Do you know anything about jewelry?
Or do you think you know? Do you put your trust in a handsome shop window or an (interim) salesperson?
Jewelry is definitely fanciful and it is definitely worth continuing to buy quality jewelry. The emphasis is on quality, though.
With this article, I would like to give you some special useful information that you should pay attention to when making your purchases regarding jewelry.
Temporary or permanent jewelry?
Copper or an iron jewel with beautiful brilliant glass, finished with a very temporary layer of gilding or white rhodium. Or an already better real silver gem?
Fair? No! Absolutely no!
You know them a famous brand that seduces you with beautiful crystals. Or the fantasy gems for a euro or ten. It's true you don't spend money on them, along the other hand it's also worth absolutely nothing! And there are also millions of them produced.
Not only is it a waste of money, it also harms your own health. Yes, cheap jewelry contains heavy metals or is treated with toxins that can be carcinogenic! And you are creating a huge ecological footprint. Produced in low cost countries that have no environmental regulations whatsoever. You are therefore not only poisoning yourself but also the planet.
Don't fool yourself any longer, just because it shines doesn't mean it's diamond and not everything that shines is made of gold!
Durable and sustainable
Does it always have to be expensive? That is also relative but usually something beautiful also costs something. You get something in return, of course!
A passionate craftsman will always make sure that your order is perfectly finished and you also get real quality and pure craftsmanship in return with top-notch after-service!
Want to go for a sustainable piece of jewelry? That too is now perfectly possible with fair trade gold and fair trade diamonds! Of course these labels provide a positive value for both the environment and people, but they also come with an extra price tag!
Would you like another ecological alternative? Well "old gold" certainly is! It is not only ecological through re-use it saves enormously in price!
An alternative to the expensive diamonds can be " lab grown diamonds, made in a lab by man but identical to the natural variety. Both in hardness and chemical and brilliance. The only difference is the price and that it is 100 % ecological and conflict-free.
