Website Review of Step by Step as Resource

     I recently discovered a website with a lot of articles based on several different categories.  I zoned in on the jewelry articles of course, for example "How to Identify Bakelite."  I was also drawn to the article "How to Identify Vintage Costume Jewelry."
     There were a lot more articles of interest in the jewelry category, "How to Tell Real Gold From Fake", or "How to Become a Jewelry Maker."  How to Grade Pearls or How to Buy Jewelry Repair Tools and many, many, many,  more articles about jewelry, jewelry making, jewelry storing, metals, gemstones and on and on...
     Oh, did I forget to tell you the name of the website?  Of course I did.  If you have clicked on any of the links above you probably already know it.  But, just in case you have not went there yet, let me just say this.  It's worth a click.  The amount of information on this one website is tremendous.  Here is a link to their category page.
     The extensive list of categories will leave you breathless, and you don't even have to climb any stairs to get to it.  If you still haven't indulged by clicking a link, here it is, your final link, which just happens to be the title of the website.  It's a very appropriate title because that's exactly what each and every article will explain to the reader; how to do things, "Step by Step".
     Go ahead click on it, you won't be sorry.

What To Look For When Buying Pearls

Pearls come in many colors.  You'll find gray, green, black and even lavender shades in nature.  To spot a dyed pearl, look for a concentration of color at the drill holes.  You don't want these, you want the all natural ones.  Trust me.

Price depends largely on what the pearl's diameter measures in millimeters.  Just a 1 mm increase in size can double the price.  The most common size sold is approximately 7 mm and 7.5 mm.

Oysters never produce perfectly round pearls, no matter what "they" say.  Even still, the rounder the shape, the more desirable the pearl.  You'll find great buys on offbeat pieces made with obviously misshapen pearls.

Check out the pearl's luster or glow. The best ones are shiny.  The lesser ones are chalky and dull. The surface should also be free of bumps, spots or cracks or at least the design should hide them in the back of a piece.

There are many ways to wear a string of pearls.  Their versatility makes them a must have for your wardrobe.
