For the 2012 year it is all about classic pieces for spring and natural pieces for fall. It will also be about sustainable jewelry pieces (materials that are recyclable). When you think 2012 jewelry, here are some descriptions to keep in mind: Bright. Bold. Vintage. Natural. Classic.

 

Below are four jewelry necessities you will need to stay in style this Spring:

 

Crosses Are A Must

 A cross is a great jewelry piece because there is no restriction in style. A cross could be small, big, bold, colorful, or simple. A great fashion look you could do with a cross is to wear multiple necklaces at once, with the cross being the longest necklace.

 

 Floral Jewelry

 Yes, spring is a time for flowers to bloom and you are no exception! Bloom your flower with floral jewelry! Petals, Buds, and full floral arrangements are in style! They can be on rings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. A great floral jewelry is a diamond encrusted floral jewelry. Floral jewelry is wonderful to wear with a spring dress.

 

Hair Jewelry

There is nothing that screams Spring more than hair jewelry. Wear brooches, tiaras, barrettes and hairpins in your hair. Hair jewelry is a must for the brides of 2012. Bling your hair today!

 

Blue is In!

Blue is in fashion (and no we are not talking about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s beautiful baby girl) for clothes and jewels. The most popular blues this season are turquoise tones, navy, aqua, azure and classic blue. Blue is a perfect color for all skin tones. In addition to blue, greens and purples will be jewelry favorites this year.

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day to express your love to your significant other. A pearl bracelet is the perfect gift to convey your love to your beloved. Here are some ways to successfully buy pearls for Valentine’s Day:

 

Choose Quality Pearls

 

You can tell if pearls are good quality because they will shine in the light and have a wonderful pearl luster. Genuine pearls feel sandy and gritty. Fake pearls will feel smooth.

Pearls can range from pure white to black in color. Buy pearls that will match the recipient’s skin tone. You can find the best color for your significant other by looking at your special someone’s wardrobe colors. A jeweler can also give you some advice on the most popular color pearls.

 

Pick a Style

 

Pearl bracelets come in various styles. The traditional bracelet is a single strand pearl made into a beaded bracelet. Pearls can also be combined with gemstones to create a pearl bracelet.

 

No matter what quality, color and style you may choose, a pearl bracelet for Valentine’s Day is sure to put a smile on your Valentine’s face. Choose with care. You will not disappoint. Let Charles Nusinov & Sons help you today!

3 Important Valentine’s Day Jewelry Gift Buying Tips

February 10th, 2012

 

Buying Valentine’s Day Jewelry this weekend? No worries. This article will provide you three great tips on buying Valentine’s Day Jewelry. Read to be in the know before buying your Valentine’s Day Jewelry.

Jewelry shopping during busy holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, can make you more inclined to purchase on impulse. You do not want to rush buying something for your beloved significant partner. You want your special someone to know you took the time and effort to buy him or her the jewelry. Research to avoid making buying decisions you may regret later. Here are tips to avoid buying on impulse:

 Buying a Big Brand Cost More

 Yes, you may be very familiar with Cartier and Tiffany but these big brands will cost you 30% to 80% more than a local jewelry store. You can buy quality jewelry from a local jeweler and save money at the same time. Do it.

 Observe Craftsmanship

 When you buy jewelry, you want to make sure the piece you buy is well made. Look at the setting, clasp(s), and the overall finish. Avoid buying jewelry where the clasps are hard to operate or feel flimsy. Make sure the piece can be worn for special occasions and every day.

 Silver is The New Gold

You do not have to buy gold to satisfy your significant other. Silver is just as fashionable and best of all it is affordable. Buy a sterling silver piece of jewelry. Silver is very popular in the jewelry market right now.

Put a smile on your Valentine’s face today by buying a wonderful piece of jewelry from Charles Nusinov & Sons.

4 Tips To Live By For Valentine’s Day Jewelry Hunting

January 31st, 2012

Valentine’s Day is soon approaching and you want to pick out jewelry that will put a smile on your Valentine’s face, while keeping you in budget. We have 4 tips to help you buy jewelry without putting a frown on your Valentine’s face or your face. Read below to get started.

Buying jewelry can be a challenging task if you have no idea where to start or what you are looking to buy. There are many options and you do not want to buy jewelry you cannot afford to pay. Here are a few tips to help you successfully find good quality jewelry without hurting your wallet:

Avoid Prestigious Names

Did you know by buying jewelry from a brand such as Tiffany you would spend more than 80% more than an equal quality brand just because of the name Tiffany?

Silver is Just As Gorgeous as Gold

Silver is currently more popular than gold in the jewelry market. If you buy sterling silver jewelry, you will definitely make your gift receiver happy. Never buy jewelry from people selling out of a car. Always buy from a reputable jeweler. You do not want to buy jewelry that will later change green.

Buy Pearls

If you want a classic gift, buy your Valentine pearls. Pearls can be natural, cultured, and imitation. Out of these three types of pearls, buy cultured. Imitation pearls are costume jewelry. Natural pearls are rare because each pearl has to be harvested one at a time.

When shopping for pearls, ask the jeweler to let you view the most expensive strand and then the least expensive strand. This will help you decide what you prefer to buy. If you cannot afford the most expensive, buy a pearl strand that is a median of the two extremes.

Find a Real Gem

Precious stones are always in style. They can be natural (from the ground), synthetic (lab made) and imitation (usually made in China). Synthetic gems are affordable and very available.  A great gem to give anyone is the person’s birthstone.

For the best assistance in buying jewelry, ask a professional jeweler for assistance.

How To Choose The Perfect Valentine’s Day Jewelry

January 17th, 2012

 

Valentine’s Day is slowly but surely approaching. Do you know what to get your special someone? If you want to buy jewelry for your special someone this Valentine’s Day, we are here to help by providing you a few pointers on how to choose the perfect Valentine’s Day Jewelry. Read below to get started.

 

For starters, do not put shopping for Valentine’s Day Jewelry as a last minute action. Here are three things that will help you pick the perfect Jewelry for Valentine’s Day:

 

Know What is the Most Popular Jewelry For Valentine’s Day

 If you are shopping for a man, men’s bracelets are definitely something you should consider buying for your special man or a designer watch for traditional appeal. For women, amethyst and garnet rings are popular during Valentine’s Day. You can never go wrong with any jewelry that uses a heart.

You can pick up on current jewelry trends by observing what people in the spotlight are wearing to media events and award shows. Often a movie or television show will be showing popular styles in fashion and the jewelry industry. No matter what you decide to buy, make sure the gift is personal.

 

Show Charm With Charms

A charm bracelet is a great gift to give to a special lady because it is a piece of jewelry that never goes out of style. Not to mention, charms can be added every year to a charm bracelet. A traditional charm bracelet or Italian charm bracelet can be the perfect gift for your partner.

 

Listen To Your Special Someone’s Preference

For men, the best strategy for picking a great jewelry gift is to learn your partner’s taste in jewelry. Take your partner weeks in advance to somewhere he or she can review jewelry with you or a friend. You will discover what your partner dislikes and likes about jewelry. Note whether the jewelry preferred is simple and elegant rather than bold and flamboyant.

 

For men and women, remember it is not about how expensive or inexpensive the jewelry may be. The gift should have meaning to your partner. Will your partner still wear the gift weeks and years after this Valentine’s Day? Or will it be tucked away never to see the light of day again? You need to figure out these questions before you finalize buying that special piece of jewelry.

 

Present Your Gift Right When You First See Your Partner On Valentine’s Day

 Nothing will make your partner feel as special as presenting a gift when your partner first sees you for the day. Make sure the gift is wrapped. It will show your partner that he or she is important to you. It will show you put in the effort to please your partner.

3 Ways To Safely Clean and Maintain Jewelry with Bathroom Items

January 12th, 2012

Are you looking for great ways to safely clean and maintain your jewelry in the comfort of your home? If yes, we have three amazing ways you can clean and maintain jewelry using bathroom items. Read below to get started.

When you buy expensive jewelry it is a great investment. Your investment, to keep its high value, needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly to preserve its beauty. You can keep your jewelry cleaned and maintained using affordable home remedies from your bathroom closet.

Bathroom items are often gentle enough to polish diamonds, silver and crystal. You should never spend more than you paid for your jewelry when keeping it cleaned and maintained.

 Brush Your Silver

 Silverware and jewelry are often made with sterling silver. Sterling silver is hard and very durable when compared with pure silver. If you do not clean and maintain it regularly, it can look dingy and it will lose its shine. To restore and maintain its luster you have to polish silver. You can do this by using a little toothpaste and rub it on your silver jewelry. Let your silver jewelry sit for 60 minutes with the toothpaste on it. After the 60 minutes have passed, rub the toothpaste off with a soft rag.

 Diamond Cleaning

 Dust and dirt can collect in the grooves of your diamond jewelry. You do not want dirt and small dust particles making your diamond imperfect. If you do not clean and maintain your diamond, it will discolor and lose its luster.

You should have your diamond brought to a jeweler every six months or you should apply toothpaste to an old toothbrush and scrub your diamond gently. Once you are done scrubbing, rinse and dry your diamond. Toothpaste is soft in texture, so you will not need to worry whether cleaning it with toothpaste will tarnish your diamond.

 Green Does not Always Mean Allergy

 When you see your neck, wrist, or finger become green from wearing jewelery, this does not mean you are having an allergic reaction from your jewelry. Yes, some people do suffer from allergic reactions because of metals such as nickel and copper, but that usually happens in areas of the body that harbor sweat (palms of hands and backs of necks).

 

Often, you see green because your ring can discolor and rub off to your skin. To resolve this problem, apply clear nail polish on your jewelry. The clear nail polish will act as a protector for your skin against metal that can turn your skin green. This is great to use on inexpensive costume jewelry.

How to Properly Clean Bronze Jewelry

January 5th, 2012

 

Do you own Bronze Jewelry? If yes, do you know how to properly clean your bronze jewelry? If you do not, we are here to help by giving you tips on how to clean your bronze jewelry. Read below to get started.

Cleaning bronze jewelry is moderately easy. You will need the following to properly clean your bronze jewelry:

Ø Silver Polishing Cloths

Ø Mild Detergent

Ø Water

You will start to clean your bronze jewelry by using a silver polishing cloth. You can then place mild detergent on your bronze jewelry. You only need a few drops of mild detergent per bronze jewelry.

Use your fingers to rub the detergent on your jewelry. You can use gloves while rubbing your detergent on, if you prefer. Next, place your bronze jewelry under running water to rinse the detergent off of each piece of jewelry. After you rinse all your bronze jewelry off, you can gently wipe off the bronze jewelry clean. Dry them off with the silver polishing cloth.

What materials are included in bronze jewelry?

 Bronze jewelry has a range of metals included in its making. Often copper, zinc, tin and nickel are used in creating bronze jewelry. Before you buy bronze jewelry, make sure you are not allergic to these types of metal.

It is crucial to care for your bronze jewelry properly by keeping it dry and clean on a regular basis. Bronze can easily be harmed by oxidation. Oxidation makes the metals in bronze form green patina as it is exposed to moisture and oxygen. You can prevent bronze jewelry from turning dark and forming green patina on it by using varnish. Never use a rough towel to clean bronze jewelry because it can scrape varnish off.

4 Superb Tips For Men Buying Jewelry For Women

December 28th, 2011

Are you a man looking to buy jewelry for a woman in your life for the New Year? If yes, we are here to help you by providing tips on how to buy the perfect jewelry for her. Read below to get started.

 

Bring A Piece Of Jewelry She Already Owns With You

Jewelry is a great gift to give to a woman. When shopping, you should bring a piece of jewelry she already owns to help you buy something she would like to wear. If you can not bring a piece of jewelry she owns with you, then make sure you can visualize her jewelry or bring a photo along to help you. For example, when shopping for necklaces a 17 to 19 inch princess necklace is a great gift. This is the standard length for a necklace. When you aim for standard, you avoid buying an awkward piece of jewelry for your very special lady.

 

 Know Her Preference

 Make sure you know the type of jewelry she would prefer to wear. Ask a close friend or family member if she prefers silver or gold jewelry. For example, if she prefers silver any sterling silver jewelry could be a great gift for her. Sterling silver is both affordable and versatile.

 

 Know If She is Allergic To Metal

 People can have jewelry allergy, especially to metal. Nickel content is the common reason behind jewelry allergy. Make sure your gift receiver is not allergic to metal. Remember the lower the karat value of gold, the more nickel will be added to the gold because nickel is used to make soft gold a harder material.

Do Your Best To Avoid Dyed Gemstones

 Dyed Gemstones can leave color streaks on skin, if a person becomes too moist from sweating or body perfumes. The best rule of thumb to use when shopping for gemstones is to make sure the color does not look unnatural or thick. If it looks unnatural or thick, then it is more inclined to be a gemstone with dye that can rub onto an individual’s skin.

How To Buy Jewelry Gifts Easily During The Holiday Season

December 20th, 2011

When buying jewelry for a loved one, it can be a stressful task. If you need some help in buying jewelry a loved one can cherish for years to come, we are here to help with jewelry buying tips. Read the guide below.

Buy For Quality, not Quantity

 To buy jewelry that will last for years to come, you need to be informed about the types of metal used to make jewelry stunning. The most commonly used jewelry materials are gold, sterling silver and platinum. When you see jewelry that says gold, it means it is pure gold or 24 karat gold. 24 karat gold is often mixed with other metals to make it durable, since it is considered a soft metal. If jewelry says 14 karat gold, this means 14 parts of the jewelry is made of gold and the 10 other parts will be base metal. The higher the karat, the more gold the jewelry piece as in it.

Sterling silver has 92.5% silver. This is usually marked as 925 if pure silver. Platinum is a natural, white metal. It is considered strong, durable and resistant for corrosion. It is a great material for rings.

Choosing Necklaces

 Make sure you choose the correct length, if buying a necklace for someone. Necklaces come in 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 28 inches. Know the person you are buying a gift for preference of length:

Ø 16 inches is choker length.

Ø 18 inches is collarbone.

Ø 20 inches is below the collarbone.

Ø 22 inches is above neckline.

Ø 24 inches is below neckline.

Ø 28 inches is around the bustline.

 A long necklace will work well with square or round face people. If someone is a short person, then it will add height to the person’s frame. If someone has a long neck, then a choker might look best. It is all about preference.
