Are you saying that you feel bad because you are not wearing the jewelry you already have? Or that you are feeling bad for the jewelry?
I'm not quite getting your meaning.

No. I would just feel bad about all the money I wasted if I had so much jewelry that I didn't even wear most of it.

This is how I feel!

I totally get what you're saying and I do understand. I have more than enough.. but it is so hard to resist new things. The only thing i can say is to try to stop watching. I have felt guilty too about some purchases. Jewelry should bring us pleasure, not angst. I have decided tht something has to be so unique and special to buy it..or just fun costume jewelry like Joan Rivers.
I did buy the Carolyn Pollack cuff that was the tsv last week, and I honestly dont feel bad about that because I do feel like that was a special once in a lifetime piece. But I say its time to shop our jewelry boxes!

Hi Sanna. I understand what you are saying. I sold some jewelry I seldom wore two years ago and have been careful about my purchases since then. I do keep my jewelry organized in jewelry boxes. I have some lovely black onyx jewelry, but the black spinel turns my head. Then I have to remind myself -- you have some nice black onyx jewelry.... you don't need more black gems or stones. Same way with pearls. Bought some white, black and tuxedo pearls in Hawaii, plus have some Honora jewelry. But the advertised pearls turn my head. I have to turn my head back around! I have sensitive skin and don't wear metals that break my skin out, so I have an inventory of nice pieces for me and my daughters -- eventually. I keep telling myself -- do you want more jewelry or to take that trip to Scotland? I love jewelry, too. I get what you are saying.

I find I go through stages and will be not using some pieces as my ""go to"" jewelry. That is when I rehome things through the Bay.

Oh gosh! I have SO MUCH and I never wear it.... I try not to think about it all and all the many many thousands I spent on it all over the last 15 years of jewelry buying.

Yes, I can hear my jewelry whimpering in the drawer even as I type. I bought that Sleeping Beauty TSV yesterday, also the lever back square earrings, right in front of DH. My reasoning as I explained to him, I have no basic turquoise pieces, meaning just plain turquoise. I also gave him the mine is closed nonsense, and the fact the ring was at a great markdown. I have some Carolyn Pollack pieces, but they include other stones. I realize I may get an off color turquoise from the earrings, but don't really care. I gave up ordering turquoise on air years ago when I got some green pieces from QVC, but I don't think I'll be getting green Sleeping Beauty.
Edit: I didn't buy the TSV, I bought the basic three stone ring. Duh. I also have sold off pieces on Ebay, at local auctions, to U.S. Goldbuyers, and a local jeweler friend I met at the auctions. The buying and selling is addicting, but there are some pieces I will keep forever, like my Eterna Gold cigar band ring and EG plain bangle. I currently own about 125 rings and 50 bracelets.
