@MickyTrax (on IG) had a little jewelry challenge for me and the rest of the staff here at TraxNYC. We had 6 stones: 6.50mm, 7.50mm & 8.00mm. One row was Moissanite, and one row was LAB diamonds. Were you able to tell the difference between the two? See which members of the TraxNYC staff could figure it out as well

An Article To Teach You About Jewelry
Jewelry is always a great gift that will be kept and cherished forever. Too many gifts have a limited time to be used and will be discarded eventually but never jewelry. Inexpensive jewelry can be the perfect gift to commemorate special events. This article can help you to make great choices when it comes to buying jewelry.
If you are looking to purchase sterling silver jewelry online, make sure to also purchase a silver acid testing kit. Such kits are widely available online as well for under ten dollars. They provide a safe way for you to acid test the jewelry you receive to make sure of its authenticity. This way, if you are purchasing a vintage piece that may not be hallmarked, you are still able to know that you have not been scammed.
If you have metal allergies, make sure to purchase nickel free jewelry. Nickel is a common alloy that is mixed in with precious metals such as sterling silver to make them more pliable. Silver itself is very liquid in its original state and therefore not substantial enough to be properly molded into jewelry. Oftentimes, another alloy such as nickel is added. Make sure you check what you are purchasing to make sure it is nickel free.
Notice what type of earrings they are wearing, including the shape and metal. Knowing their preferences will be an invaluable guide when you go out to buy them a special item of jewelry.
To assure your jewelry accentuates your best features, choose pieces that work with your face shape. For a heart shaped face, try chokers and dangly earrings. Round and square face types look great in teardrop earrings, and long necklaces are also an excellent pick. Those with rectangular faces should choose short necklaces and round earrings. If you have an oval shaped face, you can pull off any type of necklace, but angular earrings are best.
Always keep your receipt. Making sure that you have a means of returning the item in question is one of the most important things to do in jewelry shopping. You never know if the person you are purchasing for may not like the piece, or if you may find a better deal elsewhere.
As expressed in the beginning of this article, jewelry is always a great gift and for many different reasons. Birthstones, engraved pieces, charm bracelets are all inexpensive but can often be a favorite gift of the recipient. By using the information presented in this article, you are sure to find just the right piece of jewelry for any occasion.
