Jewelry

[wilma]

My jewelry collection consists of necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, and watches. I don’t wear earrings. Most of my pieces are classic & understated. I don’t wear super bold large colorful pieces. 

I own more necklaces than any other style of jewelry. I own about 20 different necklaces. I like having a variety for all the different tops & sweaters I have. I have fashion necklaces, gold & silver necklaces, chains in different lengths with various pendants, beads, etc. 

I have fewer watches, rings, brooches, & bracelets, and I tend to wear the same ones over and over again so there’s no reason to buy more of those. 

What about you? What’s your jewelry collection look like?

I have some of everything.  I wear it all (not at once ).

I have a lot of stuff - a couple of boxes and an armoire full.

Every so often I go through to see what's in them - and then end up  wearing the same stuff.  

I was thinking recently - I should bring out the pearls.  Haven't worn them in years.

I've been buying gold and silver for more than 50 years and I have a beautiful collection.  About 14 years ago my home was burglarized and I lost a lot of my Native American jewelry ( including three squash blossoms I'd inherited from my mother) and some gold and Mikimoto pearls.  These were among my favorites but I still have plenty ( and have since more than replaced my N.A. jewelry).  During this difficult time I'm not wearing any of it (except wedding set and a watch) but I still take it out and play with it.

I have a lot, so much I forget what I have, and lots of everything including about 100 high-quality watches.  I have no costume except of few piece of Joan Rivers and Linea.  I have mucho turquoise jewelry, mostly older Indian made pieces, and almost everything I own is silver.

@patbz   I bet you were sick over the burgary especially over the loss of your mother's pieces.  I had two burglaries when I lived in Houston and lost some old inherited pieces so I know how you feel.  Isn't it fun replacing them though?

i also have A LOT.  but styles change, tastes change, and i have no one to pass it on to.  

i've been trying to downsize a bit on facebook marketplace, and craigslist.  don't get alot of action on either one with the jewelery.

lots of my good things are on the smaller side, which i don't wear much of. prefer now the bolder look. 

i'm always on the fence, as the price of gold keeps going up tho.

I haven’t worn my pearls in ages either. They were given to me to wear with my wedding dress in the 90s. I wore them several times after that, but not in years now.

I’m sorry about the burglaries & loss of your favorite sentimental pieces. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me, but I’m sure it’s very upsetting.
