Jewelry Addiction will always leave you wanting more. Once you wear a
2.00 Carat Diamond on your finger,
everything else looks little by comparison.Jewelry Addicts can have many different reasons for their spending habits. They could want the envy of their Girlfriends. Jewelry could be used to compensate for other areas in their lives that are lacking. It could be a failed marriage, a stressful job, low self-esteem, a middle aged crisis or maybe just an increase in weight. Usually these addictions are just signs of a bigger problem. It gets worse when interest charges rape you. A $500 Diamond Necklace suddenly turns into a $1500 weight with Credit Card charges.
But there is hope. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It starts with letting go of the Jewelry you don't wear anymore. Sell it. Return it. Do what ever you can to chop away at that bill. Keep only the most important pieces of jewelry. A Ring, a Bracelet, a Pendant, a Watch, some Earrings. Give up everything else.
The only way to get your life and money back is to get a grip on it. It's time to face the facts and sacrifice. Now I'm not saying give up purchasing. I'm not saying don't buy Jewelry anymore. What I'm saying is slim it down, change your buying habits. Buy better!
Buy White Gold instead of Platinum. Buy Semi-Precious Gemstones (Amethyst, Topaz, Citrine, Peridot) instead of Precious (expensive) Gems (Emeralds, Rubies and Sapphires). Purchase Cubic Zirconia instead of Diamonds. They look similar, but are a fraction of the price. And if you really want to turn things around, purchase Sterling Silver! Silver is inexpensive and it'll fill that must-buy-jewelry need!
Cut back and control it. Get the jewelry bills paid off. Be smart in your choices. And above all, don't impulse buy. Those snap decisions, no matter what the deal is, can really hurt when you have to pay the price!
