My husband is always reminding me that for something to be a collection, you have to build it over time and be intentional about each item. I do agree that a truly impressive jewelry collection takes years to build, but I disagree with the idea that you have to put a lot of thought into each piece.
To be honest, I rarely want something long enough for it to make it on my wish list. Some of my most cherished jewelry pieces came from wandering a high street after a brunch, or from stumbling into a shop while waiting for a dinner reservation. However, there are always things that I consider when purchasing jewelry, and this thought process is the same behind all of my purchases.
