I thought my list was pretty stout...I look at it fondly and try to hold it together.
I'm quite attached.
Paperclip chain, Mr. T style.
very hot tea
I am a maximalist and I won’t be bullied into making these kind of decisions !
Now your talking !
We need a thread of the 5 pieces we would leave behind (as painfully as that would be)
Well, I'd want to be able to have one coordinated jewelry 'outfit'. I mean, unless I'm going to let the holes in my ears grow over (I'm not - under ANY circumstances) - that means I *have* to make one of these items a pair of earrings. I also can't live without a bangle. So it all coordinated, I'd choose just one metal - in my case - yellow gold.
So. It starts to sort itself out....
1. My wedding set
2. My gold hoops with diamond stud for my outer hole
3. My solid gold bangle
4. My wedding pendant necklace
5. My white SS studs so I can have both hoops and studs to mix it up.
But - just for giggles - let's assume I can take 1, 2 or 3 more pieces. They would be - in order....
1. Joy - my enamel bracelet
2. My Dixon pendant
3. My turquoise drops, which I wear with Joy.
And I would hunt down the person who made this rule, and arm wrestle then until they let me bring those last 3 pieces. While the first 5 are my 'must haves', the last 3 are almost as essential. I need color.
I knew your's would be trully beautiful
Done
The 5 pieces you would leave behind
Someone in the Top 5 Jewelry Staples thread said we needed a thread on the five pieces we would leave behind. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/top-5-jewelry-staples.273705/page-2#post-5134488 So post away, and tell us why you’re still attached.

Love this thread!!! Mine are mostly sentimental... I suppose the stud earrings are the most "functional" of all of them. I feel naked without anything sparkly in my lobes!
1. Sparkly stud earrings — 1-2 tcw OECs or MRBs whatever floats your boat, white gold, diamonds preferred, of course, but moissanite is just fine too (Google photo)
2. Not-technically-my-ER-or-wedding-set (yet, not married... yet?! fingers crossed) but a ring from my long-term boyfriend... *pink centre sapphire currently being replaced, sigh
3. Mom & daughter ring from my mom — baby OEC/OMC diamonds in 18k RG, "Maman" & "Fille" engraved inside
4. Red spinel fleur de lys pendant on a plain YG gold chain from my dad
5. Tennis bracelet — I guess diamonds (or moissanite if you're young and broke like me haha) are classic, so I'd go with those... but I would love a ruby and pink sapphire/spinel tennis bracelet too... *photo is just CZ from one of my old threads
