If a piece of jewelry keeps its color and does not irritate the skin, I consider it a win. Sometimes customer service can fix a bad experience, but not always. They are simply the ones that fit well and survive many rounds of washing or daily use.
I think this is one of the few real advantages we have compared to shopping blindly. Over the last months I noticed that some of my favorite items are not the most expensive ones. I try to balance my budget between basic everyday items and a few special pieces. Some charts are very generic and do not match real measurements at all. I enjoy reading threads where people honestly share what worked and what failed for them. For coats and blazers I usually go one size up if I want to layer sweaters under them. Trendy pieces are fun, but I only buy them when the price is reasonable.
Small review of a web shop I tried

If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.
