Most of what I wear is pretty expensive, so no.

I just politely say thank you

Do you buy them the piece for a gift? Someone I appreciate and like very much-she said a necklace I was wearing was beautiful. An inexpensive statement necklace.

So I looked online, had purchased it online. But it was no longer available. Went to the store and there was one left! So I put it away for her birthday in May.

Of course it depends upon how expensive the piece is too. Unless you're willing and able to splurge on them.

Nobody "admires" my jewelry......all they ever say is: "Is that real?".......

What a lovely gesture from one jewelry lover to a friend, greeneyedlady and Kachina624!

I get compliments alot on my jewelry, but I have to admit I never thought of purchasing it for them. I don't mean to sound self fish but I like having something different than everyone else.

@Desertdi lol about "Is it real?" I get that a lot about my engagement ring/eternity wedding band. Most of the time, I'm wearing jewelry I made. If it gets a compliment or asked where to purchase it, I explain that.

Most of my "good" jewelry is inherited pieces and gets passed on to the women/girls in the family.

@Kachina624. It seems as though you're a very generous person. Definitely those who receive a piece of the jewelry that meant a lot to you are quite grateful for that gift.

For me, this is not about whether the receiver of this gift will love this jewelry piece above all others. It's about showing someone that they are a treasured friend. If I were on the receiving end of this gesture, I would appreciate the kindness being shown to me and recognize that I matter to the person who is giving the gift.

That's a wonderful feeling...to be appreciated and cared about.

Hi Kachina624, I feel the same way I have taken pieces off and given it to friends, but I have also admired pieces on friends and I have gotten them as gifts. It's nice to give pieces away to special people.

I agree, jewelry lovers do recognize each other. I get pleasure out of giving pieces too.
