I can't be the only one that buys things and then never wears them. I have at least 4, if not more, that I've never worn. Not because I don't like them, but because I just have not. These are mine. Am I the only person that does this?
So many! I really should let them go. You are definitely not the only one who does this! Sometimes I imagine that I am rescuing them from certain destruction. But maybe I'm just a hoarder?
These 9k-12k rose gold rings, both Victorian, both just my style! I had planned to remove the foil from the back of the rose cut diamond. But I never wear them.
Art Deco diamond, onyx, and rock crystal... I planned to make earrings, since the stones are out-of-this-world sparkly. But I'm not sure I will ever have room in the budget to get them made.
Movado 18k wg diamond necklace. Thoroughly modern and cool, and totally not me. What was I thinking?
An amazing 18k (black rhodium) snake, with ombre sapphires. I thought this was so cool! I should wear it, but I never do. :-/
Ooh! Here's a good one. An example of my obsession with building a #neckmess. A very old enameled locket, with a pearl, and the original glass (photos long gone). I'm afraid to wear it but I scooped it up for the romance of owning it. It's wrapped in silk and sits in a bubblewrap envelope in my jewellery box, likely forever.
I bought a gorgeous blingy pave bracelet from Phoenix. I rarely wear it though cause it’s SO blingy lol. It’s a special occasion or black tie sort of piece and I’m a Chipotle type of gal most of the time lol.
I tend to list pieces I don’t wear often for sale though to try to free up room and funds.

This was my 40th birthday present well over a decade ago. I did wear it a number of times but haven't worn for over a decade now. I don't wear necklaces for some reason.
Diamonds, Aquamarine and sapphire necklace. IRL it is stunning.
Other necklaces I don't wear-an aquamarine (I love blue lol what can I say) choker. Impulse buy, not inexpensive and worn maybe three times.
The Aquamarine Roma ring...
My gorgeous antique diamond pendant I never wear
And many many more.
All my watches. Have not worn since beginning of 2014
I have many watches but here are 2 of them.
I used to wear my watches every day til 2014. So that is different than a purchase I bought and wore once or twice. But adding them because I haven't worn them for so long.
Do not wear any of my bracelets. One of them below. I love this one so much but don't wear that much jewelry so it goes unworn.
All these necklaces and more
So the above photos are just a few of my pieces that I do not wear. I have many more I don't wear. Basically it would be easier to share what I do wear. My OEC ER and bands and many of my earrings. That's it.
all of your pieces are beautiful and I agree that the collection and admiring is just as enjoyable as wearing. And who knows, you might start wearing them all again. We women go in phases and cycles as you know lol.
Wore my pave bracelet to work. Feeling so shiny! I usually wear my jadeite bangle which is also gorgeous but in a quieter way. Also in the US, most people aren’t super knowledgeable about jade so I feel like I’m being more subtle about how much I spend on jewelry haha!
In my case it’s mostly chunky gold jewelry which I love buying but rarely wear maybe once or twice a year for an occasion. I love yellow gold but for everyday wear delicate pieces. Not Sure if I should post pics of those gold pieces here as the thread might only be for diamonds

@missy, I ADORE that pendant!
Thanks @stracci2000
Here's another rescue, an antique English bloodstone greco-roman somebody-or-other. I have no idea who it is. Athena? Anyone know?
And a tiny pin, in 10k, with a tiny seed pearl. Bought because the swirls are actually interlocking A's (which are meaningful initials to me).
I have plans for this one. But the plans are about 2 years old now. I never wear it.
