I have realized that I approach jewelry-wearing as "oh, I am a female person working in an office. I should wear one piece of jewelry each day." Most of my jewelry is very simple, so it's not like it clashes with anything, but I do it as a pro forma thing rather than for any other reason. I wouldn't do it at all if my mother hadn't suggested it, and there is hope yet that her influence will fade.

I generally don't wear jewelry at all, but when I do it's either a certain piece that struck me in a part. way, or something that is an 'heirloom' (defined loosely as something passed down from someone I care about).

I don't have anything heirloom-y, but I can understand/relate to that sort of reasoning. Jewelry that represents something makes more sense to me than jewelry whose purpose is to decorate.
