Totally worth it-totally not worth it!

[alice87]

Couple years later.
Worth it:
Love my Pandora and Trollbeads bracelets. I love all the beads, and collecting, and rearranging them. Works for me.
Once I woke up in an utter nightmare, fearing I no longer have my bracelets.
It was almost a revelation as to how much I like them
I do like rings I can stack together, mostly thinner bands. I have quite a few rings, but wear thinner one's the most.
Variety of gemstone bracelets.
Movado watch, wear it all the time, love it.
Bixby jewelry seems to lift my mood greatly.
Jewelry, I design myself.
Not worth it:
tonns os stones I buy to make things, it just create clutter, but when again, it is fun. Not worth it cost wise, worth it because it is fun.
Jewelry I can't size.
Chanel earrings I never seem to wear.
Diamond studs, what was I thinking. I like having them.
Jewelry that are oudated, no longer fit me.

Haha! I just see a lot of snatch and grab crime and if I am wearing costume jewelry, I am not as tempting as a victim.

That's a very good point! So even the thieves are picky, they choose mainly fine jewelry?

They target easy prey and usually real gold (24k) with a nice pendant attached.
Also, snatch and grabs of high end bags. Especially from people distracted with looking at their phones. And, they will snatch the phones!
I am just extremely cautious in this day and age from opportunists. And there are many! Not paranoid. Enjoy your jewels and bags, just be aware of your surroundings.
Ok, enough of my unsolicited public announcement.

Worth it :
One good watch without diamonds

Not worth it :
Every other watch

Worth it - diamond Rolex and omega Constellation SS with full gold bars. Chanel ring - only costume jewelry that I think was worth it, plus it was on sale. And all of my diamonds - studs, rings, pendants. David Wysor pieces because it's cool to have the designer here as well as the ability to have custom pieces made.

Not worth it - anything sterling silver from Tiffany & Co. Movado watches. LV mono nano and Gimme a Clue bracelets.

I should probably return my sterling silver from Tiffany and co that I bought last week! Haven't worn it yet.

Interesting
My current obsession: diamonds and nothing but diamonds!
Worth it: all my diamond pieces!
Not worth it: all my bracelets from Tory Burch (earings too), LV, BV, Hermes, Henri Bendel custom jewelry!! I dont wear them anymore i am all about diamond pieces only right now.

Worth it though
My carolina bucci bracelet which the SA convinced me to get and get a matching little one for my daughter. I cant get enough of it. Its spatkley and beautiful. And cute matching momy and daughter theme

Worth it:
- my Cluse silver mesh watch, which I debated getting for ages because I liked the full black watch too. It wasn't expensive but I absolutely love it...I hope I'll love it this winter as well and won't keep thinking about the black one. I guess I could get the black as well as they're not really expensive but I have this thing about wanting to have ONE watch I love. Is that nuts?
- my Tiffany beaded heart key pendant, didn't realise how much I would love this!

Not sure yet:
- my Trollbeads bracelet...loved it when I got it but now I don't reach for it as often, and I find that the beads slide downwards which is really annoying (I don't have many beads on there).

Not worth it:
- all my other watches, luckily they weren't expensive.
- anything not made of silver or gold. Earrings in particular cause allergic reactions if they're not silver or gold.

worth it: Rolex stainless steel watch

not worth it: custom made studs with gemstones, where the setting doesn't meet my expectations, because the setting is not "delicate" enough.

I returned my Tiffany t double smile bracelet today. Didn't think it was worth it! So many people here have Tiffany silver regrets and I hadn't worn it.

Do any of you regret Apple Watch? That is my next purchase.

 

[cocodiamonds]

I love the apple watch

It's a very here and now type of purchase, once you stop wearing it & put it away, It's not a thing that you will take out in three years time and enjoy it again ... It's time (excuse the pun) will have passed & it will be outdated a yesterday piece of technology ..... So at some point I think you will look on it as you possibly would look at an old mobile (cell phone) today

 

[Phillyfan]

I agree. That is why I can justify the sport model which is least expensive. I would never get stainless or gold. Waiting for announcement in a couple days. Might be "worth it" even if I just wear for a year or two.

I love my apple watch despite the fact that I think I don't use the features enough compared to other people. I love it for notifications and activity/fitness tracking though. I feel a little lost without it!
