The other day I posted a few rings that I would rotate if I got rid of my engagement ring. I since realized that I should have added quite a few more.
Have you gotten to the point that you forget about all of your lovely pieces?
I’m at the point in my life where I am aspiring to be a minimalist! I was shocked when I started pulling out rings to stack on one hand. That was a fun thread but also eye opening for me, since I don‘t have my rings and other jewelry all in one place. I had no idea of how much I’d collected over the years. I always told my husband to give me jewelry ( usually I picked it out) for every gifting occasion. He’s always understood that giving me kitchen appliances or a vacuum cleaner were/are absolute no no‘s!
Way way WAY too much for one person. I mean, my watch collection peaked at 70 watches ha ha. I’m sentimental, I still have the horseshoe ring I saved and saved for at age 9. I still have the costume jewellery brooch I was given age 12. I have and do move on pieces I don’t wear so much but “special pieces” (nothing to do with their monetary value) are forever keepers even if I don’t or can’t (too small now) wear them.
I started buying jewelry for my wife when we met in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil in 1971. I continued until she was in her seventies. I have no idea of the count. I enjoyed every purchase and would gladly do it again.
