Today\u2019s Jewelry Collection Story<\/strong> comes from Meghan of @meggie.gold <\/strong><\/a>who I first stumbled upon on TikTok and then followed over on Instagram. I have really enjoyed following her as I\u2019ve seen her journey with making jewelry start from the very beginning. From sketches, to wax carving, creating her own studio space, it has been wildly unbelievable to see how far she has come in such little time. It is obvious that her artistic and creative talent are shining through in the pieces she creates. Meghan has launched her own line of fine jewelry called M.Grace Fine Jewelry and I can\u2019t wait to see more from her in that space. I\u2019m excited she has agreed to give us a look into her personal jewelry collection:<\/p>\n

\u201cHow long have I been collecting? I think it depends on how we\u2019re defining \u201ccollecting\u201d. Like many people, I have worn jewelry for most of my life, and I have some pieces that I inherited or was gifted as a teen. So, in that sense I\u2019ve been collecting most of my life. However, I think I started collecting more \u201cseriously\u201d a few years ago. By seriously, I mean that I started to really prioritize setting aside money for purchasing jewelry rather than other things a few years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

I feel like I really only started to develop my jewelry style a couple years ago. As I said, I have a handful of solid gold pieces that I\u2019ve had since I was really young (as my mom is also a jewelry fanatic) but, and people who follow me may be surprised to hear this, I actually wore silver jewelry for many years in college and a bit after! Even all of my ear piercings were silver. I totally was a silver girl for a long time, which is super funny because now I don\u2019t even really mix metals. So, all to say, my gold collection really only started ramping up a few years ago.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to collecting antique jewelry, I\u2019m really drawn to different textures. I love mixing chains of different textures & links, or having a big jumble of charms that are all solid gold, but differentiated by the different textures.<\/em><\/p>\n

Enamel is another thing that I absolutely adore, and want to add more to my collection. Especially vintage and antique enamel pieces. I\u2019m obsessed with the little pops of color.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLike many other people, especially women, I\u2019ve had a really hard time with body image issues my whole life. And for me this really was a big barrier in me developing my style \u2013 I think it\u2019s hard to find an appreciation of clothing and fashion when you are so focused (negatively) on how your body looks.<\/em><\/p>\n

It took me until my mid-twenties (when I finally grew a frontal lobe \u2013 thank god) when I started to focus a lot more on accessories than the actual clothes I was wearing \u2013 shoes, purses, and JEWELRY. And it was a gamechanger. A way for me to develop my style, feel good about what I\u2019m wearing, AND it doesn\u2019t involve size tags? I\u2019m so in.<\/em><\/p>\n

After I started really focusing on my jewelry style and then structuring my clothing choices around that, it was much easier for me to be more\u2026 body neutral I guess? Like, the focus of my outfits didn\u2019t have to be how my body looks in something, the focus is the BLING!<\/em><\/p>\n

So yeah, obviously I could talk endlessly about my appreciation of the art and history behind jewelry that makes me passionate about it, but this reason is really the core of my attraction to it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI do the vast majority of my jewelry shopping online. I think at least 50% of my jewelry collection is antique \/ vintage pieces that I\u2019ve gotten from Ebay! I frequent Ebay, Etsy, and ShopGoodwill. There\u2019s also a handful of vintage sellers that I like, places like Lillicoco, but the majority is honestly Ebay.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have a handful of pieces that are my everyday wear \u2013 or my \u201cjewelry underwear\u201d as Okay______Fine calls it. I wear a ball chain bracelet from Etsy, a flat chain from ShopGoodwill, and the Bettine chain from Didi Rose every day. My birthday present to myself this year was an addition to this daily bracelet stack \u2013 a nice chunky vintage biker from Alpha Omega Jewelry.<\/em><\/p>\n

My engagement ring, an antique rose cut diamond flush set in a custom setting from Vance Davidson jewelry, is basically superglued to my finger.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course all of my earrings and piercings are also daily wear \u2013 some literally never get changed\u2026 and that is a whole rabbit hole I could go down. I\u2019ve always loved piercings, I was that girl who went and got her nose pierced the second she turned 18, and piercings were the first thing I really prioritized when I first started really getting into solid gold jewelry. I\u2019ve spent a lot of time working on my ear curation, and I have a lot of plans for the future, but still am very pleased with how they look now.<\/em><\/p>\n

The majority of my studs are threadless studs from BVLA, and I have a couple from Beatti on Etsy. My chunky hoops are from Kinn Studio, and my smaller ones from BabyGold. Most of my dangly charms are my own creations!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
