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.

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.

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.

Sapphires- The Favored Gemstone
Whether royal blue or hot pink, sapphires are one of the most popular stones among jewelry buyers. Read ahead to learn more about this dazzling gemstone.
What are sapphires made of?
Sapphires mostly consist of the mineral conundrum. What’s so special about sapphires is that by adding small doses of other elements, sapphires can be altered to form almost any colour of the rainbow. For example, blue sapphires get their colour by adding tiny amounts of titanium and iron into conundrum while pink sapphires are made by adding small amounts of chromium.
Why We Love Them
Sapphires are only rightly a favourite among jewellery buyers. They come in a variety of colours and shades, meaning everyone can find something that dazzles them. Another feature found in some sapphires is a colour shift that seems a different shade in changing light conditions. Bicolor sapphires, on the other hand, flaunt two distinct colours all the time. Sapphires are also one of the hardest stones out there (found just below diamonds on the Mohs Hardness Scale). This makes them durable and resistant to scratches and thus perfect for jewellery for everyday use.
How to Choose Your Sapphire
So now that you’ve decided that you want a sapphire stone on your ring, what exactly should you look for while buying the stone?
Colour
Perhaps the most important feature is to check out several colours and find on that speaks to your taste and preference.
Clarity
Unlike diamonds that are scrutinized under magnification for inclusions, it is taken for granted that most sapphires do have trace minerals in them. So the goal is to make sure that there are no visual inclusions visible to the naked eye.
Cut
Unlike diamonds, sapphires have no standardize cut to maximize their sparkle. Instead, sapphire is cut custom. Lighter colours are cut thick to deepen their colour’s intensity, and darker stones are cut thinner to brighten the stone.
Carat
Carat refers to the weight of the stone and not the size. Sapphires are denser than diamonds, and so a one-carat sapphire is usually smaller than a one-carat diamond.
At Master Jewelers Indiana, we have over 20-plus years working with gemstones. Sapphires are a popular favorite for many good reasons. Come in or check out our Sapphire jewelry online. Remember, we are here to design it for your style.
