What to Consider When Buying Jewelry

Ya’ll know I love my jewelry. There are many reasons that you might find yourself buying jewelry, and no matter what the occasion is you are going to want to make sure that you get it right. There are different factors to consider when trying to figure out the right jewelry pieces.

Special Events

Special occasions are one of the top reasons people look at buying jewelry. If you are due to propose to someone, for instance, then you know that you are going to need to find designer diamond engagement rings to choose between. If you are buying for a birthday or Christmas, it will be something else entirely. And if you are just buying something for yourself for no particular reason, then that too is something that you can consider.

Price

We all know that it is easy to spend a lot of money on jewelry, but the truth is that the prices can vary so much that you never quite know whether you are going to spend a lot or not. There is such a huge variation, and what might cost only a few bucks here might be much more expensive over there. So make sure that you are considering not just the price of individual rings but the prices of those similar rings at different stores, as that way you are much more able and likely to make the right choice economically.

Style

What kind of style do you want for the piece? This again might depend strongly on the occasion you are buying for, but it is likely that a few other factors are also going to come into play here as well, so you need to be aware of those. Such as the general style of the person who will be wearing it, for instance, whether that is yourself or someone else. As long as you have thought about the style of the piece in this considered way, you are going to make a much better decision overall.

Ethics

In today’s world, finding ethically sourced jewelry can be an important factor. It is always a good idea to do your research on the supplier of a piece of jewelry, as well as the supplier of their gems, and of any designers and crafters who have worked on the piece. It’s not too hard to find all that out, and it will ensure that you are remaining moral when it comes to choosing items of jewelry to buy.

Choker Crush

choker crushI have got a major crush on chokers right now. Who knew that this Kristin Cavallari, early 2000’s trend would come back in full force. I sure didn’t, but I’m very glad it did! I’m obsessed with the choker trend and love pairing it with any of my off the shoulder tops. It really helps to accentuate the décolletage, and some chokers even make your neck appear slimmer. Here are some of my favorite chokers. I currently own #5 (also seen on JoJo Fletcher from the Bachelorette) and #7. I wear them ALL the time. Chokers are great because they can really add a pop to a plain outfit. I can’t wait to get my hands on these others. What do you guys think of the trend?
