Jewellery

I never leave the house without a necklace of some sort, earrings and now added to that a silver bracelet for our 50th anniversary. I’ve even been known to turn back on the odd occasion when I forget to put them on/in! Most of it is pretty inexpensive, a mixture of gifts and things I’ve bought myself. Two of my gds used to take great delight in carefully examining it all and telling me exactly which items they’d like to have “if you die, granny!” Now they’re old enough to realise that dying would actually mean I’m not here anymore, they’re a bit less insistent! ?

Oh, I know that fairy, she’s the one who steals one of a pair of earrings. Then, when you have given up hope of finding it, and have disposed of the odd one ( I have friend who recycles odd earrings) she puts the lost one back. ?

I have a drawer full of boxes with chains and pendants and necklaces and bracelets and earrings and more earrings and rings.i wear the same saphire and diamond small pendant and a pair of diamond stud earrings every day .The rest only sees the light of day when my GD 's want to inspect it or when we get all the chains out to untangle them.

Theres a fairy lives here who tangles chains for fun.Some dont come out of the box year on year apart from untangle day .The small pendant I do wear was one of a pair of earrings given to me by my mum for my 50th birthday.I lost one of the pair the first time I wore them so had the pendant made from the survivor ,the stud earrings were also for my 50th from my OH .That fairy ? Shes the same one that tangles the christmas lights!

I was just thinking I need to re-organize my jewellery. I have a jumble of earrings in my jewellery box with costume, some silver picked up on holidays, and quite good gold with gems.
Having to root through the glass beads and silver to find the pearls is just not ideal! On my jobs list.

My DH added some small hooks to the side of my dresser mirror to hand my costume necklaces, not that I have too many. The proper gold/silver chains with pendants have a spot in my jewellery box.

I mostly wear good rings, but will swap out earrings. Cheaper ones I will wear only for a day, but will leave in pearls or gold hoops for a week at a time.

I have some 'proper jewellery' that i wear all the time - wedding, engagement and eternity rings plus a lovely ring that Dh designed for our 40th. Also wear 3 silver bangles all the time. Never a watch!

I also have three good rings which I rarely wear because they are in the safe!

I have loads of necklaces in lots of different colours and styles ranging from very, very cheap to fairly expensive. I love them! My best friend has lots too so between us we can manage most eventualities.

I never wear mine these days. I must sort out my hoard and either sell it on Ebay or take it to the charity shops.

I’ve never bought a lot of costume jewellery, but I do have some very good jewellery that I seldom get the opportunity to wear. The piece I wear most often is a Blue John pendant set in silver. I have a few pieces of Blue John, but this particular stone has been cut in such a way that it has a very modern look. But my most cherished “jewellery” item is a string of tiny yellow beads that my GS bought for me from a Paris flea market on a school trip. I wear it a lot, not round my neck, but wrapped around my wrist! It ties me to him?.

My ears are pierced twice, wear gold sleepers all the time. That’s about it really, wedding, engagement and eternity rings worn now and again, not all at once.

Yes I just wear a fine silver necklace small hooped earrings generally and watch everyday

I wear jewellery every day and have quite a lot of earrings necklaces and bracelets. I prefer small stud earrings and fine chains and not all the gaudy chunky stuff some older women wear. But then we are all different.

Just earrings that I wear every day. I've got quite a collection and I keep adding to it!

I like jewellery, particularly individually designed pieces. I wear it most days.
Costume jewellery is kept in decorative boxes that my GDs love to sort and dress up in.

I have two M & S large jewellery boxes full of costume stuff. I used to wear something from it daily but not any more.

The trend seems to have gone away from chunky/interesting/colourful types of adornment to more classical pieces.

DIL seems to favour slim gold necklaces or bracelets, but that is not really my style.

I love rings too MOnica but my fingers are really gnarled with arthritis now, so I rarely give them an outing.

I have very little costume jewellery and what I have is mainly of sentimental value. However I love rings, have quite a number and wear them daily.

I am very lazy and wear a silver chain around my neck almost all the time- sleep in it, shower/ bath in it, swim in it. Am I unusual?

I wear about 20% of my hoard but sometimes wear something from the other 80%. Occasionally I weed a few bits out when taking clothing to the homeless unit or a charity shop.

I wear jewellery everyday for work. Smart professional environment, either earrings or a necklace of some sort. Female version of a tie.
