导读:The colors, shapes, sizes, with or without stones - I love them all!

I have always loved jewelry. The colors, shapes, sizes, with or without stones - I loved them all. Every month or so, you would see me walking into a different store (or the same!), buying something new that caught my eye. Every piece was bought with genuine appreciation, with a very vivid image of what I would pair it and wear it with.

And every time my mother would only shake her head at me. "You are throwing money down the drain", she would say. I would always shake it off, blaming it on the 'old school' mentality she surely had. And I would just carry on buying my little trinkets of joy.

Fast forward a decade later, I grew up. The pieces kept on getting nicer, pricier, and you could just find them everywhere. Priorities shifted, and I got into the habit of thinking twice before buying my little loves. Then my mother took me to the family jeweler, and my outlook completely changed.

All colors, shapes, sizes, with and without stones - but this time in gold. Of course, it came with a much heavier price tag. And you know how they say we all end up like our mothers? Well, they are right. I started seeing the value, the worthiness of spending my money on fine jewelry. 

The frequency of purchases became significantly less, which makes sense when a gold item is at least three times the price of an accessory, if not more. But just as I collected my trinkets, I am collecting my gold. Technological advancements in production allow for new designs in a very short period of time. It allows for customization and personalization - making a piece truly your own has never been easier. I still buy my beloved trinkets, but mostly, I am investing my money. As my collection of gold grows, so does my nest egg. All colors, shapes, sizes, with and without stones - my jewelry is now my nest egg.
