Totally worth it

Theo Fennell silver jewellery

I already a couple of 'modest' pieces of TF fine jewellery, while 'browsing' LOL, I looked closer and tried on some silver pieces and bought 3 without even doing my usual due care and consideration routine.

Made with the same care and attention as his fine jewellery, amazing stuff, I am such a fan
 
I have been having a clear out of my jewellery pieces.

The things I'm keeping I feel are worth it everything else is going.

I'm keeping my gold pendants, silver necklace I purchased from Folksy, silver bangle, silver bracelet and silver bracelet with blue lace agate. Tissot watch which I got for my 25th.

Costume jewellery and semi precious stone jewellery is out.

I have too much jewellery so I am not buying anymore. Although I would replace my silver bangle/bracelets with a plain white gold bangle.

It's been two years since I replied to this thread.

Worth it - White gold pendants, silver cameo pendant, Tissot watch

Not worth it - all the costume pieces I have purchased or the silver jewellery I have bought on impulse.

On the fence - all my hand made pieces as I now have hundreds of them. I could have bought the white gold bracelet by now.

Like another tpf member mentioned, she feels her style has evolved as she gets older. That's the way I feel now. I am more into classic pieces than "fashion type" jewellery set in silver or plated metals.
 
Worth it: wedding set, pandora bracelet from my hubby, my monogram silver necklace (adore it!) fun costume jewelry -makes any outfit dressy/cute

Not worth it: not many regrets since I'm not a huge jewelry person but I do regret spending a lot of money on earrings/rings from kays it's wayyyyy overpriced for low quality jewelry
 
fun thread!

worth it: my diamond wedding set, mikimotos, tahitian pearl set, tiffany atlast ring in WG with diamonds, almost all the gold jewelry w/ or w/o diamonds, watches (rolex, cartier, michele)

not worth it: a few trendy gold pieces, costume jewelry, swarovski, expansive clothes (especially, my ungaro dress over $2000 which i wore just once), purses (especially Chanel and LV ones-- I just do not use them) and shoes (my shoes from chanel, jimmy choo, gucci, tod's, etc. are sleeping in the closet. These days I just wear cheap sneakers).

on the fence: gucci watches, as i grow older, i just do not wear gucci watches any longer. but i've worn those watches for more than 10 years, so maybe worth it:graucho:


In this thread, many seem to be against Tiffany silver jewelry. Am very glad I read this thread since I almost bought a pair of earrings in silver from Tiffany; this thread made me rethink about those earrings:smile1:. I will save the money for the B zero 1 ring.

Worth it - my Tiffany engagement ring and wedding band, Tiffany silver jewellery, bvlgari diamond necklace, other non brand gold jewellery, chanel earrings, Hermes clic clac

Not worth it - my pandora collection (I just find it uncomfortable to wear), other costume jewellery.
 
Worth it: my VCA Alhambra necklace, hermes enamels, anything gold from Tiffany's (not silver), cartier tank, my diamond studs and my diamond DY earrings, my Alexis bittar hoops and other earrings

Not worth it: any Tiffany's silver earrings or neclaces, inexpensive and trendy fashion jewelry (Marc Jacobs, juicy, etc), my chan luu bracelets (never wear them)
 
As I grow older my tastes and income level will change things, but right now-

Worth it:
My rose gold diamond solitaire necklace I bought for my 25th birthday
Engagement ring stack
Tiny diamonds I reset from my grandmother's e-ring into another ring
Tiffany silver bead bracelet
Diamond earring for my second piercing
Blue Akoya pearl earrings
My baby-g watch


Not worth it:
Swatch watches
A few ceramic watches bought from no-name brands
Any jewelry I have purchased from a shopping channel
Costume jewelry from pretty much anywhere Anthropologie, Urban, Juicy, etc.
Cheaply made sterling silver rings (maybe any sterling silver rings).


Time will tell:
My two-tone Pandora bracelet. It feels pretty good right now.
 
Worth it: Hermès 18 k gold mini chaîne d'ancre necklace and bracelet which has earned me many compliments, my small collection of Hermès leather and enamel bracelets some of which I wear with joy every day, wedding ring, cartier mini trinity bracelet (hope to be able to acquire more cartier in time), small but good quality diamond ear studs. Although not a piece of jewellery, I also love my one Chanel bag, a black lambskin WOC which I use on vacation trips and when going out to nice restaurants in my own town.

Not worth it: several of my non branded 18 k gold pieces (such as nondescript bracelets and chain necklaces) that I don't really use but can't sell b/c they are gifts, some of my Mulberry bags that I don't use despite their being great quality, my silver items (I don't look good in silver), all my costume and high street "jewellery" that have lost their lustre and are not worth their price despite being cheap...
