:laugh:...everytime I see a very expensive piece I can't afford, I think all my jewelry is not worth it and I should have saved up for just that one piece. But I'd probably regret purchasing that one piece anyway.

That said, I have no regrets. I buy what I can afford. If I don't like a piece of jewelry, my mom or future children will inherit it. I received a tennis bracelet from an ex. My mom is enjoying it. She wears it everyday. My aunts want it from her. lol

Great thread!

Worth it: Rolex(can't take it off!), 37 ruby and diamond necklace(I don't wear it very often but whenever I do, I get people woo-ahh over it all the time.) Bulgari bzero1 ring in RG, 18k RG with diamond bracelet. 13 diamond snowflake pendant, Tiffany key pendant in RG, Hermes silver (they are expensive but hold up really well. Very little tarnish.) Hermes leather bracelets and clic clac bracelets. White pearl necklaces. Ruby and diamond cluster vintage ring.

Not worth it: other designer costume jewellery. Especially Dior pieces. Discolouration appears after less than 5 wears! I don't buy them any more.

Not worth it, for me, would be my trollbeads bracelet. I did manage to sell most of the beads on ebay for at least half what I paid, but that was still a loss of a few hundred dollars. I'd only worn the bracelet a few times anyways, since it seemed really out of place around here, more like a vacation bracelet?

Worth it would be almost everything else. I usually just buy costume jewellery since I lose so much stuff. I've rebought my fake pearl earrings about ten times.

Not at all. I bought the Fope bracelets about 4 years ago. At the time, the retail price was ~3,000 USD each. I bought them from an Italian jewelry distributor for about 45% less.

Since then they have increased in price dramatically.

I recommend all Fope pieces, even at the current prices. They are solid gold and well-made. They have a few silver pieces that have rhodium mixed in with the silver to make it anti-tarnish (it's not a rhodium plating).

Totally with you on Fobe! I have the Flex'IT solo in RG and I adore it! Plan to add another in WG!

Most of my gold and platinum pieces are worth it.

Not worth it: Beads. Any and all beaded necklaces. Much of my silver. The gold/silver rings I have that are thin and stacking. I don't really wear tiny rings even stacked up together, so those were a waste of money. I realize now I am a sort of "single piece" person rather than a stacker. My pearls don't get much wear, either because I use lotion and sometimes perfume and that is bad for pearls.

Worth it: Most of my gold/platinum/diamond/pearl pieces and watches (Rolex, Zenith, GP, Franck Mueller).

Not worth it: AP watch, Chopard watch, silver/swarovski jewellery (gifts mainly).

Interesting thread. In terms if what pieces actually get used.
Worth it-Pandora bracelet, Tiffany eternity ring

Not worth it-Links of London sweetie bracelet, Hermes H watch, Hermes clic clack bracelet (still love all these pieces though), all the costumes jewelry that I never wear.

Worth it: Diamond stud earrings; long YG necklace with three diamond pendant; 18" YG necklaace with circle pendant with one diamond; traditional YG bracelet (could accomodate charms, but I don't wear any on it yet); YG Gucci horsebit ring; WG aquamarine ring.

Not worth it: SS pieces (all of them, including Tiffany); costume (some of it looks nice, but I don't value it the way I should so I normally turn to non-costume pieces); anything gold plated because the chemistry of my skin wears away platings like acid.

Worth it: All my diamond and gold jewelry as well as my watches
Not worth it: My sterling silver pieces from Tous and Tiffany, costume jewelry from LV, Chanel, SF, etc., and my rose gold key from Tiffany.

I told my brother that he could pick through my Tiffany jewelry that I don't wear anymore to give to his gf LOL. I am not a big fan of selling my jewelry so all my pieces just sit and slowly tarnish away in my jewelry box. . .
