初めてジュエリーを買うなら?ジュエリーデビューにおすすめの素材

Which one is best if you are buying jewelry for the first time? Recommended materials for jewelry debut

Many customers choose IMULTA for their first jewelry, accessories, or gifts.

However , there are many people who have never purchased jewelry before and want to try it on, but don't know which one is good.

Therefore, this time we will talk about materials recommended for first-time jewelry buyers.

 

Which material is best if you are buying jewelry for the first time?

It depends on how often you can clean it.

  • Brass with gold plating (18kgp)
  • silver

We recommend these two.

 

Recommended 1: Brass with gold plating (18 kgp)

If you consider price and care, plated brass jewelry is one of the recommended options.

Some people may not have a good image of plating because there has been a saying that "plating can peel off" for a long time, but the plating technology in recent years is amazing, so it won't peel off easily. (If you wear it every day, it will peel off to some extent)

 

The good thing about plated accessories is that

  • Resistant to dirt and scratches
  • Rust prevention
  • beautiful coloring

Just by looking at it, you can see that it doesn't require much maintenance.

The disadvantages are that the plating will peel off if you use car compound to clean it, and if the plating peels off, you won't be able to reapply it yourself.

 

Allergic reaction to brass jewelry

It is generally said that plated jewelry is less likely to cause allergic reactions.

However, allergic reactions vary from person to person, and allergic reactions may occur regardless of the presence or absence of plating.

Think of it as better than wearing unplated brass or copper.

 

What about unplated brass?

Brass jewelry is reasonably priced even if it is gold-plated, so it can be said to be a good choice for beginners in jewelry.

However, unplated brass accessories are difficult to maintain, so we honestly do not recommend them to those who are buying accessories for the first time.

It is much easier to get dirty than silver, and if handled roughly, it will develop patina and rust quickly.

In other words, unplated brass accessories are suitable for people who take care of them fairly frequently.

If you buy cheaply just by looking at the price, you may regret it because of the tools and time required to maintain it, so be sure to check the care instructions before purchasing.

On the other hand, if you are a person who maintains a minimum level of care, you can enjoy brass accessories that are not gold-plated without any problems.

Recommended 2: Silver

Silver is the most recommended material for your first jewelry.

Recommended points for silver jewelry

  • Enjoying the texture and color change of scratches
  • Value it because it costs a certain amount
  • Easy to clean

 

The No.1 recommended material is silver.

The most recommended reason for silver jewelry is that ``you can enjoy the texture of all the scratches and changes in color as you wear it.''

Not only is there no problem even for beginners with easy care, but you can enjoy the appearance of the accessory even if it gets a little dirty.

Furthermore, if used on a daily basis, it will not rust, so it is possible to restore its shine by repolishing it. (Depending on the coin silver or alloy, it will rust)

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of affordable silver jewelry, so you should be able to find jewelry that fits your budget.

Many customers choose IMULTA's silver jewelry as gifts because it is easy to care for and has a wide range of budgets and designs.

What does it mean for the texture of accessories to “grow”?

People who love silver accessories often say things like ``the taste comes out'' and ``they grow''.

This is because after the surface sulfurizes (darkens), you have to polish it to your liking using silver-specific polishing cloths and care products.

Some people refer to the texture of the item as it is left on, so there are various perceptions, but this is because silver is a metal that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.

You can feel that it is your own jewelry, not only when you purchase it, but also as it changes as you wear it.

This time it was a story for jewelry beginners.

Considering the budget and care, accessories made of brass with gold plating are the best option.

If you want to use it for a lifetime in the long run, go for silver accessories.

Think about how long you can take care of it, what kind of occasion you want to wear it for, what kind of fashion you want to match it with, etc. when choosing.
