Would you feel stupid if you wore jewelry?

Post Reply New Topic

I think I would, since I can't think of a useful purpose for wearing jewelry other than to increase the likelihood that random strangers in your immediate vicinity will get the impression that you (another random stranger) occupy a high position on the socioeconomic ladder. Their brain chemistry is so precious!

I'd feel stupid and ugly. I think jewelry makes people look shallow in general. That isn't to say that all jewelry is bad, but most of it is.

I have three mineral bracelets I always where they are my faverate possessions, my onyx, quartz and adventurine stone bracelets, they are just mineral rocks on string nothing fancy but other than that I wear no jewellery

i wear dogtag style autism awareness jewelry only when i drive though dont mind it much

If my jewelry doesn't live on my body (i.e. rings, one necklace, bracelets, anklebracelet, etc.) is solid gold or silver then I can't wear it. "Costume" jewelery is luck if I don't rip it off within the first 20 minutes long before I can impress others that I have that socio-economic thing going. I wear my second wedding ring and my Uni graduation ring. I had a nip pierce but I took it out for a mammo and it wouldn't/couldn't find it's way thorough any more.

that's it.

No. I wore fake hearings before I had my ears peirced. I wore necklaces and braclets and fake rings growing up. I wore earrings in my teens when I had my ears peirced.

I just have a cartilage piercing (may want to eventually get my lobs redone). I only have a few necklaces I wear (on a rare occasion), a few random silly bracelets (maybe 3 & 2 of them look like a slinky), and a graduation ring (which I stopped wearing/I can't stand rings & bracelets sometimes drive me nuts/except the slinky ones ) . But unless the piece has some meaning to me (spiritual to random sentimental), or I need to look nice , I don't wear any but the cartilage piercing.

I think jewelry is one of the many ways people express themselves. To me, that's a good thing. Back before I had kids, I didn't wear jewelry everyday, but when I went out, I liked it. Either I wore big hoops (not because it was ghetto, but because I have a long face and I think long faces should wear long earrings) or I went with an Egyptian look as my inspiration on occassion (not just with jewelry, but makeup, and more like a modern Egyptian thing, and it was mainly just being able to use my creativity and artistic talents in making myself feel pretty).

Now the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring and engagement ring. I have a 1 and 2 year old, so any jewelry I wear gets yanked. I would be embarrassed if one of my kids ripped out an earring and then I had some awful scar for the rest of my life on my ear. I probably should start wearing bracelets because it's like wearing toys.

i have worn the same turquoise ring on my left hand since i was a kid..to tell left from right...my finger has sorta grown around it...The stone is sorta chipped..it used to have a sort of duck shape in the veins of the turquoise..that was my 'lill friend... but now I think the duck's head fell off...
I go through jewelry phases..I like chokers...I like how they look..except they choke me. Right now I have a peridot necklace my parents gave me..it is one of my birthstones...I can only handle wearing it for brief stretches of time.
I also have some peridot earrings that I found at a garage sale for $2 that I leave in all the time because they are so lightweight I don't even notice them...but I like to fiddle with them sometimes.

My dad is totally obsessed with semi-precious stones..in a serious sort of way..and buys them compulsively. He really really likes Jewelry. My ASish grandfather compulsively bought costume jewelry for my grandmother..and i wonder if he inherited this trait from him.

I wear a lot of jewellery because I'm very interested in minerals. (Mineralogy student talking here XD) And the socially acceptable way for ladies to keep interesting minerals around is to wear them as jewellery. Besides, they're pretty. So what? Does this make me a shallow person? I don't like that attitude.

Am wear a type of jewellery-medic alert,it's a bracelet type-but the strap is cloth for sensory reasons.
it's got a long bit of flat metal with red medic alert logo to side stuck ontop of the cloth-and it's engraved with name and most of the main disabilities people need to be aware of.The medic alert logo makes it instantly recogniseable by most emergency services.

Sinsboldy,
it might be that the childrens size is big enough or more than big enough.
the bracelet am have is sold as a childs bracelet [all the adult ones are smooth/metally type],and had picked medium sized which even had lots of strap left over.

You're lucky you figured out that you had to have cloth straps for bracelets! I couldn't wear a watch for the longest time; I would always get annoyed with it and take it off, until I realized the band had to be made of this soft rubbery material which is the only thing, barring cotton string, that feels right around my wrist. I wear a watch now and it has helped me keep aware of time. Sometimes, if I don't pay attention, ten hours will disappear just like that and I'll wonder where they went... (Answer: Probably to ADHD-land.)

I also wear tiny silver stud earrings. I can't feel them when I wear them--the only jewelry I can't feel. They usually stay in for weeks at a time. Since I wear my hair very short, so it won't brush against my skin and drive me bonkers (and doesn't have to be brushed much if at all), it helps make the point that I am female. Males who wear earrings tend to wear only one, most of the time.

Jewelry doesn't make me feel stupid but I can't stand to wear it. It feels confining, uncomfortable and gets in the way. I don't even wear my wedding ring. The only jewelry I ever wear is the same set of small barely-there earrings that I can't even feel. I only do this to keep my pierced ears pierced because it took so much courage for me to get them pierced in the first place... I guess that makes them valuable to me.

I've never worn jewelry other than a standard wrist-watch (which I only use to tell the time)
I did have a high-school class ring, but I was not comfortable wearing it (High school is something I'd rather forget than remember).
As for wedding rings, I don't expect to be getting or wearing one any time soon.
