Do you wear jewelry?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to wear a watch, but I always had to take it off after a few hours, because the feeling of it on my wrist would bother me. It spent more time in my pocket than on my wrist, so I just started using my phone as a watch.
I used to wear CBRs in my ears, (I have each ear pierced twice, and wore two CBRs in each ear) but they had hematite beads on them, and they clicked together every time I took a step, which started to really annoy me, so I took them out and I haven't worn any earrings since. They also get in the way when I wear headphones when I'm sitting at my computer, so I don't bother wearing any.
I can't wear necklaces or bracelets, because I'm studying microbiology in college, and we're not allowed to wear dangly jewelry in the lab, and I'm in the lab most days, so there's no point.
I don't wear rings because I don't like the feeling of them on my fingers. It gets on my nerves and I have to take them off.

I don't know if you could call it jewellery. They're just a bunch of knotted cords which I wear tied quite tightly on my wrists. They annoy the nurses when I go into DEM because they can't be taken off to put the cannula in. They're good to play with and they cover my wrists, which I don't really like to look at.

I knew a woman who was an extreme submissive, who wore a rounded, circular steel collar like a hoop around her neck, with a locked padlock at the back. Only her master had the key - she could not remove it herself. I was intrigued by the idea of how this "jewellery" (as it would look to the vanilla observer) could be used with meaning, but could never submit to such myself.
I'm interested in body modification, thus wear a 16 gage "flesh tunnel" through each ear. It's not for decorative purposes, though, mainly as a result of the body modification of stretching which I was interested in. Otherwise, jewellery is too uncomfortable for me sensory wise.
I'm not too sure of the reason behind decorative jewellery - anyone have an insight?

Normally, I wear my engagement and wedding rings, as well as my earrings. I rarely wear bracelets and watches anymore, because wearing them after a while irritates my wrists.

Well bondage does not necessarily have something to do with sub/dom or S/M. Most subs wear collars and sometimes even leashes. But you won't really notice if someone is into bondage and is wearing a harness or so under their clothes or a neck corset under a turtleneck xD.

I quit wearing a watch years ago.

I have a senior ring from college that I may wear ten years and then turn around and not wear it for ten years. The last time I wore it, the skin under the ring started to itch for some reason so I took it off and never got around to putting it back on.

I have a watch, does that could? I also have made bracelets from loom bands but I don't wear them, I just have them on my fingers to stim with because it was recommended I do that to stop scratching myself. I haven't scratched myself but yesterday I did punch myself loads of times in the head and some parts are swollen but not as bad as it had been and that was from frustration rather than stimming.

So other than watch and loom bracelet in hand no I do not wear jewelry I do not own any because it annoys me really.

I wear leather and hemp bracelets. Once they go on, they stay on until they fall apart. Twisting them on my wrist is a good stim that helps keep me from rocking too much.

I don't really wear jewelry. Don't see the point in it. Especially stuff like rings.
If I were to wear jewelry, it would depend the kind of aesthetic I want to achieve. I am generally on the more alternative side, so I would probably be minimalist and wear a choker and maybe a studded bracelet. That's it. None of those necklaces or metallic bracelet thingies.

Yes. Sterling silver and 18K gold are fine - I've never had an allergy. I've worn some "costume" stuff and been okay too.

Stylistically, I like gemstones - by themselves or set in silver. They don't have to be expensive - just any one that "feels" right (not necessarily in a physical way).

I've made a few pieces myself: attaching small beads to blank leverbacks for earrings, creating pendants out of old coins, stringing gemstone beads on stretch cord for bracelets...stuff like that. I was at an art show yesterday and may now try making rings out of high-gauge jewelry wire.

I wear two rings regularly (a Celtic knot ring and a turquoise ring, both in sterling) and usually wear a pendant of some kind each day, earrings if I'm going out. I stack two or three (or more) bracelets behind my watch (stretch band).

Do headbands count?

I don't like getting "fancy" with clothing, so I accessorize my "T-shirt and jeans" look.

I only wear a watch and my (sort of) wedding ring. I like the heaviness of the watch, but the ring took a looong time to get used to. I used to take it off all the time to 'calm down' from the feeling of having it on, but now I practically never take it off, and when I do, it feels awful not having it on. I also spin it on my finger as a stim, so I want my ring on at all times so I can do that.
I used to wear 2g ear tunnels until recently, when I lost one and just took them both out and let the holes close. I miss them, though. I liked them.

I love jewelry, to an extent. Some days I can't wear it because I can't stand to have anything touching me, and chokers are almost always out of the question. They make me feel like I'm choking. Long dangly earrings are also bad most days because they touch my neck. I do have two rings that I wear (wedding and other) that I can't take off without feeling incredibly uncomfortable. I also like bracelets, as long as they're not too loose. My husband made me a chainmaille bracelet that's nice to wear because it gives me something to play with when I get fidgety.

I permanently wear some rings. I have pierced ears and like to wear earrings but only during the day; I take them off before bed.

I sometimes wear necklaces and pendants, but I can't stand anything tight around my neck or anything that rests on the area where my neck meets that spot between the two clavicles. For some reason that drives me crazy. I can tolerate some clothes touching that spot, but not heavily.

I used to wear necklaces and bracelets occasionally but I haven't done it in ages. I like pretty, sparkly things but like most pretty sparkly things wearing it is a pain. The way chains are all rough and scratchy on my skin. Or the way beads feel all bumpy. Plus it's such a strangulation hazard. it used to be something I'd do to show I have a female side, but now I'm like, whatever.

I once got my ears pierced when I was 14. I think my mom was happy I wanted to do something that's "normal" for a teen girl. But I had a hard time with disinfecting and rotating the studs every day and my ears never seemed to heal properly. And then I had to take them out for surgery, and when I tried inserting new earrings afterwards the holes were too small and they'd bleed.

Sometimes I'd wear clip-ons, but they pinch horribly. It's worse than an ear-piercing.

I'm a guy who never had an interest in jewelry so I never worn any.

It is pretty, or 'decorative' :-p
