I have never gone overboard with jewelry but I have been tempted. The most daring thing I have done is wear an earring. But that was back in the early 1970's just as earring for guys were fashionable because I noticed few trend setters started wearing them. But when I got one I could not put up with all the extra teasing for it so I took it off and I have not worn one since. The same with neck chains and bracelets. I certainly would not be daring enough to have my nose pierced. If I ever considered wearing jewelry in the future for me it would be something understated like a small single earring, a fine neck chain or cuff links or something. In the mean time the nearest thing I have to jewelry is my watch.
Does anyone here wear jewelry

I like the look of some jewelry,nothing expensive.I really like semi-precious stones; opel,agate,etc.But my skin eats metal.My skin is so acidic it just seems to eat through the silver and then the base metals make me break out in a rash(especially when it's hot.)I dont like the way rings or anything on my wrists feels but I have worn some when going to a "social setting".

I had a surgical steel lip piercing for a few years and that didnt seem to bother me but as soon as I took it out for a job interview,it closed back up and I couldnt get it back in the next day,so I left it out.No jewelry for me now but I still buy somethings at thriftstores/garage sales just to use it as decoration in my apartment...so my apt wears jewelry.

I always wear seven earrings (I have seven ear piercings), and I have a ring I like to wear... Nothing too fancy.

I always wear a silver necklace, and I love it! (I don't know why)

Also my mom gave me a gold bracelet some years ago, and I wear it. Sometimes I wear earrings too.

I keep my pentagram on all the time...never take it off and haven't taken it off since 2005, but apart from that, I don't wear any. I got back into earrings and stuff again for a period and bought lots, but it all just sits in a box now.

All my teen & adult life, I've worn a ring. At first, it was something from my father's youth, then a wedding band that I found. These were always placeholders though. Finally, my wife found MY ring: a Seljuk one. No idea what the history is - but she knew that it was mine. And she was right. It's all that's left of my regalia now.

think some people are bad with obcessing about jewelry, my mom has or had a case of that obcession, and uggggghhh, i caught the recieving end of it, she for every , yes every birthday, and xmas, what did i get, thats right, jewelry, whenever id fix a door closer or sit with mine (the one in avator) or fix a car, what would happen?, id have a lesson in that particular subject, (stones, diamond grading, Kts) i havent seen her in about 6 years now (parents are divorced) so i dont get it anymore but i still love her for who she is but the jewelry thing, just got bad to point were the jewelry store got more important then a ride to school if i missed the bus to school.

with tv veiwing, that was restricted to one channel, msnbc(shopping) HSN (home shopping network) QVC and some diamond auction show (shows really close up of jewelry) i once told her, you know i love door closers and if there was a show on all day of really close closeups of them like this show, id watch it sometimes but not obcessively, just because im female dont mean i have to love jewelry or be femenine(spelling?)

I rather like necklaces, but earrings, rings and bracelets (especially tight bracelets) make my skin itch... and so, I don't like them and nor do I wear them.

Although, I had an obsession with making jewellery out of artificial pearls when I was 12. I've made a lot of them...

I haven't worn any of my rings since 2005.
I'm a compulsive buyer of junk jewellery though. Necklaces mostly
