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 think I could get into wearing an engagement or wedding ring if the circumstances arose - those seem to be about meaning and symbolism more than "decorating oneself."
