Put a ring on it: when is jewelry worth investing in?
27 May 2009
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no stranger to the jewelry department at Zara and H&M. There’s nothing more than a couple of faux gold chains, a la Madonna’s “Music” video, an oversized cocktail ring and ridiculous hoop earrings to turn a Saturday night into something sassy. And with prices almost always under the cost of a coffee for a piece of gold plated heaven, I don’t cry when I come home at 3 A.M. and discover a rhinestone or two missing. But, when you chalk up five years of booty shaking and five years of the ubiquitous flying hoop that has a shoddy back, the figures stack up, and makes me wonder if my discount designer ways are screeching to an eventual halt. If the thought of trading up for something substantial – and pricey – has your head spinning like a disco ball, here are a few things to consider. Do you love, love, love it?
