Jewelry

[Shanus]

I have a peg board hanging on the wall inside my closet. It’s covered w/ huge, colorful statement necklaces. I haven’t worn them in at least 2 yrs. I haven’t noticed them being sold in stores either.

This afternoon’s project is packing them up in bubble wrap and storing them in a clear bin on a closet shelf. 

Everything comes back in style...usually AFTER I’ve donated mine. 😜

I recently donated a huge amount of unworn jewelry to my local animal rescue for their silent auctions.

This past Friday, I attended one of their events and laughed to myself when I saw lots and lots of my items out for bid.

One very large turquoise necklace looked especially beautiful.  My husband asked if I wanted it, and then I really laughed. 

I had to confess it was a donation along with most of the jewelry on the table!  Fortunetly, none of the items were gifts from him.

I have also donated some of mine especially necklaces. I’ve worn very few of my necklaces since I retried so figure I might as well do something with them while I can make the decisions myself. Sometimes I forget what I have which is a sign I have too much! LOL.

@Shanus   I have exactly the same in my bedroom against the wall space behind the bedrm door. LOTS of fun, lovely, colorful fashion necklaces and some matching bracelets hanging on hooks. I HAD to because I have SO many pieces mostly from my working years. Nowadays if I pull from this collection I need to 'dust' it off!!!  I won't part with any of these pieces because I love them all still!

It would be so fun to compare pieces with you Ms Shanus!

A woman down the street had a yard sale a few weeks ago so I asked her if I could bring some stuff I had, a bunch of costume jewelry mostly that I haven't worn in eons. I told her just to keep the money if any of it sold and that I didn't want the jewelry back either. She was happy with that and I never went back. I was just happy to get it out of my house.

At my advanced age if it comes back I won't be here to welcome it so out it goes!

My biggest neck piece sits in the bank.  A 38 gram 18K Omega.  One to the big honkers of the last century (it seems)  Maybe if I ever have a grandaughter, then perhaps one day it might even come back in style.

@songbird   I inherited 2 humongous gold rope chains 36” from my mother...Mr. T would be envious. Into the melt and sell pile.

I’ve donated a lot of costume jewelry to our local theatre group. Didn’t realize they’d need it for costumes, etc.

I wear mine.  To me this is a classic and something that is far beyond statement necklaces and other items that are fads and go away.
