that aquamarine can be cleaned with dishwashing detergent, but that ultrasonic and steam cleaning may damage the stone. Podobně, you may know that pearls are delicate and can easily absorb liquids, but you might not know that turquoise is also porous and can easily become stained.
If you're going to order statement jewelry with gemstones, it's also crucial to know whether the stones are natural or if their colors have been enhanced. Reputable artisans will freely share this information. Don't be alarmed, však, if the stones have been heated or irradiated to intensify or change their colors. Naturally colored rubies, safíry, a topaz, například, jsou mimořádně vzácné; je to uznávaná praxe v klenotnickém průmyslu ke zvýraznění barev drahokamů.
5. Investujte do skutečného. Stříbrné šperky jsou nádherné, ale pouze pokud je to pravé stříbro. Ujistěte se, že online klenotnictví, které vyberete, používá buď mincovní stříbro (.925 nebo 92.5 procenta stříbra) nebo jemné stříbro (99.9 procent čistého stříbra). Když investujete do ručně vyráběných stříbrných šperků, nekupujete jen kousek, který si budete vážit, ale takové, které se pravděpodobně stane dědictvím pro budoucí generace.
