Do you wear necklaces every day?

I hardly ever wear them but I'd like to. I think I look a bit frumpy so don't see the point.
Does anyone else relate to this?
I'd like to change but I haven't got a clue what I like.

I wear a necklace with my late sons fingerprint on the front and his name with 2 kisses on the back, taken from a card he gave me.

I think the only reason I'd take it off is if I needed to for medical reasons.

Yes, my gran’s gold chain with her mother’s pendant (paternal)and a sealed locket with my nana’s (maternal) ashes inside.

TubeScreamer · 03/06/2024 13:20

I never wear them. I don’t like the feel of them on my skin.

Interested in this thread?

Never. I miss them, but my baby broke 2 and I lost diamond pendent, not realising she broke the chain. So I just won't wear any for a while.

CheshireCat1 · 03/06/2024 13:54

I wear a Clogau crucifix every day, never take it off. If we’re going somewhere special I sometimes tuck it in a wear something a little more bold.

I feel naked without a necklace. I have loads but always end up going back to the open white gold heart DH bought me about 20 years ago. When we got married I bought some new jewellery but ended up wearing the heart.

MaryFuckingFerguson · 03/06/2024 14:08

I wear the same necklace, a 30 year old gift from my husband (boyfriend at the time) everyday. Very rarely take it off.

KeepSmiling89 · 03/06/2024 14:10

I used to wear a necklace all the time, but not anymore. I've got curly hair and the catch usually gets caught up in the back of my hair somewhere. Also got a toddler who likes to grab my glasses so a necklace would be too much temptation for her!

As someone who makes jewellery, I'm loving all this necklace love 😊

For my own 2 cents @TheScenicWay a simple piece of jewellery can really lift the spirits. If you're feeling frumpy (and I'm really sorry about that) wearing something small that you love might help. Especially if it's a design that's special to you, or something that you can get comfort from touching (I make a few that feel wonderful and a discreet fidget necklace which is popular for example)

@JonnyTheDogFacedBoy lots of people wear both earrings and necklaces - they don't have to match, but definitely not too much, it's very common. But I'd just wear whatever you're comfortable with

I have a tiny dainty green evil eye necklace that I wear every day and never take off

Iceache · 03/06/2024 15:05

I wear a gold diamond solitaire all the time. It’s a simple bezel set diamond and never comes off. I do sometimes swap it with a rose gold Tiffany necklace I have, and if I’m going out I have a gold chain with three tiny diamonds I wear. Sometimes I layer with more gold or pearls. I do like a boho beaded necklace or two as well!

Mermaidsarereal · 03/06/2024 15:20

I do, I love a necklace! Always have my Pandora bracelet, rings and earrings in too I love jewellery!

krustykittens · 03/06/2024 15:38

I LOVE a good necklace or pendant and have a jewellery box groaning with them. If you want to wear them,. OP, wear them and I wish you much pleasure from them. Life is just too damn short to worry about what other people think of what we are wearing.

BebbanburgIsMine · 03/06/2024 15:41

Yes,

I wear a silver Viking Ship from Shetland Jewellry everyday.

I've waited for a very long time to be able to afford this, so now I wear it every single day, only take it off for having a bath or washing my hair.

OliveTheaBough · 03/06/2024 15:46

Almost every day, and usually a statement necklace at that

Smittenkitchen · 03/06/2024 16:29

I look forward to wearing them again when my baby is bigger! I absolutely love jewellery though particularly earrings.

fussychica · 03/06/2024 17:08

Yes and earrings, watch and bracelet. Ring the changes regularly, both silver and gold. Some old pieces some new. Have some lovely pearls too but somehow I always forget to wear them or they don't go with what I'm wearing. Must try harder!

I don't ever wear any jewellery except my wedding ring. I have loads of lovely necklaces and earrings but I just can't ever be arsed.

Same here, well I am no longer married so no ring for me. I have bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings in abundance but it is such a faff to keep swapping them around to complement different outfits. Plus I find necklaces so fiddly and time consuming to put on and take off . I always wear earings but don't change them nearly as often as I used to do

I change my necklace when I have my monthly facial so I'll wear my dinosaur for a month then my granny necklace ir my cross. Can't be arsed to put a necklace on or off otherwise.

McSteamyorMcdreamy · 03/06/2024 19:54

I have a Tiffany Elsa Peretti initial necklace that only gets taken off to clean. Nearly 20 years old now and looks like the day it came out the box.

Wouldn't be me without it. I love it.

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 03/06/2024 20:06

Not every day, when I do I wear a gold chain my parents gave me (it came from the middle east) and a silver chain with a little circle with a word on which I bought when I split with my ex (it's my motto and what I've gone by ever since splitting up).

I love earrings though so I do dangly earrings more. It also depends on what I'm wearing and if I'm doing anything. Some tops look better without a necklace and sometimes I don't bother with jewellery.

I always wear a silver cuff though, it was a birthday present from my parents many years ago.

Fireflyfly · 03/06/2024 20:55

I wear one necklace , every single day . It’s a Tiffany necklace that my husband got me on our wedding day

SapphireSeptember · 03/06/2024 21:26

Currently wearing four I never take off. The silver and amethyst one I found in a charity shop for the bargain price of 50p, the blue quartz and silver one I got on holiday, the onyx, marcasite and silver one I bought in another charity shop years ago, and the black cubic zirconia heart on a silver chain I bought from argos in the sale, also years ago. I feel naked without them!

CharlotteStreetW1 · 03/06/2024 22:04

I wear this all the time although I might swap it for something "more" for a special occasion.

DH bought it for a big birthday over a decade ago and I just love it.

Do you wear necklaces every day?
