Compatible Earrings to Wear with a FaceMask
We’ve all embraced the fact that facemasks have become the new top accessory when it comes to fashion nowadays. It doesn’t matter what you’re putting on your face because what’s visible is only your facemask.
Now that can become annoying but that’s all we’ve got right now. Even though facemasks are a necessity now, the biggest problem with wearing them is that they become an obstacle for other accessories. This is particularly true in the case of earrings which have been a style statement for many women.
However, since facemask has come through, wearing earrings has become a task in itself. Masks can get in the way of putting them on properly and also become a problem when they sometimes end up pulling out the earrings with them as well.
But what about other styles? Can you still use them? Well, you don’t want your mask to entangle with your jewelry nor do you want to skip on wearing them. So what do you do? It’s simple. You wear the most secure styles. Here are some of our recommendations:
Yes, you read that right! You won’t miss out on wearing hoops if you go for these. The huggie style ear hoops will become a style statement with your mask. The brilliant silverwork with elegant styling will surely get some eyes on you.
This is probably the most convenient style of an earpiece that you can style with your mask. Diamonds are a classic in themselves and don’t need any more bling once you wear them. More importantly, these studs don’t come in the way of your mask at all. They’re probably the most secure ones that you could use.
LUVENTE DIAMOND CLUSTER EARRINGS
If not the studs then these cluster earrings will be perfect for you. The brilliant dazzle and intricately designed pieces from Luvente will help you carry your diamonds most perfectly and securely with your mask.
ALLISON KAUFMAN DIAMOND HOOP EARRINGS
Want to wear diamonds and hoops together? This will be your dream come true. These white gold earrings come with their modern touch to the traditional hoops without being too hard to carry with a facemask on.

How to Safely Sanitize Your Jewelry
The novel Coronavirus is here and according to experts, it’s here to stay. Therefore, all of us need to get used to it being around from now on. But let’s not forget the fact that it can be avoided by proper sanitation and more importantly frequent handwashing. However, this repeated hand washing process tends to leave the hands dry. Additionally, it might not be sufficient for all places.
That’s because germs can easily reside on your hands and especially under those hidden spots covered by jewelry pieces. More importantly, the little area under pieces like rings are more susceptible to becoming a safe spot for germs because let’s be real, you can’t expect your sanitizer to cover every nook and crook.
Even if you do thoroughly clean your ornaments, the gems and stones fixed on them might not get the same treatment as the rest of the ensemble.
On top of that, it’s not the best treatment for your jewelry pieces either because you can’t possibly sanitize everything using those formulated solutions. Perhaps they might turn out to be too harsh for your delicate pieces and may ruin them after some time.
So how do you take care and clean your jewelry without messing up the look or finish? Well, we’ve got just the thing for you.
We suggest using the general formula of mild dish soap with lukewarm water to clean your jewelry pieces. You can use any soap that is convenient for you but make sure that it’s not too harsh. Otherwise, you might end up with an unwanted change to your pieces.
To make this cleaning more effective, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to hit all the crevasses and packed spots.
However, for your stones such as a diamond, opal, pearl, and emerald, mild dish soaps may be enough but alcohol-based sanitizers can be too harsh. Because these gems are porous, the alcohol may end up leaving cracks and drying them out.
Since a regular hand sanitizer is out of the question for some, you can also use hydrogen peroxide solution or an isopropyl alcohol solution to clean your delicate pieces. These articles can belong to the harder stone category.
That includes diamond, sapphire, ruby, solid gold, etc. Because these stones can withstand chemical formulations better, you can use isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for a thorough cleaning. If these are not in hand, the good old dish soap can always be used.

Who to Sell your Gold To and Tips How – Part 2
Selling gold may seem like an easy way to get instant cash at your hands but what if you don’t get what you should be getting? It can be a little tricky but might even turn out to be a good deal for you if you know your way across the whole process. So let’s talk about the pre-selling tips that would help you get the best price out of your gold selling.
Determine the ‘right’ time
The ‘right’ time refers to the time when the gold prices are fairly high as compared to the previous one. This happens when the stock market is going low and thus the gold prices rise up higher than ever.
However, the right time can also vary according to your need. This means that your ‘right’ time can also be when you need money in exchange for your gold.
Check current gold spot price
Checking the current gold spot price can also help you get an idea of how much you would get for your gold at a specific time.
Since the spot price keeps changing and is dependent on the worldwide demand, it is better to be aware of it before you are ready to sell off your gold pieces of jewelry or bullions.
Negotiate not Bargain
If you feel like your buyer (whether online or in shops) is not offering a price that is suitable for you, you can always negotiate. And a lot of buyers are open for negotiations in case of prices.
However, that does mean you start bargaining unrealistically and lose a potentially good buyer. If you deal in a professional, formal way, you might end up with a better price than initially offered.
Choose the right buyer
In the gold-selling business, it’s always better for sellers to go for specific buyers when it comes to different gold pieces.
For example: If you have gold bullion or a gold coin to sell, you’d probably get a better price for it from someone who deals with gold coins and bullions.
Similarly, if you have a branded gold jewelry to sell, the best buyer for you would be someone who collects these brands or deals with their products.
But make sure you know that there’s a selling opportunity because not every jewelry store will buy your gold.
Visit shops and compare
The most fool-proof way to get the best price for your gold product is to know what and how much others are offering.
There’s no harm in getting quotes from different buyers online and in stores and then choosing the best fit for yourself.
So before you settle on one buyer, we’d advise you to do some leg work and go to the local jewelry stores, like Master Jewelers. This is only to get an idea of how much you should be expecting off of your gold items.
Be prepared to say No
As a seller, it is your decision to make a deal or turn it down. If you feel like the buyer is not offering enough, just say no and keep looking out for other (much better) prices.
The market is full of people who may offer you a price close to what you want so don’t give up.

Who to Sell your Gold To and Tips How – Part 1
Do you plan on selling off some or all of your gold for money? Are you looking for the best place to sell your gold jewelry? Worry no more because here we’ll guide you through the potential market places and buyers.
People sell out their gold jewelry, gold bullions, and even gold coins in return for some instant cash. But what are your options and what should you know about selling gold before you do so? Let’s find out.
What kind of gold can be sold?
We all own some kind of gold at our home, right? Be it in the form of gold jewelry or gold coins, there’s always a bit if not a lot that we can let go of.
But, not everything gold can be sold or holds a lot of value. This is particularly relevant for gold plated or gold filled items because they’re not very valuable. Buyers don’t really get a lot of ‘pure gold’ out of them so they’re not very desirable.
However, gold coins and gold bullions contain a significantly high amount of pure gold. Thus if you have it in this form, you’ll probably get a good price for them.
As for gold jewelry, again, it depends on the amount and also the karatage of gold used. The higher the karat of gold, the higher the price.
How can you determine the worth of your gold jewelry?
A simple way to determine this is by using a Gold for Cash calculator or come into Master Jewelers and get it appraised.
All you have to do is to add the weight of your gold item and it’s karat. The calculator will provide you an estimated value of your item.
Online stores
Online stores like Master Jewelers are a great place to sell your gold items. Why? Because they offer prices higher as compared to the other competitors.
But the downside is that you’d have to send your items to them for appraisal first and there’s no ‘instant cash’ receiving option.
Pawnshops
Pawnshops generally deal with buying gold jewelry at a lower price than online and jewelry stores. This is just a part of their business because they’ve other things (e.g. commissions) to consider as well out of their buy.
Depending on your gold’s spot price, weight, and karat, you might not get the best offer for your gold item here. But you will get your money instantly without having to send or ship your item to them first.
Local jewelry stores
When it comes to selling at local jewelry stores, like Master Jewelers, it’s always better to call and ask if they deal with buying gold first. Why? Because not all jewelry stores buy gold items like that.
Their prices are also comparatively lower than that offered by online stores but similar to the pawnshops, you’ll get your money right away.

Mixing Gold and Silver Jewelry—A new fashion symbol
In modern times like now, the fashion industry has seen and adopted some major changes. And when it comes to accessorizing yourself, the possibilities are endless.
Traditionally, silver and gold were not paired in one outfit. But now? It’s a style statement. You might be able to come up with some funky or even elegant looks simply by mixing your jewelry pieces.
Can gold and silver work together?
The answer to this is a BIG YES. Silver and gold are in fact a great match together as a part of jewelry. They can upgrade your look if you know how to style them well.
These metallic colors complement each other without masking the beauty and elegance of each other.
How to rock your mixed and matched jewelry?
When it comes to pairing up your silver and gold pieces, it is important to know how to make them seem less ‘in your face’. You get my point, right? For example, if you’re going for a silver chain in your neck, you can contrast it by using a gold pendant.
Another great way to rock your style with them is by wearing them in a layer form. Like for instance, you can pair your long gold necklace with a smaller petite silver necklace higher up.
When to use this hybrid style?
Okay so knowing when to experiment with this hybrid style is the key to rock them on your outfits. Since gold and silver have a lustrous shine to them, they look ethereal over formal clothes.
Especially the heavy pieces with intricate work on them like necklaces and earrings match perfectly with semi-formal to formal outfits.
However, smaller and lighter pieces like rings and bracelets can be styled with street style or simple casual looks as well.
What to avoid when you mix silver and gold accessories?
When you take the brave decision of mixing silver and gold accessories to your look, you need to make sure that they’re the center of attention. Other accessories like belts and bags do not need the spotlight. Otherwise, what’s the point of your jewelry being there?
Another mistake that people make is that they mix colors with style. This ultimately results in an absurd look altogether. Even though fashion trends today are appreciated even if they’re unconventional, it does not mean that you go crazy. So when you think of pairing up your outfit with gold and silver jewelry, make sure it does not clash with the color and condition of it.

What is Gold Plated Jewelry? And is it a good idea? Part 2
The use of gold in jewelry making has been there for centuries. It has always been and probably always will be one of the most expensive yet exquisite metal to own. However, in the older times, gold was used in its pure, solid form in jewelry. But now, we have a little less heavy on the pocket version of these ‘gold jewelry’. Can you guess what it is? Gold plated jewelry!
Where can you find gold plated jewelry?
Gold plated jewelry is available at all local jewelry stores and online as well. Almost every jewelry company and market nowadays has gold plated jewelry included in their stock. You can easily come across a huge variety at Amazon. They are much cheaper options for anyone who wants their jewelry to give the impression of gold without actually being gold.
How do I know if my jewelry is gold plated or real gold?
Well, there’s no rocket science in determining if your jewelry is gold plated or not. Here’s how to be sure about the legitimacy:
The very first difference is the price point. A gold plated piece of jewelry will not cost you as much a pure gold piece would.
Secondly, gold plating tends to wear off while real gold hardly shows signs of flaking.
Thirdly, gold plating is usually more ‘vibrant’ looking. The tinge of golden color in gold plating is brighter than in real gold because of purity differences.
What is the worth of gold plated jewelry?
Generally, gold plated jewelry is not worth a lot. And that’s justified because it is just a layer of gold on another metal.
Does gold plating last long?
Gold plating would last long if you take care of it. Perhaps it can even last you a good 1-2 years considering the fact that it does not face any harsh exposures like sweat or acid.
How can I make my gold plated jewelry last long?
The best ways to keep your jewelry safe from tarnishes and have them last longer are:
- Cleaning them regularly with a mild cleaning solution
- Avoiding exposure to chemicals and friction
- Making sure you touch them with clean hands
Does gold plating trigger any allergic reactions?
In the initial days, it might not cause any allergic reaction but overtime, you might feel itchy and it may trigger reactions. However, this is only because of the metal underneath it that starts to penetrate through the gold layer and not the plating itself.
Can gold plating be compared to real gold?
Yes and No. Gold plating cannot be compared to the worth of real gold but in looks, there’s not a major difference. The gold plating is meant to create an illusion of real gold on your jewelry but at the end of the day, it’s just a layer of gold.
