<p>[QUOTE="shamster, post: 10001898, member: 85821"]I always believe that antique jewelry need to be worn again but recently, my paranoid has grown stronger… most jewels I have come with minor problems: loosen settings, moving stones, fragile links… tho most of the time they should hold safely in place but when I try to imagine the possible consequences of losing one or two stones or even the whole piece , I no longer feel the happiness of wearing them. When I am out with them, I check if the stones are all present like every ten minutes. I'm was so anxious that I even drop glue in the setting. Maybe it’s better to just leave them in fancy old boxes? Or cabinets? They are pretty just lying there, why not keeping them safe and sound?</p><p><br /></p><p>some might think these problems are easily fixable by professionals, but I still don’t like the idea of leaving them to someone else for weeks, or bearing the risk of posting myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would you do to your jewelry?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
