Stones Settings
To judge the quality of the jewelry setting, pay close attention to details. Is the metal holding the stone even and smoothly finished so it won't catch on clothing? Is the stone held firmly and square in the setting? Is the metal well polished with no little burrs of metal or pockmarks?
Inexpensive jewelry often is very lightweight to give you a bigger look for the money. If a piece is lightweight, pay special attention to the prongs holding the stone: are they sturdy? Do they grip the stone tightly? You won't be happy about the money you saved in gold cost if you lose your stone!
If the piece is gold, does it have a karatage mark? Is the company trademark stamped next to it? If it is, the company is standing behind that mark and assuring you that the karatage is as stated.
When buying a necklace, make sure it lays well around the neck. For earrings, check to make sure that they hang well from the ear and don't tip forward. Designs that are symmetrical should have a left and right which mirror each other.
Here is one final hint from real jewelry buying pros: if a piece of jewelry is really well made, the back will be well finished also.
