We don’t wait until spring only to wear beautiful clothes, but also to buy it! It is finally the flea market season and here are all our tips for buying the most beautiful jewelry.
Finding his happiness in a garage sale is not that complicated! And it’s even simpler on the jewelry side than on the clothing side, because we are more likely to find a ring in your waist than a pants. The most difficult, however, is not to get lost.
In most garage sales and flea markets, jewelry is arranged on scattered tables, or in boxes in which it is even more difficult to see clearly. So you have to have a few tips in mind to be sure to find quality jewelry and/or that are worth the triple of the price purchased! Indeed, it is not uncommon for someone to find a slightly old necklace or ring, refurbished it and realizes the jeweler that it is in fact worth thousands of euros. For that, you have to have a few tips in mind.
First of all, you have to know exactly what you are looking for and happen soon enough. Rings, pin, necklaces, chains, bracelets, cuffs … The first error is to go to a garage sale without knowing what you want. There are so many possibilities that it is difficult to know what to choose. You can of course crack for a particular jewel. But to make a good purchase, you have to know precisely what you come to look for.
Then it is important to know how to recognize authentic jewelry. A certain knowledge of pearls, precious stones, silver and gold is essential. There are some simple tips for that. For example, to identify the pearl, it is enough to crunch it slightly: a false will leave a trace, while a real one will remain intact. The same goes for precious stones. You can test them by rubbing them against a mirror: if it leaves a stripe, it is probably authentic.
On the other hand, identifying gold or money requires a little more attention. In particular, we must identify the small inscriptions engraved on the ring. And above all, do not flee a tarnished silver ring by time: a simple cleaning is often enough to give it back all its shine. Do not hesitate to search in the boxes: this is where we sometimes make the best discoveries!
