Since this thread has been brought up, I totally relate lately. Right now I'm fixated on John Hardy and I know I won't rest until I get the Naga cord bracelet in purple! And then I found a few MK bracelets that I want!

It's so bad! I need to save for when I get an apt. with my boyfriend. I need to be focusing on school and weight loss and instead I'm obsessing over jewelry. I'd say I need counseling but they'll convince me I don't need all this jewelry and I don't want that to happen LOL

You can buy Christie's, et al. catalogs on eBay. They're not the current auctions, but you can get recent dates. They are cheap, and lots of fun to peruse--I have a bunch that I bought on eBay cheaply. Also good for a cheap thrill--but, then, they give me ideas of jewelry that I want to aspire to. Maybe it's NOT such a good idea, LOL!

Mmmm... it's happening to me again too!
I got my Tiffany Emblem Lock mini in RG some months ago & thought "this will be my signature piece & once I get this I won't want anything else"!
What a lie!!!!
Since then I have bought 2 initial pendants (RG Thomas Sabo & SS Etsy find) AND I've got a RG ring on order from my jewellers!
HELP ME! I have a problem & I can't stop!!!!!! xMMx

Yep as much as I get annoyed at myself for wanting & buying jewellery, it could be worse! I don't drink regularly (breast feeding!), I don't smoke & I don't do drugs so I'd rather be addicted to jewellery than any of those things!
I too wouldn't want to be "cured" of my jewellery addiction because I just love it!!!!!!!!! xMMx

I think I have a problem...as in a jewellery addiction problem!
I see something I love & I think "this is it! This is what I REALLY want, nothing else & I'll wear this forever" - I feel like my life will be compete if I get it & I'll never want another piece of jewellery!
BUT as soon as I get the piece I want, I see something ELSE I want & I'm not completely happy with what I've got!
It's not normal, I'm sure it's some sort of problem! Anyone else like this? Please don't let me be the only one!

Lol! It's so nice to hear from so many other ladies that this isn't an uncommon feeling. I have that feeling right now-but I know there will be something else shortly after:)

If left unchecked, I'd have a full-blown jewelry addiction. I love so much of what I see, but I temper it with an eye toward choosing things I think will have a lasting appeal to me. I've seen over the years all the pieces I've bought and set aside after a few months of wear, never to be worn again. I try to shy away from common, mass-produced jewelry (think Tiffany), and while I still buy some mass produced jewelry (Marco Bicego, Judith Ripka, Roberto Coin), it's not the stuff you see people wearing or in pictures. I'm a sucker for jewelry with character.

I reckon you'd like Etsy then because everything is handmade so it's guaranteed to be more unique than the mass produced pieces! xMMx

This isn't just about jewelry, but it answer's how I got this way. I love everything jewelry, shoes, purses, clothes...once I set my mind on something watch out. My mom says when I was three I would walk around on my tippy toes saying I had my "hgh eels" on and if she tried to take me out of the house without my "urse" I would throw huge temper tantrums. There was nothing I loved more than my grandma's jewelry drawer and closet, this is a generation skipping disease in my family. When I was in high school I worked part time at a jewelry store, talk about feeding an addiction! I really do think some woman are just born more interested in these things. I loved my dolls, but only little one's that could fit in my "urse", I think they were called Little Kiddles, I'm dating myself. I have 2 son's, would of loved a daughter to shop with but I've gotten over it and now I just look at it as more for me...and my granddaughter's (plzzzzz, see I do want to share and she's doomed for the gene!). So girls, unfortunately I believe "we were born this way!".
