Autumn has bittersweet remnants of the summer that has just passed and chilly undertones of the winter to come. Listen carefully to the rustling of the leaves and stare adoringly at the glimmering sight of gold, orange and yellow falling from the trees. Sweater weather is upon us...

No one wants it if it's ugly!
Something most people look past when they purchase jewelry is the fact that it can be worn down. Excessive use can cause the color to fade and its value to drop. Here are some tips in keeping your jewelry fresh, always looking great for any occasion. You don’t have to spend money on purchasing a cleaning solution when instead you can make your own at home. With household materials, you can have a cleaning solution ready in no time. All you really need is half a cup of ammonia and a cup of warm water. You can soak your jewelry in it for about 15 minutes, and then rub clean with a soft cloth. You can then let them air dry on a clean linen towel.For diamond jewelry, especially things you wear everyday like silver charm bracelets, rub a small amount of white toothpaste using a small toothbrush to make it shine again. Rinse with cold water when done. The same can be done with sterling silver jewelry as well as using baking soda. Let me know if you need further tips. I like keeping my jewelry shining bright. Who wants gold that doesn’t gleam anyways?

Making A Statement With Gold Charms
For women that love jewelry, having a collection of yellow and white gold charms and one or more elegant charm bracelets is a great option for evening wear types of jewelry. The rich color of the gold combined with the timeless style of a charm bracelet is a natural match and there are several different options for how to wear and design these types of bracelets. Since they are so versatile they will match well with other types of jewelry include rings, watches and other bracelets.
When wearing larger rings and other types of jewelry for evening events, it makes great fashion sense to go with a less ornate style of gold charm bracelet. Minimal numbers of beautiful gold charms on a simple style of bracelet is very dramatic.
To achieve this look consider a simple style of bracelet that is single link. You can choose the more patterned beaded type of link or the simple chain link that is very striking. Add one large charm or three to five smaller charms to provide some dazzle to the bracelet.
A wide, decorative type of triple or double link bracelet can also be a great option with a few gold charms. This combination paired with one or more charms will draw more attention to the bracelet and also give a very rich look.
Lots of gold charms on a bracelet is also very appealing and adds that wonderful jangle as the bracelet moves. If you are adding lots of charms the result is typically a very feminine look, often with a heavier bracelet to keep the symmetry.
Always keep in mind that the more gold charms that are on a
bracelet the more they will contact each other and result in rubbing. Always consider this when placing the charms on the bracelet and avoid lots of highly shiny smooth surfaces touching, as this is where the most scratching can potentially occur.
Charms that feature hearts, crosses, round and oval disks or filigree types of charms great options for elegant evening styles of bracelets. Finding unique types of gold charms from around the world is also a great option as a classical piece of jewelry.
Adding gemstones to gold charms will provide a bit of color and dazzle on the bracelet and accent the luster of the gold. Often the most common gemstones used are the precious stones, rubies, diamonds, sapphires and emeralds and these colors look spectacular with gold charms of any shape and size.
