I realize these are not the greatest photos in terms of vividness and clarity, but I had to show everyone after having a quiet chuckle to myself over them. I have here concrete evidence of my jewelry addiction–with the first photo dating at 2009, I had just started working at the jewelry store that I work at now. Middle picture is 2011…you can see how much my collection has grown in just two years. And like everyone says, it IS hard to work at a jewelry store and not spend most of your paycheck there. Last picture is 2012 with almost all holes filled up. Crazy. And I don’t plan on stopping. Whether its more bands to stack, more serpent rings, more Victorian monogram rings, more Art Deco diamond rings, more unique designs by amazing designers…it will never be enough. And that’s why I love it!

Hi,
I stumbled upon your blog since I was hoping there would be some jewelry lovers with blogs….love clothes, too, but there are tons of clothing blogs and few jewelry blogs. Yours is the best I have seen. I also love that you are a gem girl as well!
I, too, worked in retail selling jewelry (as well as beauty/clothes) for a mall store for 11 years. So, I already had been shopping this company for 4 years before I started working there and really, really shopped at discount for the next 11 years as an employee. Thus, I have tons of jewelry. I will have to get a friend with a nice camera to take some shots so I can share – especially in your Show Your Rings section. I love all jewelry but have more rings and earrings than anything else…..collect gems as well as stainless steel/silver/brass/gold and gold-clad jewelry. I have also collected a lot of watches over the years since now they are more like bracelets from the different interpretations/colors – chain, leather, gemstone, ceramic, etc. I have an armoire full, a watch case full, and am working on a smaller jewelry chest and a new armoire – gotta have room since I am still collecting.
Glad to find other jewelry lovers….
