What kind of jewelry do you wear?

Post Reply New Topic

I make most of my own jewelry and have several necklaces of silver and copper that I've made. I like labradorite, dyed cultured pearls, iolite, aquamarines, pyrite, lapis lazuli and turquoise (I like blue). I've also made rings, bracelets and a hammered copper shawl pin. I've made earrings too, and I make my own ear wires and clasps when I have the right gauge of wire. But silver wire is kinda expensive now.

I always wear these gold earrings since others cause infection. I make exceptions for parties or special days and wear the flashy earringwith a necklace of pearls or a flowerone.

I have a gigantic rhinestone ring that I wear sometimes. I wear plain studs in my ears made from silver, and I'm planning on getting a whole bunch of piercings in them by the end of rugby season.

The only thing I have on is a watch and a necklace made of inserts, nuts and metal washers.

i wear my family jewels always

None. I used to buy the occasional piece if it was really pretty, but I just find jewelry too irritating to wear.

I always wear plain black cubic zirconia earrings with metal safety backs because I lose earrings really easily otherwise
and this super cute heart necklace my boyfriend got for me I do wear thumb rings occasionally but they are just so uncomfortable. ._.

I only wear "false" jewelry on special days like visiting someones birthday or such events, because I often loose them. So I have some real stuff from relatives and my mother in law, but I only wear it for very special events like weddings, because I am afraid to loose or damage it.

Dragon jewelry. Specifically pins, braclets and necklaces. Maybe the occasional dragon ring. I never got my ears pierced, so I can't wear earrings. A favorite is a silver braclet with a chinese dragon on one side, a chinese pheonix on the other.
That way the jewerly matches the dragon t-shirts and the dragon dress . . .

Leather, seashells, bronze and sometimes a very thin gold chain. At the last social gathering, I wore a gold medallion, that my grandmother inherited from her mother.
It is a very beautiful "elliptic" oval from the 1800´s, and it has an allegorical picture of "the night" by a famous danish classicist artist on one side and "the day" by the same artist on the other.
I have had it for years, but I never wore it before, and I ´ve realized, that I am quite fond of it. (I am surprised!)

Somehow I got really fond of high karat yellow gold lately. Must be influence from our Indian acquaintances. My preference for clothes and jewelry completely changed since I turned 40 last year. Gold is very expensive right now so I mostly wear fake 22k gold filled or plated jewelry. They're shiny and GOLDEN, kinda gaudy and I love them. Usually I wear dangle earrings and bangles or bracelets, my watch and a couple rings. I'm glad about being liberated enough to wear whatever I like and have fun. It's like I've finally grown up. I'm going to try some Indian glass bangles next. I haven't tried yet because I wave my hands when I talk and was afraid of breaking them.

I still wear small studs and subtle rings when I expect to do a lot of work, or need to wear hat and gloves.
