Do you know that before I started Folklor, the most expensive piece of jewelry I had bought in my lifetime... was maybe $200? They were a pair of simple gold hoop earrings and I wear them ALL the time. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you know how much money I have spent on jewelry (prior to starting Folklor) in my lifetime... $1000's and $1000's of dollars worth. I would buy lots of inexpensive pieces with little to no value (but it adds up); in the moment they were mindless purchases... ones that were cheap enough that I didn't feel guilty, but also ones that were cheap that they weren't cherished. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ With time they faded (literally) and so did my appeal for them and eventually they ended up in the trash, or in the hands of my daughter. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I wish I had ignored those impulses and invested in pieces that had value and held it; both from a sentimental and monetary perspective.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tell me about the most expensive piece of jewelry you have bought? #curatedbyfolklor #folklor #qualityoverquantity #lessismore #sustainableliving #sustainablefashion
