I just hardly wear jewelry anymore. My fun thing is picking out a few pieces and just leaving a piece here and there. On the table of a restaurant when I leave, on the bubblegum machine at the grocery, just weird little places. I have fun imagining someone finding it and seems more satisfying than dumping at the thrift store.
That was a really thoughtful and practical video. I have whittled down my jewellery collection to a few select pieces with diamonds which I always reach for and could not be happier with my small and loved pieces.
Thanks so much for saying that love! So happy you have found the same thing! I truly feel so much more sure when I wake up and choose my accessories. It's just easier and more exciting now that I can see it all! xo
Great video! I only keep what I can wear and has deep meaning to me. I used to buy stuff and then never wore, no more. Thx for your smart video. All my stuff fits in one box and I can see it.
What a great idea!! I actually don't own a lot of jewelry but this declutter video was a nice idea and you presented it so thoughtfully! I love your channel so far, I'm a new viewer :) and small channel here!
New viewer here, love you content Amanda! I’ve never seen a video on jewellerie declutter, I thinks that’s very interesting and original! You are right, that’s an important area to be mindful about! 😉
Aw WELCOME! It's so funny but waking up this morning and seeing my favourite jewellery all together brought me so much joy. Thanks for joining my little nook of the internet. xo
Thankyou so much for this video! My jewellery boxes, bags, drawers are out of hand. I have so much that has been handed down from Mom, Nana, great Nana, mother in law etc etc and I wear none of it. I am going to go thru it and keep a couple of sentimental bits and declutter the rest as it is just sitting doing nothing and my daughter does not want it either.
Aw so pleased you liked it! It can be so hard but take it slow and I guarantee you'll feel lighter after! Good luck with what sounds like a really great declutter!!
I have such a hard time decluttering stuff I got from my Grandmother after she passed. I have so much! But I know she would be fine with me donating a few things so someone else can enjoy them.
I wanted something relevant to watch while going through my jewelry! I declutterred probably about 75%. One thing that helped with sentimental pieces is thinking “Do I have a different more meaningful piece from this person.” Almost every case was yes. And I kept two pieces that I will pass onto my son. They are a little more masculine, and one is from my dad, just not a style I often wear, so he will appreciate the sentiment.❤
Thank you for great ideas. I have been decluttering my house for the last couple of years. Decluttering jewelry has been the toughest task. After initial decluttering of at least half of the initial collection, I still have thousands of items. Granted, I have not worn many of them for years, but I find it hard to part with them. Has anyone else experienced the same difficulties? What would you recommend?
Are they sentimental or just pretty? If sentimental, think “Do I have another piece/non jewelry item from this person that is more meaningful?” And if pretty, compare it to all of the most similar pieces and think, “If I were shopping, which of these pink earrings would I buy if I could only get one set?” And same with the long silver necklaces, blue pieces, etc..❤
Rosa this is SUCH A GOOD QUESTION! I really wanted to think about this over night hah (taking this one very seriously). I have come to the conclusion that I would keep them in "types" (earrings with earrings versus within a set). The reason I would do this is if I have a set I know I can always reach for that other piece. But if I'm choosing my accessories for an outfit I don't want to miss out on the chance of potentially choosing an item because it is with its set. At least when you have them separated by types you always see the potential. :) Hope that makes sense! xo Thanks for watching!
I don’t have much jewelry... I have sensitive skin so I am picky about what jewelry to buy. I have been wanting to grow my collection a bit but atm I really don’t need them. I have a few earrings and some rings and like 2 necklaces but I am looking for a good necklace to wear daily.
That is so wonderful Amanda! The fact that you love those pieces and get so much use out of them is the best. I would also like to focus on purchasing quality for the future and know it will be a slow process. There is magic in that slow growth I think. :) Thanks for watching!
I want to declutter my jewelry to the point where I have a small jewelry box with items I actually use. I want to get rid of the items that hold sentimental value but I just never use. Its hard to get rid of some earrings my dad gave me when I was a little girl. How do I do this? I like them but I never ever use them.
After reading this over and thinking about it all morning hah I think I have come to a conclusion on the plan! I think you should get a smaller jewellery box for your everyday bits and be harsh about those but then put those special pieces in their own little box packed away just for your heart. I would feel awful saying to get rid of something that you hold close to your heart but don't use. Sometimes the sentiment is worth keeping the items but maybe just separate them out from your everyday pieces that you want to wear and see without getting overwhelmed with it all. :) xo
@@AmandaWeldon This is actually a pretty good idea. I have thought about this idea before but having someone tell me about it gives me another reason to actually do it. I might keep my sentimental pieces in a special box and a smaller jewelry box for my everyday items. Thanks!!
I just bagged up and lotted up a bunch of my jewelry and stuff and listed it on eBay and what ever doesn’t sell within 30 days I will donate to a local thrift store
The most commonly used variations of this noun, meaning precious items of personal decoration, are jewellery and jewelry. The correct spelling in Australia and Britain is 'jewellery'. In American English, the correct spelling is 'jewelry'.
Usually if it's sterling silver it will have a 925 stamped into it somewhere on a clasp or the inside of the ring. gold will have 9k, 14k, 18k, 22k etc stamped into it usually! you can also take it to a jeweler to get tested if it's an heirloom piece you're unsure of :)
@Maria Rodriguez I have A LOT of inheritance of jewelry. I took it to a good and honest pawn shop and they told me what was valuable and what wasn’t. There were some that I didn’t think were worth anything and they told me that those items were very valuable! Also get second or third opinions on your jewelry. Some I will give away, some I will sell and the rest I will separate from not valuable and valuable. Then I will get a GOOD SAFE and store the good items in my home vs the safety deposit box I pay for. I hope this helps you. PS I have watched a few videos that say to leave out in plain sight so if a burglar comes in they will take that instead of your good jewelry that is hidden very well in a GOOD SAFE.
I bought new jewelry and for now i wear it. So i see how long i will wear it untill i declutter it. My daughter gets her earrings today. So we will wait untill she is old enough to get my jewelrybox to wear my earrings. I am saving for some 18k gold earrings. They cost a lot but my husband says ok for ones i will invest in some nice expensive earrings. I know you will wear them. But promise me not buy any other jewelry anytime soon.
Been wanting to declutter my jewelry so bad bc I lost all my motivation to wear any after my old jewelry box broke and I hung onto it out of sentimental guilt (it was a gift from my dad, my first “grown up” jewelry box) 🥹 I have ugly, tarnished, cheap costume jewelry like some that I’ve worn exactly ONCE for HOCO and Prom, so it’s time to let it go! I have a new jewelry box saved to my wishlist that mirrors and honors the one that broke. And in the meantime I’m going to pick up an inexpensive clear folding earring case. It’s gonna be WAY easier for me to find pairs of earrings which I have TONS of

I. Love. This!!! Thanks for sharing 🤍
That's so nice 😊
That is so nice of you and good idea too.
I'll follow this tip from now on❤
what a great idea! I love it!
Share it! I gave my niece some opal earrings that had languished for years in my jewelry case. She loves them...and I see her wearing them!
Aw yes this is a GREAT one!!
That was a really thoughtful and practical video. I have whittled down my jewellery collection to a few select pieces with diamonds which I always reach for and could not be happier with my small and loved pieces.

I recycle my broken jewlery, and the pieces I don't want by incorporating them into my junk journals❤ Thank you for this video.

love this, just gave quite a few items
I no longer wear, to a friend and her daughters,

Completely unrelated - where did you get those glitter hoops from? I absolutely love them
Aw thank you darling!! I got them from a vintage shop called "Girl on the Wing" in Hamilton, Ontartio 🥰
I loved this video!
As thank you so much for watching!
For jewlery organization purposes, do you keep sets together or do you separate sets and put "types together (earrings, bracelets, etc)
Rosa this is SUCH A GOOD QUESTION! I really wanted to think about this over night hah (taking this one very seriously). I have come to the conclusion that I would keep them in "types" (earrings with earrings versus within a set).

Do you put family heirlooms in a special place even if you don’t wear them. Yes pleas show us your collection.
I gave most of my necklace to my granddaughter to play dress up With.
Can you please share the video that you mentioned, from your friend Christina. Thanks.

Does anyone else have a hard time identifying if the jewelry is real gold or silver? any tips?
So hard! I hope someone in the comments has some good tips for this!
Usually if it's sterling silver it will have a 925 stamped into it somewhere on a clasp or the inside of the ring. gold will have 9k, 14k, 18k, 22k etc stamped into it usually! you can also take it to a jeweler to get tested if it's an heirloom piece you're unsure of :)

I have about 30 times more jewelry than this, literally. It's a sickness truly
