Perhaps you have noticed from time to time gemstones set in jewelry that catch your eye. Most people do not understand the level of expertise that is involved in setting a gemstone just perfectly. One of the key features of a stone that is cut properly is the fact that it is brilliant in the light, something it did not do when it was simply a rock with potential. There is both art, science and a high level of skill to expertly cut a stone with no mistakes. The end result is what most people see which is a great-looking piece of jewelry.

Women are the obvious audience that is interested in fashion jewelry. This jewelry is designed for the many women who are unable to have a large selection of fine jewelry at their fingertips. With so many choices and designs available in fashion jewelry today that by no means indicates that you have to suffer with "bad" or inferior looking jewelry. Fashion jewelry remains an accessory that is largely loved and worn by women. Jewelry is an excellent tool that can be used to dress up an outfit for an evening out on the town or keep it casual.

Perhaps you have silver jewelry and want to know the grade of silver used in it, whether it is sterling or plated? When you want to know the truth about your jewels, you have a couple of ways to find out. The test involves using nitric acid, and you will need to scratch a small area of the jewelry and apply a couple of very small drops of the acid.

Your jewelry is sterling only if the acid turns a gray color, and is cloudy. If the drops form a green color, then of course that signifies the jewelry is silver plated. Testing your jewelry is not something that you have to do, because most jewelers are more than happy to test it for you.

The third type of jewelry we want to talk about is the widely-available contemporary jewelry. There is just tons of this jewelry to choose from. The fashion industry continues to change, advance, and progress and the top fashion designers annually present their new products annually. This annual evolution also applies to contemporary jewelry as the jewelry designers compete also to become trendy and popular. No one knows in advance which contemporary jewelry line, or designer, will become the next "I have to have it" trend-setter. We pay a lot of attention to what our public figures wear - both in clothing and jewelry - and movie stars and singers, especially, have a big affect on what becomes popular and trendy. The influence of our pop stars is obvious when women start to copy them after they are written up in the local tabloids and what they were wearing is the main topic of conversation.

There are all kinds of reasons women fall in love with jewelry but it's an affair to remember for most women and one that will last a lifetime. It's not the price tag that matters when you've found the perfect piece of jewelry - it's the feeling of confidence that comes with knowing you've found the perfect accessory.
