10 Fine Jewelry Pieces You Need in your Collection!

10 Fine Jewelry Pieces You Need in your Collection!

You may have noticed a few changes around Nashelle since we switched owners back in 2020. With the switch of owners, Nashelle has gone through a refresh, and among that refresh- has came the addition of Fine Jewelry. 

Our fine jewelry collection features sleek, classic, and timeless pieces you will love forever and can pass down as heirlooms. Our fine jewelry collection has 14k gold pieces which are perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. 

We have created a list of our Top 10 Fine Jewelry pieces you need to add to your collection right now!

Dainty Chain

Our Dainty Chain is a staple piece everyone should have in their jewelry collection. It’s the definition of a classic chain and one that will last you forever. You can choose from a variety of different metals (we love the 14k solid gold) and lengths. 

Ball Chain

A twist on our classic Dainty Chain, but still a staple piece in your collection. You can pair our Ball Chain with a charm or pendant. The reason we love the Ball Chain is because it seamlessly stacks with other necklaces in our collection.

Chain Huggies

We loved these from the moment we created them, and our customers love them just as much. Our Chain Huggies are great to dress up and down and spice up any outfit.

They are also classic enough, so you can wear them on the daily. They look great stacked as well and were created to go in either your first or second holes.

Gold Letter Charm

Letter Charms have been a trend we have seen this year and we are happy to say, they are here to stay. These classic pieces are not going anywhere. If you are someone who likes to personalize everything this is for you. We also love giving these charms as a gift to your best friend, sister, or mom. 

Herringbone Chain

Our Herringbone Chain will never go out of style. It’s a must-have piece for every jewelry wearer. Keep it simple by wearing the Herringbone Chain solo or jazz it up by stacking with your other favorite necklaces. We love to pair these with a paperclip necklace. 

Pearl Studs

Pearl Studs are another classic piece to add to your jewelry collection. Forever a classic! Our Pearl Studs feature 6mm round freshwater pearls and come in white pearl, pink pearl, and black pearl.

Endless Hoop Earrings

These Endless Hoop Earrings will be a jewelry piece you will find yourself grabbing from your jewelry box day after day. You cannot go wrong with a good pair of hoops. This simple, classic design will make you feel elegant everyday no matter what you are doing.

Muse Silk Hoop

Our Muse Silk Hoop earrings is the jewelry piece you did not know you needed in your collection until now. These earrings are our twist on a classic hoop, but with a unique, one-of-a-kind upgrade. Think of these as the Endless Hoop Earrings big sister. 

Diamond Charm

We love our Diamond Charm because it adds a bit of elegance without being too flashy to any chain of your choosing. Our Diamond Charm is easily added to our other fine jewelry bestseller the Dainty Chain. 

Tiny Dot Earrings

We love a good pair of stud earrings and these fit the bill. This is the perfect classic piece and would be the perfect addition to any earring stack or can be worn solo. Either way, these are one of our most grabbed pieces.

Because these are permanent pieces of jewelry they are not designed to be taken off, however, if you do decide you want to remove your piece of permanent jewelry you can use a pair of wire cutters or nail clippers at home or we can accommodate you in one of our locations. 

What if my bracelet or anklet breaks?

How to Pick Jewelry They’ll Love

How to Pick Jewelry They’ll Love
Nashelle's Guideline to Gift Giving!
           Who doesn't love receiving jewelry?! Read through for our
guideline on how to choose the perfect gift for your oh so perfect loved one!
Who are you shopping for?
The first thing you need to consider is who you’re shopping for, because everyone has different jewelry preferences. By considering who you’re buying for, you are ensuring you end up with a great gift, not just a good gift. It’s important to consider the recipient’s taste in jewelry and their overall personal style when picking jewelry.
If you don’t already know their personal style in jewelry, we suggest doing some investigative work and looking inside their current jewelry box or observe what they currently wear. 
We’ve even put together some things you’ll want to consider when picking jewelry: 
What types of pieces do they wear most often? Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings. 
Do they prefer gold or silver? 
Do they like pieces that are more classic, modern, or maybe a bit more sparkly? 
Do they like diamonds and/or other gemstones? If so, which ones? 
If purchasing diamonds, what size and cut diamonds do they prefer? 
If purchasing earrings, what size and style earrings do they wear? Studs, hoops, drop, or chandelier earrings. 
Do they wear bracelets? If so, what kind of bracelet cuffs, bracelets with charms, or bangles.
When it comes to rings, do they like more simple rings or something a bit more detailed or ornate?
All of these things are important to think about when buying a piece of jewelry for the one you love. 
Make it Uniquely Theirs
When picking jewelry as a gift, one way to make it more meaningful is customization. We offer a number of customization options, and we love how customization makes a jewelry piece uniquely theirs, this way you know they’re getting a one-of-a-kind gift. 
One way to customize jewelry when gift giving is by adding charms, engraving, or the addition of gemstones. Customized jewelry is a great way to personalize pieces and make them stand out in someone’s collection. Sometimes all it takes is choosing the right material or using textural elements like our hammered pieces. 
Consider the Quality
One of the most important things you can do when purchasing jewelry, and especially when purchasing jewelry as a gift is to consider the quality of the item you are purchasing.
When you purchase from us, at Nashelle we always give you the best and highest quality with all of our metals. That being said there are different metal types to choose from, we personally sell 14k gold and 14k gold fill or gold filled as well as sterling silver.  Different types of metals mean you’ll have to care the jewelry differently. 
The same goes for diamonds and other gemstones. For example, we ensure the pearls you purchase from all are all sustainable and ethically sourced with no dies added to alter the color of the natural pearl. 
How to Secretly Know Their Ring Size
Are you planning on popping the big questions soon? We know how important it is for your proposal to go perfectly and the last thing you want to be worrying about is if you’ve gotten the right ring size. That’s why we put together some tips on how to secretly know their ring size:
Borrow one of their existing rings and take it to a jeweler
Ask their best friend or mom what size ring they wears 
Trace around one of their current rings- just trace the outside and inside of the ring on a piece of paper and bring it into a jeweler.
We hope this gift buying guide has been inspiring! We'd love to help you find the perfect gift, come visit our downtown location or our Empire showroom!
Xoxo

Know Your Gold | Quality & Care Guide

Know Your Gold | Quality & Care Guide

OUR WISH FOR YOU is the same wish we have for your new adornments; we want you both to live your best life. The jewelry you purchase from Nashelle is crafted from high quality metals and is intended to last you many years. In this guide we will go over each of the gold metals that we offer and share lifestyle tips and tricks to best care for your jewelry to keep them looking gorgeous for years to come.

Let’s begin with favorite metal, 14k GOLD.

14K OR 18K GOLD

For many of us, gold is the creme de la creme of metals. With it’s gorgeous sun like luster, it is resistant to rust, tarnish, and corrosion. Since pure 24k gold is too soft for everyday wear it’s alloyed with a mixture of silver, copper and a trace of zinc to give it strength and durability. This hardens your jewelry, making it possible for you to pass these precious pieces down the generational line.

We offer two options for “pure gold”: 14 and 18 karat. 18 Karat is 75% gold, while 14 Karat is 58.3% gold.  The karatage that’s right for you is a matter of personal preference or budget. What is important to note when choosing which is the right choice for you keep in mind that 14k Gold offers a fantastic balance of durability and price because of the higher percentage of alloys used. 18k Gold is a more luxurious option with an increased precious appeal. Remember 18k is softer and less durable than 14k because of the higher amount of malleable pure gold in the alloy.

CARE:

The Quick Breakdown: Keep your adornments away from chemicals and wash them when they are exposed. Remove your jewelry when you sleep and exercise, and give them a good cleaning every now and then using this simple method.

  1. Soak your piece in a mix of gentle soap and warm water.
  2. Use a soft cloth or a super soft toothbrush to get into smaller spaces.
  3. Rinse ALL the soap off.
  4. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or air dry.
  5. Wear or store in an airtight space. Be sure your piece is completely dry before storing.

14K GOLD FILL OR “GOLD FILLED”

Yes, They both mean the same thing.

Gold Filled is 2nd only to solid gold. This metal offers the beauty and luster of 14K gold at an affordable price point making it an extremely popular alternative to 14K gold. Contrary to it’s name “Gold Filled”, this metal is not “filled” with gold. The gold is actually on the outside and is made with a process that involves mechanically pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14K gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality brass. This metal is a strictly regulated US industry standard that legally requires 5% (1.20th) pure gold by weight . So basically imagine a very resilient exterior of pure 14K gold exterior layer with a brass interior and you have “Gold Filled”.

This metal will not flake, rust, or peel off. Skin sensitivity is extremely uncommon. Since the exposed layer is 14K Gold you should have the same experience as if your skin is exposed to pure gold. Now, will it stand the test of time like 14K gold, no. However, it can come pretty close if you choose to take good care of it.

14K ROSE GOLD FILL

Another popular metal we offer is 14K Rose Gold Fill. As the name implies, this is is a 14K gold exterior with a rosy hue achieved by mixing the gold with copper.  This option follows the same specifications as yellow gold, with a thick layer of 14k gold over a jeweler’s brass core. Both 14k yellow gold and 14k rose gold alloys contain the same amount of 14k solid gold. It’s the combination of metals that are added to the pure, 24k gold that changes the color—the pure gold part is that constant 58% of the alloy.

The thing I will note about this metal is that it does seem more susceptible to tarnish and needs to be cleaned more frequently to maintain its’ shine. You will care for this metal the same way you care for 14k gold fill.

14K GOLD FILL CARE

The Quick Breakdown: Keep your adornments away from chemicals and wash them when they are exposed. Remove your jewelry when you sleep and exercise, and give them a good cleaning every now and then using this simple, yet highly effective method.

  1. Soak your piece in a mix of gentle soap and warm water.
  2. Use a soft cloth or a super soft toothbrush to get into smaller spaces.
  3. Rinse ALL the soap off.
  4. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or air dry.
  5. Wear or store in an airtight space. Be sure your piece is completely dry before storing.

LIFESTYLE IS KEY

If cared for properly this metal can potentially last for a really long time. Some say it can last a lifetime.  Can and will are not the same thing. Speaking from personal experience, I have literally lived in three 14K Gold Fill bangles and rings for over 5 years and they are still almost as golden as they were the day I got them. This said, lifestyle plays the biggest role in the longevity of your jewelry so let’s go over the main elements of care and what can get in the way of your gold living its best life.

1: Exposure: What your jewelry is exposed to, or not exposed to, will be the number one player in how gracefully your adornment ages. You definitely want to keep your gold filled jewelry away from any kind of harsh chemicals found in soaps, cleaning products, pools, Jacuzzis, perfumes, lotions, sunscreens, salt water, makeup etc. Exposure to these products will very likely compromise the quality of your gold and you will notice the color of your gold will darken over time. One of the best things you can do to care for your jewelry is remove it before you expose it to any of these elements. If your jewelry is exposed to these things, no big deal, give them a thorough clean. The sooner you get to cleaning it, the less damage the exposure will do. Again, lifestyle is the key here; be mindful of what you put your jewelry through on a regular basis..

  1. The Shower + Water: People always ask if they can shower in their gold filled jewelry.  The answer is yes if you use gentle soaps, and no if you don’t. Frequent exposure to fresh water will cause no harm.  Showering in your gold filled jewelry should not compromise the quality as long as you are not exposing it to any of the harsh elements mentioned above, or scrubbing with a rough brush which could result in scratch. This is a really important thing to note. If you prefer more conventional personal care products containing sulfites and parabens, you may want to remove your jewelry before showering to prolong the life of your gold.

2: Sleep: We recommend removing your jewelry before sleeping. Sleeping in your jewelry won’t necessary compromise the quality of your gold, but it could greatly decrease the longevity of the design. Some of our dainty earrings and chains are not made to be lived in and are more likely to break if worn during sleep. It can also be noted that you will likely sleep more soundly without jewelry on.

  1. Sweat + Working out: Even though it looks cute to workout in your jewelry, its not the best thing for either of you. One, it can be distracting and really get in the way of your focus. Two, you can damage your jewelry more easily during a workout (remember this is a soft metal). And three, sweat builds up on you jewelry. Though your sweat won’t damage gold filled jewelry, you’ll want to clean it after. So when it comes to risk v’s reward, we recommend to remove your jewelry before a workout.
