Tip! ) For a slightly more ‘in-depth’ cleaning you may want to use a liquid jewelry cleaner.

When in doubt jewelry is the perfect gift! There are few gift items for any occasion that have the lasting appeal of jewelry. From semi-precious stones in avant-garde settings to fine gems stones in estate settings there are really no other gifts that as accurately convey real caring. Cash may be crass but jewelry has real value and still has aesthetic worth.

Some occasions seem to be the wrong place for jewelry gifts but on second thought there are still jewelry options. For instance it may seem that only the bride and groom can give jewelry to each other at a wedding but that isn’t true. The bride may opt to give earrings or pendants as thank-you gifts to her bridesmaids and the groom may want to give a tie clasp or money clip to the best man.

Also weddings gifts for the bridal couple can be found in jewelry departments. Metallic gilded crystal items are popular bridal registry items. Many china patterns have metallic and are frequently included in jewelry stores. At any rate silver and silver plate are to be found on most bridal registries.

Tip! High polished sterling silver jewelry has no plating on the jewelry at all and is particularly popular with engravable items or for people who are allergic to certain metals such as nickel. The jewelry is polished by machine without additional raw material cost.

At bridal showers for couples who truly have everything that money can buy commemorative jewelry items are lifelong keepsakes. Baby rings, silver spoons, and silver plate rattles enter the family treasure chest with the birth of each child and are kept for generations.

It may seem that young children should not be given jewelry which may be true because of choking hazards but for school aged children there are many important jewelry gifts. These may be charm bracelets that grow with each birthday or religious metals.

The obvious jewelry gift items can not be over done. Couples complain about too many toasters but anniversary rings will always be appreciated, as well as necklaces, anklets, bracelets, earrings and so on.

Tip! There’s a big difference between 14 karat gold and gold-plated jewelry. Fourteen karat (14K) jewelry contains 14 parts of gold, mixed in throughout with 10 parts of base metal.
