Tips to remember when buying jewelry.

1. Avoid any cutesy shapes, especially in pastel or bright colors. Animal pendants and little charm bracelets look childish and rarely look expensive.
2. Don't spend money on a necklace made from random beads on a piece of string that looks like you made it at home. Look for expertly designed beaded necklaces made of quality faux pearls and crystals, not necklaces made of plastic.
3. Look for even, crisp enamel work where the enamel meets the metal.
4. Choose jewelry that has weight appropriate to the style. A large pendant that is super light weight looks cheap when it is flopping around like it's made of aluminum foil. Heavier metals and stones feel more expensive and look better, too. Choose jewelry made with sturdy clasps and toggles that are made to last
5. Stay away from gem stones that look cheap. Vintage rhinestone necklaces have a lovely nostalgic feel, but take care to choose pieces that are in good condition.
6. Avoid a statement necklace that says the wrong things. Not all statement necklaces are created equal. Jazzing up an outfit with a huge, garish bib necklace is popular, but not stylish or sophisticated. Choose instead a quality necklace with a lovely pendant that you can wear for years, after the latest fad is over.
Wearing beautiful jewelry is part of your total look and how you look is the first glimpse of who you are.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
