Most Common Jewelry Mistakes

Here are mistakes that make jewelry connoisseurs cringe.

Whether you are a jewelry collector or someone who owns a few pieces of jewelry, caring for them is essential to make them look brand new for longer. However, some people may be unaware that they are making mistakes in jewelry care. If you want to make sure you aren’t one of them, we’ve listed down the common mistakes people make with their jewelry.

Not researching on the jewelry before buying them.

If you plan on buying gemstone jewelry, make sure to do a research about them before purchase. This is because natural crystals have different kinds of hardness. If you are active in sports or basically in any kind of activities, avoid getting calcite, aragonite, fluorite, or turquoise. The hardness of these crystals is below five in the Mohs scale. These stones are perfect if you only plan on wearing them on special occasions.

Wearing rings that are not your size.

Wearing a ring with a bigger size increases the chances of it getting misshapen or worse, lost. So much so if you have an active lifestyle. Always make sure to have your ring sized with you real size rather than just using a metal ring sizer.

Forgetting to clean them.

If you forget to clean your jewelry, especially your rings, lots of different stuff are going to accumulate -- bodily oils, dirt, lotion, cologne, and soap are just among some. This can damage the stones and even affect the brilliance of the metal. That said, regularly clean them with any lint-free cloth or brush nooks and crannies with a soft bristle toothbrush.

Using harsh chemicals when cleaning.

The most common mistake when it comes to cleaning is the use of toothpaste. It is not recommended by experts because aside from being abrasive, it can accumulate in the prong and crannies and when it hardens, it becomes tough to remove. What you can use to clean your jewelry is mild liquid soap. Be careful though with some gemstones, especially the softer kind as they cannot stand up well to some chemicals.

Forgetting to clasp necklaces before storage.

One common problem with necklaces is getting tangled. This is because we often forget to clasp the necklace and just hastily store it with other jewelry pieces. That said, one good solution for this is to close the lock and hang them in a necklace display. You can also store it in a small pouch before storing inside a jewelry box with other pieces.

Not removing them when taking a bath or shower.

Not removing your jewelry before bathing and making it a habit can damage the pieces in the long run. Some people think they are already cleaning the jewelry by doing so, but soap, shampoo, and hair conditioner can get stuck in the crannies and behind the mountings which can damage the piece over time.

Reasons Why You Need a Jewelry Box

Jewelry boxes are actually quite the investment.

If you are a jewelry business owner, the main use for jewelry boxes is keeping your products safely stored. If you own pieces of jewelry or valuable heirlooms and trinkets, a jewelry box can save you from having a cluttered bedroom as well prevent the risk of losing a piece. With those reasons, jewelry boxes indeed are a necessity to both businesses and customers alike.

This week, we are turning the spotlight to jewelry boxes. Here's a list of reasons why these boxes are important investments.

Organized

Wooden Jewelry Organizer Box

This, of course, is the main use of a jewelry box. It can keep your jewelry free from clutter. And because most boxes have compartments, you get to separate necklaces from rings, earrings, and bracelets.

Accessibility

As with jewelry displays, jewelry boxes make it easy for you to find a specific piece that you are looking for. That said, they are great for small inventories, making it hassle-free for you to locate an item your customer wants. Also, jewelry boxes reduce the chances of you being late for an engagement because you don't have to spend hours looking for that pearl necklace your grandma gave you.

Protection

Two Level Jewelry Box

As mentioned earlier, jewelry boxes reduce the risk of losing your valuable items, If your jewelry is scattered in all the areas of your bedroom, or your shop for that matter, puts them at high risk of getting forgotten, lost, and even damaged and scratched. If your jewelry is all over the place, they might get stepped on, bringing injury and them getting broken.

Safe from theft

Most jewelry boxes today come with a safety lock and are small enough to hide in dressers and vaults. Doing so will make it hard for thieves to find and steal them. Imagine losing a family's prized heirloom in a snap. Jewelry boxes keep your accessories and other valuables away from the open.

Home decor

Because jewelry boxes come in so many beautiful designs and styles, they can also double as home decor. Some wooden designs with a romantic old world charm, are perfect for a girl’s bedroom. Some are covered with faux leather exuding a rustic urban feel which makes them a perfect match to a bachelor’s bedroom. There’s a vast array of jewelry box designs, and there’s definitely that one perfect style for everyone.

Celebrities’ favorite event, Coachella, had already ended two weeks ago but we still cannot get over their looks. They created a buzz that will surely last for weeks, even months. And of course, one of the things we couldn’t stop checking out are their accessories, most especially their necklaces!

Victoria's Secret Angel, Taylor Hill, wore lovely layers of minimalist gold necklaces that made her look even more angel-like. This is the kind of piece you’d proudly showcase in on a necklace display in your bedroom. Although her selfie is a bit blurry, you can still see the gorgeous crystal pendants and how they match her sea blue tassel earrings. She definitely looks like a unicorn that transformed into a woman!

Hailey Baldwin

Stephen Baldwin's daughter, fashion model Hailey, kept it simple and straightforward. She wore a boyish monochrome outfit and wore two sparkly chokers. The sparkles from the pieces are enough to make a bold statement to her entire look. She paired it with gold hoop earrings and a myriad of bracelets and rings.

Olivia Culpo

Model and beauty queen Oliva Culpo wore a statement gemstone necklace, most probably turquoise with her edgy band shirt and ripped denim shorts. It complemented her large hoop earrings and layered bracelets. This look is one of our favorites because it’s so comfy, feminine, rebellious, and bold all at the same time.

Victoria Justice

The lovely actress and singer Victoria Justice wore a stunning silver bib necklace on day three of #chella. It perfectly matched her black top and a trendy sheer denim skirt. She didn’t need to wear earrings or even bracelets (except the Coachella wristbands, of course) because the neck piece did all the talking.

Jasmine Tookes and Shay Mitchell

Gorgeous friends Victoria's Secret Angel Jasmine Tookes and actress Shay Mitchell both wore layered gold necklaces. Jasmine had the minimalist style with round pendants which matched her sexy cover-up. Shay, on the other hand, had on thick-chained statement gold pieces. Both rocked their looks, and they are definitely two of the most beautiful ladies in the desert.

Vanessa and Stella Hudgens

Of course, we cannot forget the Queen of Coachella, Vanessa Hudgens! This year, she shared the throne with her younger sister, Stella. These gorgeous sisters wore matching dresses and exuded utter #chella royalty. Both wore layered necklaces (obviously a favorite in the event), but Vanessa mixed and matched pieces. She wore a black choker, leather and string necklaces, and gold chains. Stella, on the other hand, kept it simple with dainty thin-chained gold necklaces. These two had no problems matching their accessories with their heavily-patterned outfits!

The Best Gemstone Beads for a Stretch Bracelet

Here are the best types of crystal beads to use to make a bracelet this Spring.

If you are not the type to go the beach and prefer to stay at home during spring break, you better have some activities planned out to make your time worthwhile. Aside from DIY home projects that you can do with like-minded friends and family, another way to bond with them is to make jewelry. One of the easiest pieces to create is bead bracelets. You’ll only need rolls of stretch cord and of course, the beads.

To complement your spring and summer outfits, go with the crystal beads with light or creamy pastel colors. And without further ado, here are some of the best gemstone beads to use to make a stretch bracelet worthy of showcasing in any jewelry display.

Howlite Beads

Howlite is a white crystal with intricate grey veins. Its pattern earned its other name, “white turquoise” because of the similarities to the beautiful teal crystal. Howlite’s gorgeous white color makes it easy to match with any outfit. The other names it goes with are White Buffalo, Sacred Buffalo, Lapis Howlite, and Kaolinite, and Silico Boro Calcite.

People believe that Howlite allows the wearer to attune to their higher spiritual consciousness. It can help reduce tension, stress, and anxiety. It can calm emotions and will enable one to get a restful sleep.

Green Aventurine Beads

Aventurine is a beautiful blend of quartz and other minerals. Inclusions of Mica give it a shimmering effect, which is called aventurescence. Its cool green color is perfect for spring and summer as its easy on the eyes.

This gemstone is believed to be an all-around healing stone for the sinuses, lungs, heart, and liver. It can release negative energy and loosen energy blockages. Green Aventurine is also known as the “Stone of Opportunity” because it is believed to manifest prosperity and wealth.

Pink Aventurine Beads

Aventurine is commonly green, but it also comes in peach, red, purple, yellow, silver, and pink. Pink Aventurine varies from a sweet salmon color to a mysterious deep rose. Its almost pastel-like color is perfect for your bright yellow outfits this season.

Pink Aventurine is said to be a great stone for self-love. It helps you embrace your entirety, releases feelings of entrapment allowing you to take the spotlight. Aside from aiding in the release of negativity, it can also help with creativity and self-expression.

New Jade Beads

This creamy lime crystal comes in many names. It’s called New Jade or Serpentine. But note that it’s not jade at all. It is only called as such because of its green color. New Jade has natural patterns and other mineral inclusions making it look lovelier. As with green aventurine, its happy color is ideal for this sunny season.

New Jade is believed to aid with emotional cleansing and attract money and love. It helps release the fear of change and help replenish one's energy. The Romans in the ancient times believe that this stone can protect them from venom and poison, hence its other name, Serpentine.

Lepidolite Beads

Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing crystal that comes in many colors; lilac gray, rose pink, and yellow. The stone has slight mineral inclusions that make them look unique and beautiful. These beads are in rosy pink colors and are perfect for those who love this feminine color.

Known as the “Stone of Transition,” Lepidolite is said to aid in emotional healing as well as in reducing stress. It’s perfect for anyone who needs some sense of stability especially during a chaotic stage in life.
