How To Tell Whether The Jewelry Is Valuable?
30 Jul

Jewellery is something that enhances the femininity and adorns the beauty of a woman. Not from today, jewellery plays an integral role in making a woman more charming and alluring from the ancient time. Jewellery is having a very vast variety from the heavy necklaces to the very minimalist art of jewellery and these are made from different materials and many valuable and precious gems and stones. The thing that decides the value of jewellery is the material used to make that and the stone or gem used in that. However, there are many parameters by which we can determine that how much the jewellery is valuable and today we are going to discuss those points that will ensure that your jewellery is valuable or not. Here is the list starts:

  1. 1. Check for the Hallmarks - One of the first things that you should check while purchasing jewellery is the hallmark. A hallmark generally tells us the metal content used in the jewellery. Hallmark also denotes the country of origin, designer or manufacturer. In short, buying jewellery without the hallmark is not a good idea. Hallmark reflects how much the jewellery is pure this is the matter why we always have to check the hallmark.
  2. 2. The weight of the Jewellery - Generally the original silver and gold jewellery is a bit heavier than their fake replicates made up of brass and pewter. So if you are buying jewellery, especially a bangle or a chain, that is thick in size and light in weight then the probably that is made up of fake or hollow gold. After all fake jewellery is fake. The rigid gold jewellery is made heavy, strong and very smooth that obviously cannot found in fake jewellery.
  3. 3. Look for the prongs - High-quality valuable jewellery uses prongs to make the jewellery more finest and classier. There is also some jewellery in which stones are just glued and not pronged and apparently those are not that much valuable. For instance, if you are buying a ring and that looks likes the stone is glued into the settings with no prongs holding the stone then probabilities are high that the ring is a piece of costume jewellery. Here is a pro tip for you - The old vintage jewellery that has valuable gems and stone all set with prongs can be very valuable.

We know that there are a lot more parameters that determine how much jewellery is valuable like shape, worth of the material and vintagness of jewellery but these are some basic steps to check whether the jewellery is worth it or not.
