Do you wear jewellery?

Chuck Stone

I haven't got one piece of jewellery. I don't wear it because it doesn't tickle my fancy.

A former friend of mine pierced my ear with a needle when I was in my teens and I wore an ear ring for a while but that was just because I was a dumb teen.

I also don't wear a watch.

What about y'all? Do you have any jewellery?

I wear a signet ring, an ankle bracelet and 5 wrist bracelets, and I'm a man.

It doesn't look like too much, but when I type it, it sounds like too much. I think it looks fine, nobody's said anything, but I'm slightly paranoid now.

I have earrings and a ring I've worn on my thumb for years... It just feels weird if I don't have one now.

I have a friend who hates jewellery so much she gets sick if she touches it. It's no lie, she hasn't gotten her ears pierced and when her auntie gave her a necklace to wear once she puked all over the floor. It's really weird she can't even touch anything like a bracelet or rings or watches.

I've heard of that, it's an allergy to some form of metal/ alloy, isn't it?

Never worn jewellery and I don't think I ever will. Just don't like the idea of it and don't think it looks particularly good. The worst is those awful looking chains I see some lads wearing around their necks on the outside of their t-shirts. I guess it's supposed to be bling, looks ridiculous imo.

I only wear a watch when it's practical, like when I'm hiking, even hen I find it annoying.

Too much jewellery on women is a turn off too, although strategically placed piercings are hot.

brummytom

Just a watch, except for at work (not allowed).


After my communion and confirmation I wore a crucifix and ring (respectively) for a few months because I thought they looked amazing. Looking back, I looked ridiculous. Thank God I lost them.

snickerpuss

Can't stand any kind of jewellery on men. Don't wear any myself neither. Ick. Don't know how I could do wedding/engagement rings. Cheap fiancee, me.

I don't really understand women who have different rings, earrings and bracelets for every concievable event. I only have a few things that suit everything and I wear constantly.

I wear two plain silver hoop earrings, three silver rings (one on each index finger and one on my right ring finger), a gold necklace, and a silver watch. I'm female.

Chuck Stone

If I was going to wear jewellery (<<< strange bloody word to spell why can't it be jewlry?) I'd wear that neck stretching stuff that those neck stretching people wear.

Like this.

I'd get all the girls then.

What annoys me is that it's next to impossible to find nice earrings for men (in Dublin anywaY). Every male clothing shop with a jewellery section I look in has these big, gaudy diamond earrings for scumbags. Seriously. Even male earrings look like woman's earrings. The only good ones I've found are in Topman but they break really easily.

That's pretty hardcore stuff.

They do it to attract men, you know. You'll attract loads of men if you do that.

Both men and women have been wearing earrings for thousands of years I don't see why men wearing them is so weird.

I dream of quitting my job and swaggering down Abbey Street to get this piercing.

Yes, that's what 'a rebellion' amounts to in my life these days.

I would also love to wear all those neck rings, even if I did look like a giraffe, better then turkey neck anytime, Much prefer sil ver jewellery

That made me think of that auld one in Little Britain who projectile vomits

Back on topic, yes I wear jewellery. Not an awful lot of it but I tend to wear a ring, a bracelet and earrings

I really dislike jewellery on men. I suppose some men are able to carry it off, but mostly I don't like how it looks on men. A watch and a wedding ring are fine. Or even just one ring even if the man isn't married isn't so bad... although depends on the ring, gold is generally bleugh.

I hate those manky diamante earrings you see on the likes of JLS/Chris Brown, NO man can pull those off.

I love jewellery myself, but 99% of my stuff is just costume jewellery (like stuff you buy in Accessorize/Awear/Penney's etc) cos I either lose it or it goes out of fashion.

I reckon as I get older I'll invest in some proper gold & silver.

I was just planning on installing a lazer into it. That way, if I don't like you, zap, I just lazered you.

Nobody would suspect a thing. Very spy novel.

Totally agree. A man all blinged out is a total turn off. Kinda like the poor mans sports car. Using in your face bling and shiney metal to make up for deficiencies else where is just not on. A dude with the confidence in his man hood to wear no jewelry at all or just the simple stuff such as a watch, wedding ring, or perhaps a family signet ring is the biz !

Like to wear earrings and necklaces myself, simple gold, nothing too silver or flash. I do like bracelets and rings, but I have short stumpy fingers and & chubby wrists. Jewelry should flatter the body part it is on imo, not draw attention to its short comings, so I rarely wear rings or bracelets. It is a pity as I inherited a lot of lovely pieces from my skinny bitch of a mother. Oh well, guess the nieces will have a lot to thank me for some day !

I've a few ear piercings and my lobes stretched but that's about it.

if they're small enough they'll shrink back, if for some reason you wanted to 'get rid' of bigger ones suppose you could surgery them up. Wouldnt want to get rid of them though

I'd like to get an expensive watch with a leather strap. But that will be the only bit of jewellery I ever wear.
I dont plan on wearing a wedding ring even if I do get married

Chuck Stone

I was thinking of getting my head pierced so I could be the most extreme piercer of all time.

StonedRaider

I wear a 22k gold necklace with a small 22k gold crucifix. Given to me by my grandparents after my confirmation.And a 24k gold wedding band.
Any of you thought of jewelry as a form of investment?
Whenever I had a few extra bob,I'd always buy a small piece of gold(for the other half).Always 22k or 24k. The price I paid 6-10yrs ago have more than quadrupled.
I have always loved watches...have a Seiko kinetic and an Omega Seamaster that will be passed down to junior.

rossie1977

The first time I read that post I presumed 24k necklace meant €24,000 necklace.

It means carat... right?

I was thinking of getting my cock pierced for that exact reason. And not a little stud either, I'm talking about a big, fuckoff inch thick bangle that goes right through the head... a dickhead piercing, if you will.
