How to Select and Build a Fine Jewelry Wardrobe That You Love

Tuel Jewelers can help you build a fine jewelry wardrobe in the same way you build a clothing wardrobe. Start with pieces that have classic shapes and look appropriate with different outfits, then add pieces that offer versatility or have a fashion touch. Some classic jewelry every woman should own include diamond earrings or a long pearl necklace that can be wrapped to various sizes; men's staple jewelry accessories include a fine watch and a set of gold, silver, or black cufflinks. Your jewelry wardrobe should be as unique as you are and express your personal fashion and everyday wardrobe.

Things to Look for When Shopping for Fine Jewelry

When buying a piece of fine jewelry, be sure to inspect it carefully for quality construction. Make sure the catches of fasteners work easily but are secure. The backs of pins and earring posts should be strong and firmly attached, with no soldering marks visible. Lay chains flat and make sure the links don’t kink or bend. Pricing is based on four factors: metal purity, gem materials, weight, design, and craftsmanship. Remember that each piece of fine jewelry is unique and, if cared for properly, can last a lifetime.
