Building Up A Jewellery Box: How To Find Pieces That Feel Like You

Building Up A Jewellery Box – It’s important to have jewellery at hand that makes you feel good and suits your unique style. You don’t want a jewellery box filled with generic pieces you only wear here and there; that’s a sign you’re not connecting with your accessories at all! 

But how do you go about finding pieces that feel like you? It’s all about figuring out how you like to express yourself, and not being afraid of what other people might think. And to do that, we recommend trying out jewellery box tips like these.

Let Go of the Tacky Idea

We often search through jewellery store windows and point out things that seem a bit too gold, a bit too ‘blitzy’, and overall, just a bit too ‘tacky’. And for some people, this is a simple word that doesn’t affect the way they style themselves.

But if you’re always a bit mindful of putting on things and coming across in a tacky way, try to let go of the idea. It’s not helpful, and it’s stopping you from accessorising in the way you love.

If it feels like you, you should wear it. It doesn’t matter if your mum or a friend has described the piece as a bit loud and garish in the past. When it’s just as brash and bold as the rest of your style (and your personality), it deserves to be worn. 

After all, it’s the perfect bit of jewellery for letting you express your true self.

Always Fancied a Piercing? Maybe it’s Time to Consider One!

Piercings are a little less traditional than most of the jewellery we have in our boxes. But within all the rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, there’s a space for a few bits of body jewellery as well. 

So, if you’re someone who’s always thought angel fang piercings looked fun, or you’d love to finally get a nose stud, why not look for a piercing studio you like the sound of? Nothing lets out your creative, earnest, and free spirit like a touch of body modification! 

Be sure to double check the piercer’s previous work, as well as the reviews for the studio itself, and don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to either. 

Experiment with Costume Jewellery

Think you’d like diamond earrings? Looking into getting a ruby ring? Don’t jump the gun and buy these pieces outright immediately. Test out how they’d look on, and how often you’d probably get to wear them, by experimenting with costume varieties first. 

Costume jewellery is a godsend when you’re trying to build up a jewellery box. They usually look just as good as the real thing but they’re only a fraction of the cost! 

If you want to build up a jewellery box that really lets you express yourself, the tips above are the place to start. Be you, wear what you want, and don’t be afraid to get a more permanent jewellery addition if you want one!
