How many people here wear jewellery? Do you wear the same stuff? Different? Always? Never? Sometimes?

I very rarely wear jewellerey, only on special occasions and when i feel like it. I BUY loads of the stuff, things i really like, but after a while the novelty wears off and it gets ditched.

until recently, I would not want to leave the house unless I had my pewter TARDIS key on a chain around my neck. However, I havn't worn it now for weeks.

i often find that the clothes or trinkets i wear end up having special significance to me, moreso than other people. i have specific articles of clothing that seem to make me feel more comfortable and confident in public, and i prefer to wear these whenever possible. so, if i wear anything, its more of a personal comfort thing than actually trying to look a certain way.

i obsessively collect trinkets/jewellry as well, but find that my initial interest quickly fades. these would always get lost, so instead now i like to collect interesting peices of glasswork and keep them around the house. they are much harder to lose.

while i do not actually wear any jewellery nowadays, i do keep a rubber band around my left arm. i like to have it there to play with when im nervous or bored (keeps me from picking nails too) and i tend to be very uncomfortable leaving home without it on. like your keychain, however, when i was a child i went through phases with certain bracelets or necklaces, where i would never take it off, until one day when i just stopped caring and moved on.

I never wear jewelry, not even a watch. I wouldn't wear glasses if I didn't have to. I have no tattoos. I like the Pentecostals' idea of not adorning the body, though the Pentecostals sure wear some nice clothes. :wink:

I loaned a guy some money like 20 years ago and I have his highschool ring but
its not my size(I never owned or wore jewelry). I have not wore a watch in 10
years(since college). I do not even have a watch with a band on it. Yeah I'm
very nearsighted and bad astigmatism and can barely find my glasses if I'm not
wearing them. But they are a simple design I ordered off the net! $80 super high
index from France.

I don't like wearing jewelry and that causes some issues with my husband because I haven't worn my wedding ring for years.

Oh that's so nice to hear. My wife was always ticked that I wouldn't wear a wedding ring. :)

this post sounds like something my mom would post if she known about wrongplanet.net (or even has a computer) my mom is very opposite of me. i selected rarely or never. my mom on the other hand, i thought i was bad with door closers! (at least i dont hire a cab to go to every locksmith,door repairer and home center just to talk about them until the owners give me one just to shut me up and send me out of shop) her each time id have a day off from school, she would call a cab and take me to the jewelry stores downtown trenton!! it was in a way embarrassing because her way of enjoying jewelry was to talk the owners ear off and hold them up to the point were they give her jewelry and tell her "were very busy" (umm, shoplifters use that method) and with every xmas or birthday until after i graduated high shcool id ask please no jewelry when that present giving time came guess what id get,? thats right JEWELRY!

i highly suspect my mom is an aspie because of the strong interest in jewelry. and the fact that she dont get the nonverbal cues about when to stop yapping about it(she tryed to give me a "lesson" on karets ALL WHILE I WAS INSTALLING A STORM DOOR CLOSER ON A DOOR!) that was kinda annoying while putting the gold and diamonds in my face like a few inches from my face as if i was blind.

i rarely get any jewelry or "lessons" anymore since we are now about 800 miles away (shes in tennessee) and im in nj and since she uses a cell phone for communication she cant spend all day talking my ear off about jewelry. i do miss her though

the only time i will wear jewelry of any kind is to a wedding or a funeral (maybe)

sorry if it was long and babbling on about my mom.

I wear one piece of jewelry. It is small, made of gold in the shape of a band, though not heavy metal and it has a significant meaning to me. It has not been removed since my wife put it there the first time, during a ceremony that I barely made it through, about 17 years ago. In fact, I'm not sure I could take it off, even if I wanted to disregard all that it represents. She thinks this old married guy with a slot worn in his finger for the ring to fit in is sexy and I don't want to do anything to change that idea, she has.

Yeah well, I can't really identify with all these people who go around looking like they fell face first into a fishing tackle box.
I can conceive of the possibility that they probably earned the pain, but I would simply let the old wounds heal afterwards and start a new one each time they deserved another "statement". I wouldn't need to keep a trophy each time.

That happened when I had pre-ecclampsia with my first pregnancy. After my wedding ring got stuck on I freaked out about it and had to wait until a couple of months after I had my daughter to take the ring off.

Although I think it is cool that you wear your wedding ring, being faithful is the important part :) .

It just bugs me. 8O Don't know how to describe it...doesn't feel good against my skin...if I wear a necklace I'm forever pulling at it, or itching...can't wait to take it off on the rare occasions I do wear it.

Likewise. I even forget my glasses most days. No watch, no tatoos, nothing nowadays. Me not wearing a watch drives my mum NUTS. it's not that I don't HAVE watches-I do, I have about six, but I never WEAR them.

I make jewelry, but it has to be super comfortable. I collect beads, vintage and antique glass beads. Perfect hobby for an Aspie. Jewelry making = lining things up with beads.

I also wear it....if I am feeling not too overwhelmed, my ADHD is under control, there is no possibility it is going to snag on anything.
