Do you wear jewellery every day?

What do you wear? I haven't worn jewellery in so long but am starting to make more of an effort and take more pride in my appearance. I've got in some very small pearl earrings and a simple silver necklace with a leaf on.

I wear a silver necklace, and silver ring never take these off. They are presents from my children.
I also have my ears pierced one ear many times the other just once, the many piercings one is always full of various hoops and studs I don't tend to change them very often. The other just has a stud in.
I have masses of costume jewellery from my, younger days but most of it has walked into my daughters jewellery box. Smile

I wear the same jewellery pretty much all the time (day and night, including baths and showers):

Wedding, engagement and eternity ring (all bands) on one hand.

Diamond solitaire ring on the other hand.

Hoop earrings, though I sometimes swap these for diamond studs.

Necklace with two pendants.

Large single bangle on one arm.

Seven thun bangles on the other arm.

All gold. My bangles were my grandmother's. DH bought me the rings. My necklace was my dad's and he and my mum gave me the pendants and earrings.

I occasionally swap to fancier jewellery for events but the above is my usual. I am known as "the lady who jingles" Grin

Forgot my nose stud! My parents gave me that too. I know it sounds a lot, but it really isn't.

Before first baby - yes, everyday, always earrings and bracelet(s) occasionally necklace.
Since giving birth - very very rarely! Because
A) those extra seconds I saved by not putting it on all damn well added up.
B) it would always get in the way with a newborn and then older baby would impale himself on something and now my toddler would break it probably!
C) if ever I put earrings on now I am guaranteed to forget to take them off before bed and them can't find the energy to do it when I realise in my half asleep state so end up sleeping in them which is horrible.

My LO is 20 months now, he was absolutely fascinated the other day when I wore earrings because I wanted to be a bit more 'made-up' than usual for a meeting. He couldn't take his eyes off them and kept poking them! They were only studs! I think it'd blow his mind if I wore a dangly pair Grin

A) those extra seconds I saved by not putting it on all damn well added up when I was sleep deprived with a Velcro newborn.
B) it would always get in the way, the baby would impale himself on something but now he is a toddler he would break it probably or strangle me with it.
