How many times have you said…

“I’m done with buying jewelry”
“My collection is complete”
“I have more than I need and need to appreciate what I have”
“This is my last project/purchase bc I have all I want”

Hahahahahah
You get my point

And if you actually admit to saying any of the above comments, how soon after did you purchase a new piece? What reason compelled you to do so?

"My collection is complete" hit hard. It's funny because I recently said I was done collecting colored stones... just setting what I have. So then I bought a diamond. When you're a "collector," it never ends!

Since joining an international charitable organisation in late 2021, I now have more opportunities to attend black tie formal events and can do with some new evening wear.

The style of tops I like has V or sweet heart neckline, so naturally I need more necklaces and pendants and double clip brooches!

This...did not evolve the way I thought it would.

I had many clothes made for me in 2009/2011 that no longer fit, many of them unworn due to lack of opportunities to attend black tie events.

Thankfully, the ones made in 2015 still do, and some of them have yet to be worn.

I need more formal evening wear and blings for certain as I reckon I could have as many as 5 formal black tie event in a year if not more!

Your post reminded me of the infamous Kim K. mashed potato scooper photo op. No bling, surprisingly, but she did have an entire film crew with her to capture the homeless holiday festivities.

Step one: acquire a collection.
Step two:
That's it, that's where I'm at

You flatter me and my little spinel box. It's working and I've already told them.

Never said it, never will, but I am on Ban Island for rose cuts an and green stones. At least until some red, orange, yellow, and dark blue have come along.
