I am anticipating a new addition to my jewelry collection: Archeology: The Forests #1 from Wyrding Studios, which shall be in my possession tomorrow. I've wanted this pendant since it went up, and when it was on clearance sale I finally grabbed it. I am very much looking forward to having it—I was in need of a piece of monochrome-esque/less vivid jewelry, for days when I don't want bright color, and this shall satisfy that need. Plus: pretty.

However, I needed a chain to wear it, and so began a search through my jewelry box which lead to some minor reorganizing and wallowing in shiny things. Which, of course, lead to pictures: shiny pr0n.

My jewelry collection

Give or take, this is most of the parts of my wearable jewelry collection. (I hang on to some watches, earrings, and rings which I don't wear but keep for sentemental reasons, and I have some other miscellany which I wear as costume jewelry.) But my wearable selection is made up of necklaces, interchangable pendants, and a ring; there's a ton of amber and amber-colored stone, a bit (but not enough!) of peridot/peridot green, and the metals are generally silver and copper. Not pictured is the crocheted wire necklace from Devon, which is delicate enough to live in its own box. For what is shown, check the notes of the picture and the further photos below.

Papa/my parents gave me this for Christmas, and I love it dearly. (I definitely recommend her work—high quality, unique design, so so pretty.) I wear it so often that I felt completely justified buying the Wyrding Studios piece—because they were on the same wish list and I know that if I love a piece of jewelry enough, I will indeed wear it often.

This pendant was hanging out in the back of the collection I went riffling through, but shall get more wear now that I've found it. Most of my collection is amber/amber-colored. I love the light weight and variety of real amber—it's nearly weightless and sits at room temperature, so you can barely feel it when you wear it, but every piece is different—in shade, in the debris trapped within. Plus, the color suits me. This is also one of the chains I had hanging around in my box, which will work well for interchanging pendants, including the new one from Wyrding Studios.

Copper and green glass necklace

I'm pretty sure my parents gave this to me, and I'll admit I don't often wear it—choker-styled necklaces don't flatter me. But it sure is pretty, isn't it? Peridot is my favorite color, and ties with amber for my favorite stone. I have a few other peridot necklaces, but never enough—I desperately desire more. (I'm actually leaning more and more towards peridot paired with brass—copper is sometimes too bright, and vies with the peridot for attention; silver just lacks personality).

The only problem is: the more I admire and own handmade and one of a kind jewelry, the more of it I want. Grabby hands. Please may I have a thousand dollars?
