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 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.
