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).

Most of my jewelry, like most of the art I display in my home, has some very personal meaning to me - it was from a special place I visited, was made by someone I know, or was handed down to me as an heirloom.

It's sparkly! I like the shininess. Especially silver. That was part of the reason I was so sad when I had to take my piercings out--there was much less sparkle on my face.

I own some jewelry, but don't really wear it as most of my clothing is not jewelry-appropriate. At this point I would feel bad if someone bought me a very nice piece, as anything worth buying for someone as a gift would probably not work well with t-shirts.

The only jewelry I wear is this ring, which is my engagement ring. I dislike jewelry on myself in general, but I love this ring. It's stainless steel and concrete, and has rivets. How much cooler can you get? ;)(And when I can afford it, I enjoy buying jewelry for my SO.)

I don't wear jewelry outside of my wedding and engagement rings.
I used to be an earring person but nursing and earrings don't mesh well for me.

I have pierced ears and a few pairs of earrings and a couple of necklaces, but almost never wear jewelry. I'm just not in the habit, I can't really afford it, and it's accessorizing, which is not my forte. That said, every so often I put on an outfit and think, "This would be perfect with the right necklace."
