TIME:
5-10 minutes
YOU’LL NEED:
All earrings
Your REHOME, REPAIR and REFUSE bags
Your shopping list
ACTION:
Scrutinise your collection of earrings for items you no longer love and remove these.
Look for items that have tarnished and ascertain whether you might have them cleaned or re-dipped if they are meaningful to you. Set these aside.
Add to your list any items you would like to add to your collection, including any earring back replacements.
Return pieces you’re keeping to wherever you store them, for now.
STYLIST’S TIPS:
Must haves:
Classic studs - gold, white gold, diamond etc and/or pearls.
Classic hoops – metal colour, type and size is a personal thing but you can cover the bases with gold, silver/white gold and or rose gold.
A few fashion pieces – to have some fun, make a statement or look like you have your finger on the fashion pulse!
Blinging varieties - for a special occasion.
While it’s nice to have a collection of fashion jewellery, when budget permits, there is little as luxurious as putting on a piece of beautiful, genuine, precious stone jewellery. Take a browse in a jewellery store that you consider a luxury jewellery retailer and add something truly luscious to your vision board. When the time comes to reward yourself, you know where to go!
FOLLOW UP ACTION REQUIRED:
Toss those pieces that no longer give you that twinkle in your eye.
Set aside your pieces for cleaning or re-dipping.
Tend to any cleaning or have any precious items professionally cleaned.
Look out for pieces to add to your collection, as per your shopping list and purchase any replacement earring backs.
If you’ve not been into the likes of Collette, Lovisa stores or browsed the jewellery section of your department/favourite stores, then make some time to do so. There is a wonderful world of fun jewellery out there to play with.
Make the trip to a luxury jeweller to be inspired and find your style then, drop those not-so-subtle hints again to your loved-ones, as your birthday or Christmas approaches.
