Of course there are many reasons to add to your jewelry collection. In fact, it’s hard to find reasons not to add to your collection! With all the gorgeous pieces available today, and with the affordable resource of Bidz.com, you’ll want to add to your personal jewelry collection often.

Below are the top five reasons to add to your jewelry collection:

1. Stay with the times! Though some rings, necklaces and other jewelry styles are classics and remain fashionable and gorgeous for what seems forever, it is also quite true that jewelry goes out of fashion. Swap out the old for the newest styles. Remember: if you want your collection to span the decades, avoid trendy styles.
2. Add variety to your accessories. Jewelry adds variety and color and is the ultimate accessory.
3. Coordinate with your wardrobe. Show the fashionista in you! Coordinate your jewelry with your outfits for a complete and put-together look.
4. Stick with the seasons. Colors and styles of jewelry change over the years, but they also change with the seasons just like your wardrobe. Add pieces to work with the outdoors and the fashions of the seasons.
5. Build a valuable collection over the years. A fine jewelry collection can add quite a bit of value to your personal net worth. It also creates tradition and heirlooms to be cherished in your family for decades and even centuries to come.

One of the most prominent gems this time of year is garnet. This pretty little stone makes quite the appearance this time of year as it is the official gemstone for the month of January. Being a January baby myself I always keep my eyes peeled for great garnet pieces to enhance my own personal jewelry collection.

Garnet has been used in jewelry and for other purposes for thousands of years. Most of us think of the traditional red garnet, but did you know this gem is available in almost any color? Lovely! Garnet is like topaz in this respect.

Keep your eyes on our auctions this month for great pieces featuring the month’s favorite gem: garnet! Good luck and happy bidding to all!
