I’ve seen people state that avant-garde jewelry and statement pieces are a new “trend”. But did they ever leave? Every decade had their boisterous wearers of these accessories. It’s time to leave Mejuri behind

Yes yes to all of this! I am a collector of weird jewelry and I love it. Also holy hell on that sardine pendant.

Oh I too, have a thing for freaky (or whimsical) jewellery! Most often than not intriguing pieces can be sourced in vintage and secondhand market places so I easily moved on and saved time drooling over pieces I wouldn't buy despite it being very, very tempting (Dezso by Sara Beltran for instance)

I agree! I also love the history of vintage pieces / the feeling that there's a greater story behind them. Also, I think finding new jewelry I love can be a good source of inspo for they style of jewelry I might be looking which can make sorting through all of the vintage stuff a little easier.

Perhaps we are in similar financial positions to not be able to commission a piece of jewelry but now it doesn’t mean I don’t want to!!

Exactly, perhaps one day, but in the mean time its nice to have a little inspo of what's even possible!
