7 Jewellery Tips You Need to Know

Jewellery, although it might seem like a simple thing, can be quite complex. This is because there are many different designs, sizes and metals available, all of which can be bought either as a gift or to add to your own collection. Buying jewellery as a gift can be tricky, as can making your purchases online. But don’t worry because we’re here to give you some tips for buying jewellery, whether it be online, in person or for a specific occasion. From doing your research to sticking to a budget, here are seven jewellery tips you need to be aware of:

1. Be aware of the different types of jewellery on the market

When it comes to buying jewellery, you must first be aware of what’s out there. Do some research. See what’s on trend right now if you’re looking to keep up to date with the latest fashion. Alternatively, take a look at the pieces in your existing collection to get an idea of your own style and taste. You should also use this as an opportunity to gauge price points so as not to pay over the odds.

2. Understand the different metals 

There are a variety of different metals available on the market nowadays. Gone are the days of only having yellow gold pieces to choose from. Modern times have introduced sterling silver, white gold and rose gold to the mix. This gives you the choice between classic yellow gold, modern white gold, sophisticated rose gold or sleek silver. Don’t be afraid to mix different metals and tones together for a stand-out look that will take your outfit from day to night.

3. Don’t be afraid to personalise your jewellery

Personalised jewellery not only makes for a great gift, but it also acts as a keepsake for your own collection. Here at Little Star, we have a complete range of pieces on offer that can be engraved, free of charge. From special dates and words to initials and numbers, we can always be counted upon for stunning personalised jewellery that will last a lifetime. This is a popular service for those looking for Christening or wedding gifts, for instance. 

4. If you’re buying jewellery as a gift, consider the occasion

Jewellery can make a great gift for a wealth of occasions. It makes for the perfect present for Christenings, weddings, birthdays and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, among other events. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we have Christening bangles and Christening necklaces available, alongside matching Mummy and Me and Daddy and Me gift sets. We also have a beautiful collection of timeless pieces, from necklaces and bracelets to earrings and children’s rings, all of which are ideal for men, women, children and babies.

5. Check your sizes

This is more the case if you’re going to be buying jewellery online. You can find out your ring, wrist and neck size by visiting a jeweller and asking them for some assistance. This is the most accurate way of knowing your jewellery sizes. If, however, you’re going in-store to buy a piece, then they’ll likely do this as part of the overall service. Make a note of the sizes they’re telling you so that you know for future reference, if you don’t already know.

6. Stick to your budget

When you’re looking for stunning jewellery items, it can be easy to deviate from your budget. But no matter how tempting that might be, remember that you have a budget in mind that you need to stick to. Here at Little Star Jewellery, all of our pieces are competitively priced, meaning you’ll be able to pick up the perfect piece without breaking the bank. 

7. Choose the right jeweller

When it comes to buying jewellery, you want to make sure that you’re buying pieces from a legitimate source. Do your research into the jewellers you’re looking to buy from. Check that their prices aren’t too good to be true, but also that they’re not extremely pricey. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we offer a wide range of jewellery for men, women, children and babies, whilst also offering a free engraving service. With quality jewellery on offer that will last for generations to come, choose us for timeless, classic pieces that will stand the test of time.

We are dedicated to supplying stunning pieces of jewellery that can be gifted for a variety of occasions.
