Add Previously Owned Jewellery to Your Collection

As you build your collection of jewellery box essentials, it can be challenging to find the balance between choosing timeless pieces and experimenting with trends. Previously owned jewellery can offer a rare opportunity to get the pieces you love on a budget.

Advantages of Pre-Owned Jewellery

If you’re building a jewellery collection, you know that it’s easy to get caught up in trends. That’s why curating a collection of timeless pieces that go with everything and will never go out of style is so important. At the same time, it’s always fun to experiment and try something new. Previously owned jewellery can make curating your collection even more affordable and you can find high quality pieces at a fraction of the price. Here are a few ways to incorporate previously owned jewellery into your collection.

Collect the Classics

Every jewellery box needs a few timeless classics: a gold chain or two, hoop earrings and a pair of diamond studs, an everyday watch, a pearl necklace and a simple tennis bracelet or gold bangle. As pieces that you’ll have for years to come and wear frequently, the main priorities should be versatility and quality. Always be on the lookout for good previously owned pieces. To ensure you don’t miss your chance, keep a running wish list in your head so you can be decisive when you do spot a classic piece with potential. Just like thrifting for clothing, shopping previously owned jewellery requires a little more patience, but it can pay off in unique finds that you’ll be getting compliments on for years to come.

Diversify with Gemstones

Did you know there are roughly 200 varieties of gemstones? From precious stones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires to semi-precious options like garnets, peridot, pearls, opal and many more, there are so many gemstones to choose from that your collection will probably never be complete. Not to mention the same gemstone can look wildly different depending on the quality of the stone and the style of jewellery. Previously owned jewellery offers an opportunity to find gemstones that fill gaps in your collection. You may even be able to repurpose a gemstone from a previously owned piece to make a one-of-a-kind ring or necklace that really makes a statement.

Experiment with Metals

Some people consider themselves die-hard gold jewellery wearers, while others are more about platinum or sterling silver. While metal choice can often be a matter of preference, there are plenty of reasons to experiment and find new styles to love. Yellow gold has a bold, vintage vibe while white gold and platinum are more timeless and classic. Rose gold brings the romance and is growing in popularity for its warmth. From building a necklace, ring, or earring stack to pairing jewellery with your outfits and moods, previously owned jewellery can give you the variety you need to play around with metals with confidence.

Stay on Trend

While you patiently build your collection of classics, jewellery trends will ebb and flow. Previously owned jewellery can be a unique opportunity to pick up a statement or trendy style that you’ve been eyeing. Since trends are cyclical, there’s a good chance the style will become popular again eventually—or you can repurpose it to create a look that’s totally unique and all yours. A good chain or a quality gemstone never goes out of style—it’s all about how you make it your own.
