Do you wear jewelry?

Jewelry is one of the few things that I really like buying anymore. I like jewelry more now and I wear it more now than I used to when I was younger. The vast majority of my stuff is costume, but I do have a few really good pieces mainly given to me by my husband.

I have a couple of ruby cocktail rings that were my mother's. I wear these to work, what the heck. I like going to the summer art fairs and buying little trinkets like shells, fossils, beads, stones, etc. and then going to a jewelers to have a custom necklace made out of them. I would love to go to a jewelry making class so I could start making my own.
 

I have never worn much jewelry, and mostly what I did wear was just for an accessory, and never anything valuable. I have even pretty much stopped wearing earrings, and we really do not go places where I want to wear jewelry in any case.

However, I do wear a copper bracelet because we need copper, and it can be absorbed through the skin from a bracelet. When looking on Amazon, I also found necklaces made from copper wire with gemstones or crystals in them. So beautiful !

I am going to try one with Opalite and copper wire, and we also got one that has several kinds of healing crystals in it as a present for my daughter for Christmas.
I found a book about healing crystals, and am just starting to read about them, but I was wondering if anyone has any jewelry with crystals in it, and if so, what kind you have and if you think it helps ?
Here is what the ones I am getting look like.

Through the years I'd accumulated so much jewellery .. then, I stopped wearing necklaces and bracelets. I also made and sold jewellery at one time. Finally, I donated most of it to Goodwill.

I do wear pierced earrings when I go out, and have a couple of bracelets and necklaces I was given as
gifts that I will keep.

The tree of life copper wire pendant is gorgeous.
Once years ago I purchased a large crystal stone but threw it away as I didn’t like its energy. Lol 😝

They look very pretty HFL.. but won't they turn your neck green? :oops::D
 
I am not worried about that happening , Holly. The copper bracelet does not do that, at least not enough to be noticeable . The main idea for me to even wear the bracelet is so that it would “leak” some copper into my skin, because I don’t want to have a copper deficiency.
If it turns out that the necklace does turn my skin green, then I will have to deal with that problem when it happens.
 
Lately I’ve been trying to wear a ring but after years of never wearing any jewelry it feels so unusual. I’m still going to try and get my old platinum gold ring fixed. It was a comfortable ring. When I get it fixed I’ll show it. It’s nothing fancy. It’s actually very simple which is perhaps what I like best about it.

As i posted in here, I have my Husband's rings and his engagement ring in 1962 on my finger and his Dad's gold signet ring and his own 21st birthday gold band from his Mum and Dad and a ring from me a half cougerand popular back in the 70/80's here. All in a box with his ID gold bracelet.

I am giving one of his rings to my 15 year old Grandson and let my two Sons choose one for themselves as a keep sake. Will keep the other items and decide what to do with them but I cant face selling them...too precious.
 
I wear my wedding ring, engagement ring n anniversary ring on my left hand, an emerald ring my hubby gave me for my 50th birthday on my right hand. Hoop earrings, 3 thin bracelets, a Fitbit a coffee bean charm on a silver chain around my neck. I change my earrings everyday. I also wear makeup everyday, just blush n lipstick, even tho I’m not going anywhere but it makes me feel better. 😊
 
:)Today I gave my teenage Grandson a precious gift. I gave him my Husband's, his Granddad's 18ct gold ring that his Parents gave him for his 21st birthday in the 60's. He never wore it but treasured it. I also gave GS another item of good jewelry and to my eldest Son a gold ID bracelet that men wore back in the 70's and 80's but rarely if ever seen them now on a man's wrist. A silver St Christopher medal that GD wore back then went to my Grandson. He is delighted and promised me to care for them as he loved his GD as my Son loved his dear Dad.

I showed him the items privately today whilst I was over at theirs with my eldest Son present and asked them to treasure them and they promised. I am so happy that they have been passed on to my only Grandson and kept in the family. Ive got a couple of other items to give to my youngest Son tomorrow when I am at theirs for the day.

A lovely part of my Christmas Day at their home
 
Small earrings and a watch for work or running errands. Favorite earrings are leverback or small fishhook wire styles. Don't like studs. I have a small pair of diamond drops and a pair of diamond hoops for dressier days. Occasionally I'll wear larger costume dangle earrings going out. Favorite bracelets are mixed metal, mixed natural stone. Favorite necklaces are a strand of freshwater peacock pearls and crochet wrap necklaces that I make using gemstone chips. I rarely wear rings but have my grandmother's Edwardian gold, platinum, diamond band and a few stacking rings made of various metals and stones. I don't like the feel of rings so only do those for serious dress up.

I wear earrings and necklaces almost daily. Occasionally I will wear a bracelet and rings. Awhile back in need of money, I sold most of my good jewelry so don't have too many rings. Now if I buy a new one it will be costume. I find, I like the costume jewelry better because I like beads and don't worry about losing a stone or a ring due to the value.
 
I wear my Apple watch everyday. Do not wear rings to the gym (weights and stuff). Will put in earrings. When going out I bring out my good stuff!
