Great point! And as our needs and tastes change, we shouldn’t see our previous purchases that we loved in the past but that no longer work for us as a waste or a mistake.
UO: it’s OK to change your wedding set. The jewelry is a symbol of your relationship whether you had it on your wedding day or not. (OK, maybe this isn’t an unpopular opinion on a jewelry forum, but it is unpopular with my husband
)
The only plus about getting old is that my fingers went from a size 5 to a 6.5. I told my husband, do you want me to go ringless???Great point!

I also find I'm drawn to pieces with more presence now, versus more dainty jewelry, although I still have and wear both. It sounds like your grandmother had a wonderful style with signature pieces. I love that. I tend to feel overwhelmed when I have too much. I'd really rather have fewer, more interesting/unique pieces that have personal meaning to me, than to have many pieces. I do love variety, though, but I'm content with a smallish collection of pieces to rotate through.
I noticed lots of people wearing costume jewelry. Maybe because they dont wear them often because mix and match, it could last for years. Ive always seen chanel costume jewelry being sold, some even looked antique.
I went through a phase when I was only collecting fine jewellery and got rid of all my costume/silver pieces. Now I have a mini collection of costume/silver pieces (i.e., rings and necklaces) alongside my fine jewellery. They are suitable for occasions when you don't want to be flashy or if you're travelling and are not too worried about theft.
Seeing as my only earrings and bracelets are pretty much the ones I have on 24/7, I'm having fun with rotating different necklaces and rings. I still can't fathom the idea of wearing more than one necklace at a time, but will be happy to try different ring combos.

My apologies to all who have any Bvlgari iconic Serpenti jewelry collection but
I Just. Cant. buy any of the Serpenti collection.
They do make beautiful jewelry though.
I have a specific phobia (‘ophidiophobia’) of snakes, I can’t even bear to look at photos of snakes much less enter a reptile room in a zoo 😱

I am so tired of seeing the same jewelry on this site over and over and over again. When I joined many years ago, I had a naive expectation that posts would show all kinds of beautiful, unusual jewelry. Nope. 99% is the same old, same old. IMO it is a massive waste of money to buy such common things.
As an owner of some of the repetitive jewelry, I have to agree with you. Some of us, seem to buy the same jewelry — or same high end designer brands (some/most people posting on jewelry and H being a select group of people that like designer jewelry (and H bags)
I have made lots of jewelry mistakes (too many) but I don’t regret my Cartier bangles, or my H jewelry. ❤️
Come look at the thread 'what else do you wear' under the vca section; some more non typical jewelry there.
I am one of those that has vca pieces, though I try to choose less "popular " ones, but I also have lots of pieces from small local stores as well as a number of Graff pieces.
I think a lot of people also don't show their unusual jewelry because they don't want to be identified and / or robbed. It can happen even if you scrub your metadata from photos.
Also, I generally agree with your opinion on the same old, same old, but I think part of the reason why people gravitate to that sort of jewelry is that they think these are classics and therefore easy to match anything that they're wearing.
Personally, I disagree again (like how a chanel flap doesn't automatically elevate an outfit, no matter how many fashion blogs try to claim so), but wtv, it's the opinion of the buyers that count.
I cannot bring myself to buy anything with lab diamonds.
I agree. The price increases turned me off. I no longer want the serpenti.
Unpopular opinion JUC is much prettier than love bracelet
And Lab grown diamonds are a total scam
And those bottega gold “finished” teardrop earrings are also a scam 😩
