Jewelry comes in all kinds of shapes, forms and sizes. You can wear it on your arm, finger, around your neck, in your ears and even on your head. A couple exchanges wedding rings when married. Jewelry also marks other special occasions in life, such as graduations or clubs.
Jewelry serves as a status symbol for some and I don’t mean just for women. Some people think that the bigger diamond in their engagement or wedding rings puts them at the top of the status pole. I don’t think God judges us by the size of our jewels or the amount that we have.
I used to wear jewelry a lot. Now I think about being stalked or robbed before I put on any jewelry. The crime in our world today is at an all time high. I would hate to be jumped and have someone harm me just to steal my jewelry. Instead I only wear jewelry for special occasions now.
With that being said, what is your take on jewelry? Do you like to wear a lot of jewelry? Do you consider jewelry a status symbol?

Me, too. I only wear jewelry on special occasions. During temporary lockdown, I dress up, put on make up and few jewelries. 😀
I’ve been just hanging around the house like a bum and doing chores as needed. Flip flops, shorts and tank top for me. We have been having some nice warm and sunny days.
I used to wear a lot of jewelry (cheap one – not as a status symbol), but lately I don’t wear as many pieces.
I have kept it in a safe place all these years. It is a treasure!
i would bet it is a treasure~!
I don’t like to wear a lot of jewelry. I’m missing one bracelet on my arm.
Same here. Less is more now!
I only like a few pieces of jewelry. Not too much.
I am just now starting to not feel naked without my earrings. Since I retired, I always forget to put them in my ears in the mornings. One day I’m going to find the hole closed up.
I used to wear jewelry in the past. I now have jewelry stored and use it very rarely.
Since I retired and am mostly at home I forget all about it.
I’m retired too, so I rarely use jewelry.
I am retired too and I do miss wearing earrings every day. Staying at home most days, or even when I go out now running errands or whatever, I feel naked. I need to get a pair of post earrings and leave them in!
I do not like to wear jewelry but I like to see it in the stores.
It is always fun to go look at jewelry in the stores.
I was taught Jewelry should be written Jewellery. Do you spell it differently in the USA????
Yes, a single l here in the United States.
Is there artificial in use as well ?
I got a lot of the knock offs when I sold Jewelry in Candles! It was pretty though!
Jewelry can be so many things. My wife doesn’t much like jewelry so in our house it is not often given. She does have a few things she wears that she treasures when we go out for date night.
That makes it even more special! A few nice pieces that are cherished! I still have a charm bracelet that my grandfather gave me at age 4. I remember when he gave it to me and I always loved that bracelet. It has been cherished. Sadly I lost him when I was 5.
i am sorry for that loss. Grandfathers can be magical beings in a child’s life. i bet you treasure that bracelet!
For some reason my reply went to the top of the list. But this piece of jewelry is and was treasured throughout my life. It is amazing that I kept it and kept it safe all these years!
the reply issue has plagued us for years don’t worry!
I would bet this has been treasured for many years!
