How Much Jewelry Should You Own

How much jewelry should you own, and when should you start thinking about reselling jewelry? Well, we believe that while you can never have too much jewelry, having a thoughtful and curated collection brings a sense of joy and versatility to your wardrobe. For today’s post, let’s explore the value of jewelry over time and how to make the most of your collection. We’ll even show you how you can trade in jewelry with MG!

The Value of Jewelry Over Time

Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it's really an asset. Quality pieces crafted with precious metals and gemstones can retain or even increase in value over time. Unlike fast fashion, which quickly loses its appeal and value, well-made jewelry can be passed down through generations, becoming cherished heirlooms.

Owning a collection of timeless pieces ensures you always have the perfect accessory for any occasion. Think of jewelry as a wearable investment that not only enhances your style but also holds intrinsic value. Whether it’s a pair of classic earrings, a statement necklace, or a delicate bracelet, these pieces become part of your story, each with its own significance and memories attached.

Reselling Jewelry from Mignonne Gavigan

While we firmly believe you can never have too much jewelry, we understand the desire to refresh your collection or part ways with pieces that no longer inspire you. That’s why we offer our jewelry resale program—a way to breathe new life into your jewelry box while staying true to sustainable fashion practices.

Here's how it works:

• Send In Your Pieces | If you have Mignonne Gavigan pieces that are in good condition but no longer fit your style, you can send them back to us. These pieces will be evaluated and, if suitable, listed for resale on our store.
• Receive Store Credit | In exchange for your preloved jewelry, you'll receive store credit that you can use towards purchasing new pieces that resonate with your current style.
• Refresh Your Collection | Use your store credit to explore our latest collections and find pieces that inspire you. 

This way, you can continually evolve your style without the guilt of feeling like you have too much jewelry, or that you’re wasting it by throwing it away. It’s a great way to trade in jewelry and update your collection!

Our resale program not only helps you keep your jewelry collection fresh but also supports a more sustainable fashion ecosystem. By giving your old pieces a new home, you contribute to a cycle of reuse and renewal, making a positive impact on the environment.

Building Your Ideal Collection

When it comes to building your jewelry collection, consider these tips to strike the perfect balance:

1. Start with the Essentials Every jewelry collection should include a few key staples that can be worn daily and paired with a variety of outfits. These might include a pair of elegant stud earrings, a versatile chain necklace, a classic bracelet, and a statement ring. These pieces form the foundation of your collection, offering versatility and timeless appeal.
2. Add Statement Pieces Once you have your basics, start incorporating statement pieces that reflect your personality and unique style. Bold earrings, intricate necklaces, and eye-catching rings can elevate your look and make a lasting impression.
3. Seasonal and Trendy Pieces Don’t shy away from adding a few trendy or seasonal pieces to your collection. These items keep your style current and allow you to experiment with new looks. Just be mindful not to overindulge—focus on quality over quantity to make sure your collection remains cohesive and sophisticated.
4. Think About Sentimental Value Jewelry often holds sentimental value, marking significant moments and memories in our lives. Pieces gifted by loved ones, inherited heirlooms, or items bought to celebrate special occasions add depth and meaning to your collection.
5. Utilize Our Resale Program When your style evolves, and you find yourself drawn to new pieces, remember our resale program. It’s an excellent way to ensure your collection remains dynamic and reflective of your current tastes.
