So let me be honest with you: I'm not much of an accessoriser. I can go for weeks without earrings, something that was once my staple accessory for years. Besides the basics I wear daily: my watch, my Nomination and Icon bracelets (all silver); I very seldom accessorize to the extent that even the one accessory I have always loved found itself neglected by me for two weeks before I realised it had only been correct twice a day for about 10 days: at 7:40 am and again 7:40 pm. Don't worry, I got this sorted out and I do love my watch.
This is not to say that I have something against accessories or that I do not have an eye for them, but rather I focus so much on purchasing statement garments that I forget that a necklace can also be the center of an outfit. I do own a few stellar pieces of jewelry, but I guess I just tend to forget to visit the jewelry corner when I go shopping.
But...yes,I have a thing for gold plated rings that eventually go bronze and rustic with wear and tare - I don't know, it just feels like pieces like that always have a story. There's something sentimental about possessions that were not necessarily pricey, but are just perhaps a little more indispensable than the rest. My favourite piece(s) of jewelry are thus these two slim rings I bought from ALDO on impulse. They were gold plated initially, but lost their twinkle the more they encountered water and hand creams. My sister keeps telling me to buy new rings...I guess she doesn't get it like I do.
These feature in almost every Instagram post where my hands are doing the modelling. This (above) was on my birthday; I had painted my nails gold for the occasion (and to almost match the rings).
