Our favorite way to think about whether a piece is worth it, and it has nothing to do with price.
Cost per wear. Take what you paid, divide it by how many times you actually wear it.
A 200 dollar necklace you put on four times a year for a decade costs you five bucks a wear. A 2,000 dollar piece you wear every single day for twenty years costs you well under a quarter a wear. Meanwhile the bargain thing you bought on impulse and wore twice? That was the expensive one.
We will be honest with you about one thing though. We do not love the phrase investment piece when it is used to imply a ring will make you money someday. Most jewelry is not a financial investment and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
But an investment in wearing something you love every day for thirty years? That math works out beautifully.
Buy what fits your actual life. That is where the value lives.
