Learn to Love Your Old Jewellery Again

Our sense of style and taste in jewellery tends to change over time, meaning jewellery you used to wear daily ends up at the back of a drawer, forgotten.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with buying new pieces of jewellery, learning to fall in love with your old jewellery again can be an entirely different and infinitely more satisfying experience.

Doing so is hard, however, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Here are a few tips to help you along the way.

Give It a Clean

Sometimes, giving your old things a clean can make all the difference. Removing a bit of dirt may be all it takes to help reignite the positive feelings you have towards your jewellery. Dirt may be what caused you to lose your liking for it in the first place.

So, get out those cotton buds and give those old bracelets a good scrub! We have a guide on how to clean some old jewellery and hopefully you can use it as a reason to appreciate it all over again.

Repurpose It

Recycling and upcycling are trendier than ever and jewellery is no exception. If you don’t want to wear your old jewellery or if it’s broken, you can repurpose it to make it into something new and beautiful.

For example, many creative people turn old brooches and watches into stunning works of art. A glittering Christmas tree or a framed ornamental shape puts a different spin on what you might once have believed to be old junk.

Put It On With a New Outfit

Bought a new dress recently? An old bit of jewellery might go with that. You’ll be surprised how our perception of jewellery changes depending on what clothes you’re wearing.

It’s all about perspective. If you find a new way of looking at a necklace you haven’t worn in years or a bracelet that’s looking a bit grubby, your emotions will become much more positive.
