I think what you quickly realize is what a difference there is between top quality pearls and relatively inexpensive ones, and once you see or own something that is high quality, it makes the less expensive items suffer in comparison. This has made me shift from buying lots of reasonably priced items to saving that same money up and buying one or two high quality pieces a year instead. Plus, I have come to a place where if I think that I am going to spend a reasonable amount of money on a piece of jewelry, I want it to be the best quality that I can afford and classic so that it will still be in style (or timelessly outside of style) 5, 10, or more years from now.
I learned from you. Now I'd rather save up for better quality than buy less quality. I try not to hoard, which is difficult.
