Isn’t it amazing that you can buy everything online and have it delivered right to your doorstep? In our lives, it’s just as much a matter of convenience too. However, when it comes to luxury products like jewelry, many of us hesitate to order online, preferring to make in-person purchases that are more reliable. But times have changed! Here’s a guide to ensure that your online jewelry purchases are real, authentic and beautiful.

Research before you shop!

Yes, jewelry is one of the most easy-to-love possessions, but after you are done ogling that piece online, do a run-of-the-mill research of the jewelry maker’s website – who they are, where are they based out of, what’s the contact number, is it working? Just finding out these basic things will give you the signal – to buy or not to buy

Ask for referrals

It’s always better to be doubly sure of an online jewelry website that you’ve never heard about. You can ask for referrals from your family or friends, any jewelry enthusiast in your circle, or you could even hit up your favorite fashion blogger and ask them for their recommendations.

Look for online reviews

Who better to trust than fellow jewelry lovers like you! Just like with most online buying, client reviews and testimonials are an amazing way to get the peace of mind you need to make this special purchase a success. Spend a while going through them and you’ll learn about everything from the quality of the product to the delivery.

Check materials used for jewelry

The internet is filled with fakes, but amongst them, fake jewelry is the easiest to sell. They are made equally attractive as the original one, and that’s all that matters in the case of jewelry. So make sure you check the material that it’s made of. Look up and be sure that what you are investing in is real gold, silver or any other precious materials. Ensure you get a certificate of authenticity with your product.

Don’t fall for too high or too low prices

All the glitter is not gold, remember? An attractive looking website and a high price tag doesn’t prove the authenticity of jewelry. Just carry out the basic background check as explained above. The same holds true for low priced jewelry. If it’s too good to be true, then it probably isn’t.

Check the returns policy

One last thing – the return policy. It’s the most ignored part of the online shopping experience. Jewelry is worn and it needs to make you feel good. Now shopping online doesn’t offer this to you but you can still get this experience with a customer friendly return policy. And we feel that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this!

So here you go. Now you should feel more confident about buying that piece of jewelry that you have kept saved in your browser’s bookmarks. Happy safe and fun online jewelry shopping!

If you’re a millennial or Gen-Z, you’re definitely one of those with a long follow list of experimental and wacky jewelry brands on IG. Move over t-shirts and diamonds, it’s time for crop tops and toy rings! Playful, colourful, pop and very Y2K, and the latest trend through which fashion history is repeating itself, for the late bloomers – acrylic rings are the slightly oversized and bulky jewels that are all the rage. These bad boys are usually solid with a translucent or opaque finish topped with OTT jewels. Sometimes, they also feature smiley faces, flowers, rocks and a whole bunch of kitschy motifs. The rings can be paired easily with your outfits due to a wide range of design options and easy storage. Not just jewelry enthusiasts, but even fashionistas like Dua Lipa and Bella Hadid have caught the toy ring fever. So, without much further ado let us change your mind in favour of these ‘Lord of the Millennials’ rings to revamp your look. Here are some interesting ideas to nail this trend – 

Start with gems!

If you aren’t convinced with the idea of a mega-sized ring around your finger that doesn’t look expensive, start with something familiar – gems. Opt for bling rings that come with an acrylic exterior with a larger-than-life jewel in the centre that will work as a great conversation starter.

Keep ’em colourful!

Take a good look of your outfit! If your outfit of the day is simple, monotoned, or basic, the best way to go about styling it is to pick a vibrant coloured bauble in bright lime, orange or strawberry pink.

Prints are in!

Ask yourself what you like! It could be a pop culture movie character, cartoon, flower, mountain, gemstone…the possibilities are endless. Just pick one…or more and find the prettiest acrylic ring that can hold its image in the centre to enhance the look.

Feel the nostalgia!

This trend dates back to the 90s and early 2000s, so try to figure out objects that take you back to that time. These have to be super personal, like band-aids, candy, crayons, etc. With acrylic rings, you can place whatever you want in the centre without worrying about the aesthetics. Remember, your piece must tell a story – your story.

See through them!

Apart from colours, you can also opt for pretty and clear ones that go with absolutely anything. Opt for a slightly tinted version of your favourite colours to nail that subtle look.

Holidays are for fun! But what’s fun without a little (or lots of) flaunting. The designer dresses, the extravagant coats, the bold jackets, and to complement them all the exorbitant jewelry.

Jewelry that will steal the show at first glance and make you the most talked about person at the holiday destination. But unlike dresses that easily make their space inside the suitcase, jewelry is delicate and packing them can get complicated. So here are a few tips to remove one ‘complicated relationship’ from your life:

Start with the most obvious question – what do you want and what do you need? When packing for a trip, it’s a good idea to pick your jewelry according to the outfits that make your holiday wardrobe. But if you’re like most jewelry lovers, that only narrows your options slightly. Where do you go from here?

There’s no need to bring your entire jewelry box along for the trip, be choosy with them too! Firstly, pack your go-to jewelry that is easy to mix and match with any outfit. The shiny metals like gold or silver can give any outfit an instant glow up. If you’re more low-key, use black accents or white gems to go with your outfits.

Now, choose a singular colour palette for your jewelry according to the clothes that you are taking with you. You’ll make things easier for yourself if you stick to one portion of the colour wheel with your jewelry. After you’ve made your selections, it’s time to figure out how to pack them. Here’s what we recommend for different jewelry pieces.

For necklaces
You can use cloth pouches or plastic bags to put the first layer of covering. Followed by a wooden or old metal box casing that’ll prevent pressure on the jewelry. Alternatively, you can grab some shelf liner and place your necklaces on it, with space in between them, and then gently roll the fabric up.

For rings
You can easily pack your smaller rings in a medicine pill case that has separate days inscribed on them. For the larger ones, string them together in one loop and tie a knot. You can put it inside pouches, zip-lock bags, or jewelry boxes.

For bracelets
You should store your bracelets in a different pouch or zip-lock bag so as not to get it tangled with your necklaces. You can also create your own jewelry roll by rolling up a cloth and sliding your bracelets over it.

For earrings
Find a piece of thick cloth, thin enough for you to pierce your earrings through. If you don’t have any fabric lying around, use cardboard, or a sturdy piece of paper from an old shoebox and punch your own holes through it.

For a more elegant solution for a stylish wanderer like yourself, we recommend a travel jewelry case, because individual containers can be cumbersome to carry. Therefore, go for a stylish, sleek case that packs all of your jewelry for the vacation, in dedicated compartments. One place you want to be extra selective is your expensive jewelry – leave it at home if you can. You cannot completely rely on your hotel suite lockers, stuff stolen from these lockers make many horror vacation stories. So be careful and if you decide to go ahead with our hacks, then go extra creative and enjoy the process. Bon voyage!

Do’s and Don’ts for cleaning your jewelry at home

Jewelry is more than a priceless object. It is invaluable for its significance, the story of how it came into your life, the memories attached to wearing them. And so, they must be cared for. Whether it’s the everyday ring your grandma once wore, the very first pair of earrings you bought yourself or a gift from your partner that you always adorn. With these easy-as-ever tips for cleaning your jewelry at home, you can keep every piece sparkling new, for years to come.

But first, why does your jewelry need cleaning?

All jewelry needs the occasional spruce up, to bring back its shine and repair any damage it has picked up from the elements, such as grime or dust. Even hand creams and sunscreens can tarnish the sheen of precious metals. But fret not! You don’t need a professional jeweller to help restore your pieces to their original glory. Just do it yourself, with these easy at-home tricks.

1. Check your jewelry

Take out all your jewelry that you wish to clean, including the regularly and occasionally worn ones. Comb your eyes over them to notice where they stand. Some might just need a simple rinse, others might require something a bit more thorough.

2. Clean without chemicals

When you clean your jewelry at home, you can choose to use clean and safe ingredients. For most pieces, including pure gold and silver, or plated, rose and white gold, you can wash them in warm soapy water. Make sure the soap you use is as gentle, colourless and fragrance free as possible. In order to clean out any grime and dirt stuck between the crevices, use a soft bristled toothbrush or cotton swabs. This is the ideal way to clean diamond jewelry too.

Important tips! Don’t keep soft gems like pearls and opals soaking in water for too long. And never place jewelry with precious stones in water that is too hot, as they might crack. Once you have finished washing the jewelry, pat them dry with tissues or napkins.

3. Cleaning precious metals

Of all the precious metals, platinum needs the least cleaning. For silver jewelry, many solutions are available in the market that simply require a soak to eliminate any tarnishes and bring back the sparkle. Be careful when using a chemical cleaning solution on jewelry with precious stones, as it may cause damage. Another popular way to clean precious jewelry across all metal varieties is a polishing cloth. This is a professional jewellers’ quality cloth that you can simply rub over the jewelry till you see its shine. Other mediums include polishing creams and sprays.

4. Store your jewelry

Once your jewelry is clean, store it properly so that it stays that way for as long as possible. Many times, we end up leaving our daily-wear pieces in the bathroom, but the humidity in the air speeds up tarnishing. It’s best to keep your jewelry in a box or pouch, away from flowing air and dust. To avoid scratching between pieces, keep your precious jewelry compartmentalised.

At Youlry, we believe in exquisite products and detailed care, so that your jewelry radiates in its purest and brightest form, always. We recommend reading the jewelry care instructions carefully so that you can keep your jewelry in prime condition.
