Just curious... do you buy jewelry for yourself?

^Great article! And that last line perfectly describes why I buy my own jewelry.
It's so nice to see women taking more active roles in every aspect of life.

I buy my own jewelry. DH is generous and always wants to contribute to the pieces I select, which I love! But he doesn't like to select things on his own. It works for us.

Why not? I buy all my jewelry myself. It is much easier to spend my own money and make my own decision.

Yes mostly me. Hubby has bad taste!

I just bought my own Mothers Day gifts bc I was too busy before MD to tell DH what I wanted. It's a shared credit card, so it really doesn't matter. But I do use my personal bank account for splurge pieces I want to treat myself to and that aren't for an "occasion" that he would purchase a gift for me.

I've bought my own jewellery since I was a teenager saving up my pocket money, and that was many decades ago now. By the time I met DH a few years later I had bags and boxes of the stuff, mostly costume jewellery but I love all sorts. Jewellery has never been a dynamic between us, I buy wear and sell exactly what I want and he doesn't care, which is great. He gives me books.

My kids on the other hand are fearless and buy me all sorts of cheap stuff from their travels, I treasure it and wear it all the time too.

My father bought me most of my classic and beautiful pieces...now, I buy my own...Im just too picky to let my husband surprise me....

When I was a teen, I thought it was OK to buy costume jewelry but fine jewelry had to be a gift. Now? It's lovely to get fine jewelry as a gift but buying it for yourself is fun!

My parents buy me jewelry like diamonds. But costume jewelry I buy for myself.

I like to take an active part in the research/selection so I buy myself. I'd rather some give me a gift card and then I select what I like. But if I had a hubby- I wouldn't mind getting a nice blue or red box once in a while

I wouldn't mind buying myself jewelry but so far I have not my fiancé loves jewelry so he buys it for me.

I did buy 75% of my jewelry with my hard earned money...There is nothing wrong with that that you buy your self a nice piece of jewelry

 

[Hurrem1001]

I have done many times!

 

[umlm]

I just bought very few jewelry and wear them forever
