Is this what the young people are wearing these days? Face jewellery? Doesn't look very comfortable. Am I missing something here, would you wear this?

A fool and his money are easily parted, as they say.

Asian and Arab cultures have traditionally warn jewellery on the face.

Is it really so out there? That’s not to say the bloke in the pic doesn’t look ridic.

I also would have said that it's for festival goers. Or as my DD and her friends would say would say 'I've got this for the fezzies'. Many people go all over Europe to dance, do drugs and wear bizzare things.

& I've had to change my style of earrings because they didn't work well with a mask.
there's a reason why it's reduced to half price

It’s for festivals/raves not for everyday wear haha

@CuriousaboutSamphire

That's got "cultural appropriation" written all over it, surely.

Or does that not count when the 'beautiful/woke' people do it!

Cultural appropriation? I’m sure there are people who would say that. Not me though. It’s fashion innit?

🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to do something similar with rosary beads when I was about 8 years old.

The look on that poor model's face.

sashh · 29/11/2020 14:25

It's like something a humanoid alien would wear in a 1980s sci fi.

waltzeswithsnobs · 29/11/2020 14:34

To each their own obviously, I thought it looked a bit silly out of context on my feed in amongst mom jeans and sensible jumpers. At a festival no, it probably wouldn't raise a bejeweled eyebrow.

Thanks, I've been looking for that perfect something for DH for Christmas.

The half glasses might work to
Gold you mask closer on your face and eliminate gaps over the nose area 🤷🏻‍♀️ a few years ago there were arse jewels in primark. I can just see my husband telling me to hurry up and me shouting back ‘hang on I’m putting my arse jewels in!’

BashfulClam · 29/11/2020 15:35

Bum jewels

iklboogeymum · 29/11/2020 15:39

It's called fashion darling

It's called 'shite' in our house.

CorianderQueen · 29/11/2020 16:44

As a 25yo I confirm that none of us wear this except the occasional person who is 'alternative' or tries to be different.

Festival style is different though and yes I've worn some bonkers stuff to those - Crystal headdresses etc. They're meant to be ridiculous (have never worn bum jewels mind).

thenightsky · 29/11/2020 18:52

Those bum jewels just look like she sat down in some gravel for too long.

Maskedcrusader · 29/11/2020 18:55

Not too far away from the 80's. Remember when folk wore a chain going from the nose stud to the ear?.
