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.

Interesting. I tend to think of piercings (particularly non-earlobe) of the sort where one usually keeps the same jewelry in 24/7 a bit differently than bracelets or necklaces or what-have-you. Also, a barbell or captive-bead ring seems to give off a different vibe than a string of pearls or a cameo pin or something.

You're right--but the cameo-pearl necklace whatnot isn't really my thing. When I do like jewelry, it's really simple pieces.
