Why You Should Invest In Your Jewelry.

I think we have all been there: the shiny beautiful (and most importantly cheap) jewelry in high street shops caught our attention and we just had to have it! Maybe this time they will last a bit longer than a few days... but anyway, who cares? It's just a few euros so whatever... Right? Wrong. 

Okay of course there is no right answer and just because I think that mentality is wrong, you do you! (So please don't come for me...). But I really do believe investing in your jewelry is the smarter move. 

And why is that?

Well firstly, they do last much much longer, if not forever. I wear my gold jewelry every single day. Whether I am sleeping, showering, jumping into the pool or applying sunscreen. It's has been through all of it. I remember wearing my H&M costume jewelry for just a few days, while carefully removing everything before washing my hands or getting any kind of water on it... and yet my finger turned green and the pieces black much quicker than I would have liked. 

So if you invest in just a few pieces you absolutely ADORE they will make you happy forever. So in the end cost-per-wear will be so much lower than your fake pieces. Basically, a no-brainer when you want to make the financially smart decision! 

Also, obviously, wearing your pieces forever and not throwing away literal plastic every few weeks is also environmentally the more responsible decision. Quality over quantity! 

Lastly, I like to think of my purchases as investments anytime I can. And jewelry is such an easy way to do that! In the end, your 18K gold pieces will most probably hold their value (or go up) unlike the costume jewelry in your average high street store. Of course, designer costume jewelry is a different story. But honestly, for that money, I would always go for real gold. 

One of my favourite shops for high-quality gold jewellery with the cutest designs is HEY AMORE. A Munich based online shop, that gets all their handpicked 18K gold pieces directly from Italy. I have the necklaces VENEZIA and MILANO for a beautiful layered look. I like to pair them with my cute elephant pendants KENYA and INDIA or the beautiful ladybug COCCINELLA. The ring SI really rounds up the whole look for me. Here are just a few more pieces that I am absolutely lusting over!
