How much jewellery do you wear?

I don't usually wear much - gold watch, pearl studs, occasionally a ring.

Quite like that heavily laden look on some people though. Thinking of buying a stash of clunky, jingling bracelets...

I don't wear much as I hate to look overloaded - usually little silver ear studs,wedding ring and a silver ring on other hand and several little wooden beaded bracelets,a string bracelet and on the other wrist 3 freshwater pearl bracelets. I hate the piles of gold jewellery look on anyone.

wedding ring, engagement ring , eternity ring, small studs in ear, gold ring on rt hand and gold chain

SSSandy2 · 05/05/2007 17:20

actually that sounds quite a lot altogether ! OK so you disapprove of piles of gold

My fingers have shrunk in the last couple of weeks, it's really odd - i lost 3 rings in 3 weeks, they just slipped off.

Anyway, that's of no particular relevance, except now i have no rings.

I do like wearing bracelets and beads and dangly earings, but not everyday, depends on my mood. Don't like gold. Today i'm wearing long string of black beads and nothing else. Well, clothes obviously.

Always wedding ring and engagement ring.
Watch - either swatch or posh depending
Pearl earrings

SSSandy2 · 05/05/2007 17:25

at losing 3 rings! I took a fab one off to wash my hands once and when I rememebered and raced back to the loo 5 minutes later, someone had nicked it.

I'm not very good at looking after jewellery TBH which is one reason I don't wear much of it.

don't wear much but often wear a chunky pendant or long earrings (wood, shell, beads etc) if neckline and outfit demands.

Don't wear any real jewellery except watch, wedding & engagement rings and ear studs though.

Tutter · 05/05/2007 17:25

just my diamonds

SSSandy2 · 05/05/2007 17:26

seriously you change your earrings every day? Wow. I wear the same ones day in, day out, year round. With the exception of last week because they broke so I had some danglies in.

I wear one ring on left hand (its a commitment band but don't want to maske you all puke)
I have a greek key skinny ring on my right hand and one on my toe
Other stuff depends on occasion

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 17:29

Zilch. I've never worn much, but when I had my son I found I kept scratching him with my watch/ring, etc. Was getting worried about the SS sniffing around, so decided to go 'naked.'

DrNortherner · 05/05/2007 17:30

Wedding & engagement ring, watch and silver tiffany heart ncklace.

Eaerings sometimes, beads and bangles sometiems, depends on outfit.

SSSandy2 · 05/05/2007 17:32

some very coordinated sounding people on here. I quite like unusual looking (dramatic type) rings and ethnic beads but I'm quite small so I don't think I carry them off well TBH.

No idea what a Greek key skinny ring is but I'm intrigued

I just wear a thin gold chain that dh gave me. My watch has conked out and my wedding and engagement rings caused my finger to itch and swell up. Wear earrings and bracelets sometimes, but, having recently watched The Devil Wears Prada I do think the right jewellery with the right outfit can look really great and bring things to life, so I have now been inspired to shop around.

MrsBadger · 05/05/2007 17:33

Greek key rings

NadineBaggott · 05/05/2007 17:33

engagement/wedding ring
ring on right hand dh bought me for 19th birthday many moons ago
watch
ear-rings

SSSandy2 · 05/05/2007 17:37

Oh thanks Mrs B. Know those didn't know what they were called though.

So is this urge to go off and buy a heap of clunky bracelets, thinking of like a charm bracelet, some simple ones and whatever to be worn shoved up one arm a bad urge? Should I fight it or should I go ahead?
