These are the gorgeous jewels I’ve bought, made or remade this year in black, white and brown.

The two necklaces came from Lovisa, the crystal on the left was $9, the black and white was $7. The earrings were $7 from Lovisa and the silver pearl bracelet was $3.33 from Lovisa. The bracelet stack top right I made from a Colette howlite stack of 5 bracelets and a pearl necklace I had that I had never worn.

I got these earrings, also from Lovisa (I buy so much from there), for $10. I have a yellow pair I got early this year but when there’s a sale on, you don’t say no.

I already had my Cameo set but wanted another necklace as the chain pendant one wasn’t enough for me. I tracked down this multi row cameo on ebay for $6.99.

I was after some black bead necklaces and found some brown ones from the same eBay seller. They are actually two necklaces I simply joined together to add bulk. Two brown into one and two black into one. I prefer bulky jewels these days as small, fine pieces can get lost on me and simple pieces are way too simple. I like big, chunky, bulky.

The brown necklace is quite nice and the stones come through in the sun.

I really need to stop buying but there are so many pretty things to look at, and see, and try on, and buy….Ugh, I’m not sure I want to see how many pieces I have at the end of the year when I do my audit. Probably be hitting 2000 pieces as I was over 1700 last christmas.
