I don't like to wear jewelry because of sensory issues. Rings and bracelets are uncomfortable and necklaces hurt the back of my neck. Earrings aren't a problem but I don't wear them.
I do really like necklaces though, so I try to deal with them.

Used to wear my wedding ring but don't know. Thought it was weight gain so feeling tight but lost weight and still don't like wearing it.

Used to wear watch but took off when babies were wee as I was worried it would catch on them when feeding - no one seems to wear watches now adays.

I occasionally were a necklace for work but it bugs me.

Jewelery, makeup, high heels ? Meh! :)

No and it's not in my personality too, I'm not a person that likes to show off or bring attention to myself. Perhaps if I had money to afford nice things I would feel differently.

As I always wear t-shirt and trekking shirt, I go for "jewellery" made from natural materials like shells, bones, stone, leather. (My globe-trotter look).
Sometimes I wear a thin gold chain, from time to time with my grandmothers beautiful medallion from mid 1800´s (family piece).
I have considered wearing a small puzzle-piece, but I have not started flashing anything yet. Maybe I should start doing it for the sake of awareness?

I don't like the feel of wearing any kind of jewelry on my body anyways, it irritate my skin. And in my line of work, wearing metallic jewelry of any kind is extremely dangerous. I work with electronics and being around high amperage bus-bars and high powered radio transmitters. Having any metal on your body is a BIG! NO! NO.

I wear jewelry sometimes....mostly earrings. Sometimes I wear a necklace such as my Neurodiversity pendant or a chewable pendant. I also have a necklace from my aunt that's special to me, as well as a vintage necklace that I got from a friend of mine....she had inherited a necklace that had gold inlaid patterns against a black background, and she passed it on to me before I moved. I don't wear the last two necklaces everywhere, though - just for special occasions.

I also have a silicone Finding Nemo wristband from Hot Topic - it's blue and has the words "Just Keep Swimming" on it. It used to have little Nemos and Dorys cavorting around the text, but they wore off. It's kind of a comfort item for me - after my first one broke, I ordered another one. I also wear a velvety purple scrunchie on my other wrist. My hair's not long enough for me to wear a scrunchie, but I just like having one on my wrist. :)

Diamond stud earrings in my ears that I never touch. Once in awhile a necklace that was given as a gift. Otherwise, no. I get.. almost claustrophobic with jewelry on. Like the presence of it, weighs on me.
I did get a FitBit and I worried how I would deal with it.. my desire to count steps and track my sleep has overcome the annoyance of wearing something. There are times when I just HAVE to take it off, get a break.

I don't wear a lot of jewelry but I have some that I wear. I have quite a few necklaces but some sorts of metal irritate me so I have to be selective of what necklace chains I use I like hemp necklaces. I like leather wrist bands but not the false leather that stuff makes my wrists all sweaty and that causes irritation. And I have ear piercings but most earrings I've tried cause too much irritation but maybe eventually I will find some that don't.

I wear it sometimes. I like very simple and organic jewelry. I also like some kid's jewelry. I will sometimes have sensitivities to how things feel on my skin, especially necklaces. I am very sensitive to how things feel on my neck and throat. So I don't wear necklaces too often. I do have an Autism Alert emergency dogtag on a chain that I wear when I go to the barn. That chain does bother me, how it feels, but I put up with it because when I am working with horses I don't like to wear my emergency info bracelet since my hands can get pretty dirty with horse stuff. I prefer to have the chain and tag tucked under my shirt. But as far as decorative jewelry, I do like it, especially earrings, bracelets and anklets, but because I do a lot of sports I don't wear it often.

I have some Silver chains, and oh about a 350 ct faceted Smokey Quartz pendent made by a native american in Northern California. When I wear that heads turn, it's quite magnificent. I love wearing it! :ninja:

Wow. Can you post a pic of the smokey quartz pendant? It sounds really beautiful.

Never have. Never been interested in it. Could never see the point of it.

My ex-partner once bought me a nice Celtic ring but I just couldn't wear it. It was uncomfortable having it on.

I sometimes find rings uncomfortable as well even though I wear them every now and then but rarely. Neither my husband nor I have wedding bands or engagement rings. I know some men who have engagement rings as well as their wives. I think that is a nice tradition. I actually just got a kid's ring at the flea market for a dollar because I love the colors. It's a glass ring that is bright green with daisies painted on it. Even if I don't end up wearing it I will probably use it as a stim piece. I am glad I saw it. I can only be in the flea market for a few minutes at a time. My mom also gave me jewelry that was hers and my dad's and she asked me why I don't wear it. I don't wear jewelry all the time because of how it feels and because of my sports but I explained to her that I still love it even if I don't wear it. I love to look at it and I love the sentimental attachment I feel to having my parent's jewelry. It was hard for her to understand the concept of loving a piece of jewelry and not wearing it but rather loving to look at it or hold it to stim. But she is just glad that I love it in whatever way I do. :D
