How often do you buy jewelry?

[LuvAllLV]

I say the same thing, then I see something new I can't live without, and i've already found 3 this week. I have to be good and only choose one or I'll be getting a divorce soon

I budget about 10K plus or minus a few K per year. I already spent all of it this year on two necklaces at retailed price. Unless, I find something that is so great or good deal, I won't buy anymore this year.

I think the secret is not to look any more.....................No chance of that! :lolots:

For me, it depends what's going on in my life. I usually celebrate a milestone with either a new jewelry or a purse.

I often celebrate every week with a new piece

So I think is turning into a very bad addiction, how often do you guys buy expensive pieces? I'm already itching for a new piece after last week's purchase...

Pretty much every time I see something I just have to have!

Very rarely, I'd rather save for years for a piece I loved than buy pieces I just "like" more often.

Very rarely. I barely wear what I have, even my wedding set, and I expect perfection which is hard for a lot of makers to provide.

Since I started my jewelry collection this year I purchase pretty often...I am currently saving for a drop dead gorgeous pair of 5.5ct diamond hoops...will take me a while to save up because they are so expensive but I know they will be worth it.

a few times a year i'll buy jewellery, or whenever I have a lemming that just needs to be squashed

These days pretty much once a year. My bank offers Christmas clubs so I have an automatic deduction set for every paycheck. Then on October 1 of each year they hand me a check and I go shopping. I do this to prevent the majority of regrettable impulse purchasing. Not that it wouldn't take two strong men to carry my wish list but with a whole year to observe what I'm wearing, what trends are sticking around, and which items keep floating to the top of my list I've had fewer bad decisions since I started limiting my purchasing this way.

This is related to the year I was in a job I hated that was situated in the center between three jewelry stores. Luckily it was during the period gold was way down.

I don't limit my purchases to a certain time, I just get in the mood and I act on it or my DH does. I've maybe had 4 or 5 so far this year.

When I see something I can't live without.

We have some great sample sales here in NYC and I've found a few incredible deals along the way elsewhere. So with temptation all around, I buy what makes my heart sing and rotate to match my mood.

 

[Thingofbeauty]

Too often and not often enough.

I buy a signature piece every year on my birthday. That is a given, other than that I say 2 times a year I will get a major piece.

I am deciding right now if I want another love or something VCA. I will purchase in October.
