OC My jewelry
This is all my jewelry. The only piece I wear every day is my wedding band. If I’m going out anywhere, I generally add the bracelet on the right & either the necklace second from left or the one on the far right (dependent on the neckline of the dress I’m wearing).
The necklace and bracelet on the far left are the jewelry I wore on my wedding day. I love them, but for some reason it feels wrong to wear them on any day besides our anniversary, lol.
I generally only wear the engagement ring if we’re going somewhere fancy, though lately I’ve taken to wearing it more frequently because it seems to make my husband happy 😄
Laying these out made me realize I really never wear the necklace second from right. Maybe I’ll discard it if I don’t use it within the next year.
And that’s way more info than I’m sure anyone wanted!

I love the gemstones of the bracelet! Are they rainbow moonstone?

Ohh were are they from? I’d love to add a piece to my (curated 😄) jewellery collection.

Etsy. I checked my purchase history to look for the moonstone bracelet, but it appears that shop is no longer in business 😕

Pretty! Do you have any earrings?
I also have 4 necklaces, and my wedding band + engagement ring. I don’t have bracelets, but I have 3 pairs of earrings!
And I like all the info. I like to know why people keep or get rid of things. It’s interesting to me! I like all your pieces.

Oh and how do you store them?

I pushed pushpins into the wall of my closet and they just hang by those!

Oh, except for the rings. They go in the ring box we used during the ceremony.

I like that idea. Very simple, and keeps them from getting tangled. My mom recently got a massive jewelry holder that hangs on the wall. I’m glad for her, since she seems to like it. But I just couldn’t

Thanks! No earrings. My ears aren’t pierced. Parents wouldn’t let me when I was a kid, and by the time they no longer cared neither did I, lol.

Lovely collection! I just have two necklaces, one pearl and one rose quartz, and my wedding + engagement ring. (The necklace I wore for our wedding was my "something borrowed," an ancestral antique.) My wedding band is affixed to the engagement ring so I wear them as a single ring. I'd like a couple more necklaces and eventually three pairs of earrings when I re-pierce my ears.
