Whenyouthinkabouttheamountoftimesthatyoucouldwearsomething, it's quitefrequentcomparedtosomethinglike a shirtthatyou'regonnawearmaybeonce a weekatmost, althoughtheworstthingintheworldiswhenyoubought a pieceofjewelryandyouimmediatelyregretit.
So I wanttotalktodayaboutwaysthatyoucouldreallypreventbuyer's remorsewhenitcomestojewelryandtomakesurethatyoureallylove a pieceofjewelry.
Instead, I alsowanttothankmyjuryforbeingtoday's sponsor.
I'vewarnedtheirjewelryforover a yearnow, andit's veryspecialthewaythatthey, theirattentiontodetailisandthecollectionsthattheycomeoutwitharejustveryuniqueanddifferentfromeachother.
So I havesomepiecestodaythat I willshowyoufromthepastthat I haveandthenaswellassomenewpiecesthattheygiftedme.
Thefirstthingthatwon't talkaboutisthatjewelryandneedstobemeaningfulwhen I have a pieceofjewelrythatrepresents a placethat I loveorsomebodythat I love.
Then I'm boundtokeepthatpiece.
Soonewaythatyoucoulddothisisthroughsomesortofmonogram, oryoucouldalsomakeitabout a placethatyoulove.
When I thinkaboutmyjewelrycollection, I wantedtobesomethingthat I'm justaddingtoforyears.
I don't wantittobesomethingthat I buyeverythingthisyear, andthen I neverbuyjewelryagain, and I don't wantittobesomethingwhere I buyitthisyear, and I getkindofsickofthetrends, sowhybuildingslowly?
I canmakewisepurchasesandwhyhisselectionsandalso I candoitin a mannerthatisappropriateformore.
Sothat's justsomethingelse I keepinmindis, Isthispiecegoingtobesomethingthat I couldpassdownoneday?

Rememberwhen I wasaboutfive?
Mygrandmahadthisopalring, and I loveditsomuchshepromisedittome.
Andsooneday I plantohavethatandlike, storeitandkeepitverysafeandmaybejustwearitonspecialoccasions.
Butthat's somethingthatisspecialtome.
Soheirloomisdefinitelysomethingthat I amthinkingaboutwhenever I addtomyjewelrycollection.
Andfinally, whenitcomestopickingoutjewelry, I thinkthatoneofthemostregretfulpurchasesiswhenitdoesn't fitright, sothatcouldmeanforrings, especially, canbeverytricky.
Sowhen I pickoutsizesofrings, I thinkthatthebestwaytostartwiththatistopicksomethingfornotyourmiddlefinger, butsomethingthatismiddlesizeforallofyourfingers.
Soinsteadofgetting a ringthat's justforyourpinkyorjustforyourthumbrightoffthebat, likethefirstringaccessoryringthatyouget, shereallybefor a fingerthatismiddlesize.
Sothat, forme, ismyindexfinger.
If I getsomethingsizeforthatfinger, thenwhat I candoisif I ever, like, gainorloseweight, orif I'm just a littlebitmorebloated, then I canswitchfingers.
Sothisring I haveisanotheronefrom a juryandthatone I couldweareitheronmythumbor I couldwearitonlikemyringfinger.
And I justhaveoptions.

Andanyofthesearethingsthat I couldhavestandthetestoftimebecause I feellikeringsaretheonethingthatisboundtogetresized.
Thisalsois a noteonnecklaces, becauseif I canwear a necklacethatcouldlayerveryeasily, I wouldthinkofsomethingthathas a newadjustablechainandthenalso, I wanttokindofpickoutnecklacesthathavelengththat I'm notyetwearing.
Soif I havelotsofthatinthe 24 inchrangeorinthe 16 andstrange, I'd rathergetsomethingthat's morelike a 20 inch.
