Storage and Maintenance Tips
In order to keep your jewelry wardrobe looking good for years; your jewelry needs to be carefully stored and maintained. Carefully store your jewelry separately so that pieces can't scratch one another and necklaces don't get tangled. This can damage your jewelry and be frustrating (if you've ever spent too much time untangling a necklace, you understand). If your jewelry happens to get damaged, some companies like With Clarity offer lifetime warranties on their products. You'll need to research any company that you're considering and see what requirements they have. Some require any repairs to be made by the jewelry to be covered.
Budget-Friendly Options
You can buy jewelry at all sorts of price points. One way to stretch your budget is to consider getting a lab grown diamond. It's a "real" diamond that is not only affordable but also an environmentally-friendly option that's also ethically sourced. You can have peace of mind with your purchase and get a stunning yet affordable diamond.
