By: Keiko Hirano

Whether you are llooking for some pieces to add to your collection or are shopping for gifts, there are excellent ;online sources for handmade necklaces, barrettes, pendants, rings and earrings.

Real handmade silver jewelry is as gorgeous as unique. For the best shopping experience, follow these important pieces of advice.

1. Find a reputable supplier. This may go without saying, but don't confuse commercially designed jewellery with handcrafted silver jewellery. The handcrafted kind is designed by artisans which take great pride in their work. It's a good idea to search for a maker which has been in business for a long time, and that has been selling on the internet for several years.

2. Benefit from custom designing. When jewellery is handcrafted, it can be customized in any number of styles, from the size of chains to the types of jewels used in pendants and rings. You don't need to accept "almost good enough." On the contrary, you can receive the jewelry you've always wanted, in exactly the perfect size.

3. Be Sure You Have The Correct Measurements. This is because custom designed items~pieces usually~generally aren't returnable, it's important to assure that the handcrafted silver jewelry that you place an order for will be the size you need. In the case of rings, ask a friend to take a piece of string, put it around the knuckle or largest part of your finger, and put a mark on the string. To determine the size, hold the string up to a tape measure and compare your measurement with the site's sizing list. If you're in the middle of sizes, it's best to go the larger size. You also can do this for a bracelet, a necklace, and an anklet.

4. Research your gemstones. The top internet jewelry sites have all kinds of of information on gemstones. In advance of ordering, do your homework on the gems you are considering. It's vital to know, for instance, an aquamarine can be washed with dish soap, but using steam and ultrasonic cleaning may hurt the stone.

If you plan to order jewelry with gemstones, it's also important to know if the gems are natural or if the color has been altered.

5. Purchase in the natural thing. Silver jewelry is gorgeous, but only when it's authenic silver. Assure the internet source you decide on uses either sterling silver (.925 or 92.5 percent silver) or fine silver (99.9 percent pure silver).
