How much jewelry do you wear on a average day?

A watch.

I used to wear a crucifix, but the chain broke. I'll wear it when I get a new chain again.

Just a ring, and occasionally a necklace.

Fun fact: nobody in my immediate family has a piercing of any sort, including ears.

Necklace and earrings.

An engagement ring, a class ring, and a claddagh ring. And a necklace my dad gave me when I was 12.

I'll wear a necklace, or earrings, but usually not both at the same time. Bracelets bug me, not good for typing at a computer all day long.

A watch and 3 rings. Sometimes, earrings and/or necklace. Rarely, a bracelet. Never: toe rings, nose rings, tiaras.

I used to go all out on my earrings. Until I was cooing over my goddaughter one day and had on two hoops in each ear. She tore both hoops on my right ear out and now I have a phobia of dangly earrings.

Oh that's creepy. Reminds me of that scene on The Sopranos where the restaurant guy got his earring ripped out.

Artie?

Artie! Yes!

I loved that fighting scene.

Poor Artie.

I've lost so many nice necklaces to babies. Those fuckers.

That's a pity, because you've got all those tiaras in the vault.

I do? Man, I need to open the vault and sell them.

A wedding ring and it's practically welded on. I lose most jewelry.

the same.

Ya'll need to borrow some tiaras from LobsterGirl--she won't even miss them!

But I'm not sure if I'd look good in a tiara.

You don't know until you try it.

True. Very true.

I wear a crucifix on a necklace and that’s it. If I go out I wear earrings, something small, and maybe a different necklace if it’s real fancy.

I also have a tiara- it gives me a headache though.

I also have a tiara. I bought it for my niece for her Halloween costume, but she hated it because it pulled her hair. So I kept it but I've never even tried it on.

I used to always wear jewelry, mostly costume. Over the years I've amassed a nice collection, plus I went through a jewelry-making phase after I saw a pair of earrings at the library boutique I had to have, but they were $90. I looked them over and decided making them would be easy enough. I was only a few blocks from the jewelry district, so I bought a string of similar pink agate beads and the sterling silver findings. The project cost about $25. I got my earrings and had ten idential pairs which I sold to my coworkers, and I made about $200.

Now though, I only wear a watch, which I don't really consider to be jewelry. Maybe I'll get back into at least earrings one day.

I wear my wedding rings and nose ring all the time. When I go out (which is very rare) I'll wear a necklace and earrings, but not always.

I go for this look on weekdays, then on weekends wear even more:

Dang I can't keep up.

I'm glad the word "it" wasn't in your sentence Larry!

Agreed. "Dang it" is rough talk.

Agreed Jonathan! :-)

Rough talk! Jonathan's been spending time with his grandmother. Sassy boy.

No, they just hang there.

I put some on if I remember.

Nipple rings, Lizzybug?

Alecia wrote: "Nipple rings, Lizzybug?"

Jewelry, I put on jewelry (rings, earrings, necklace) if I remember.

I did have a friend who tried to talk me into nipple rings. That was a big fat NO.

What is it with black men's wedding bands? Why? Who? When?

This is probably a trend that started in 2007 or 2011 but I just started noticing it in the past few months. I don't understand it.

I mean, are they made of rubber? What?

I am also curious.

I just realized that was confusing. Not the wedding bands of black men, but men's wedding bands that are black.

🤣 😂🤣I was googling all sorts of things trying to work out what you were talking about. Trying to avoid searchs that didn't flag me as racist.

One has to be careful to avoid adjectival disfunction as it can lead to dangling participles. Or so I am told 🤔.

I've seen black rings (several genders) that are anodized Titanium. Heavy they are . . .

Well while googling this I came across another (supposed) trend: finger piercings in lieu of a wedding ring...

honestly it's like people have lost their fucking minds!

Finger piercings? Sounds like it would go well with a face tattoo.

This is a weird place this thread turned out.

I enjoy piercings, but not this one.
