| Claire's bringing back the brooch with her win! |
You are probably wondering what this has to do with jewelry, so I will tell you...
Jewelry is a placeholder for your emotions, and your stories. One visual of your beloved piece and it brings you directly back to the moment of when you first saw it. Your mind will replay stories of your favorite times wearing it, bringing you joy and happiness all over again. However, when unwanted, unworn jewelry sits in a box, that story is never replayed, and the joy is gone.
Recently on Instagram, I spontaneously decided to giveaway a few items from my jewelry box that I no longer wanted. I had planned to convert some antique pins and lockets into modern-day treasures, but in the end, I felt it was not truly my style. I did consider selling them, trading them, or even melting for scrap to return my investment, but then I decided the emotional investment of happiness when giving them to new, loving homes far outweighed the time and effort.
One post and their new homes found them.
