Do you wear jewelry?

:)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 wore it and 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

Further to this post, my Grandson loves the silver St Christopher that was his Granddads. It was a gift from my Husband's Parents for his 21st birthday and one he wore until he was given a gold one on a chain and this one I wear as and when and treasure it.
 
This last year I started wearing jewelry more and more. I stumbled across a brand I fell in love with and now I can't see not wearing it. I use to just wear my wedding ring and thats all, I wasn't too worried about my appearance or myself for the matter. I am trying to spend more time on me. The jewelry I wear needs to mean something, or I just can't wear it now. I have a new found appreciation for things in my life, jewelry helps me get a story across to people on who I am and what kind of person I am without saying a word. :)
 
I had a beautiful Celtic cross that a friend gave me many years ago to celebrate my British Isles heritage. I never took it off. . .but I was recently in the hospital and they removed it to take x-rays, and it hasn't been seen since. I'm broken hearted about the loss. The only other piece of jewelry I wear is a ring of black onyx surrounded by 6 tiny diamonds.
 
No jewelry these days. Not for jewelry sake, but I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Watch. .. one of the new series 5.

Since I take pictures with my iPhone, why not have a watch to make phone calls on? ... never thought I would live to see this day!
 
The only jewellery I wear when I go out, is pierced earrings, a watch with an opal face that I was given when I left Oz, and 2 rings. I have a vast selection of earrings .. the only jewellery I buy from time to time, even though I keep telling myself I don't need more šŸ˜œ

The most important piece of jewellery I have is a rectangular ruby set in a yellow & white gold art deco setting which was my mother's in the 40's. It's small for me though. It sits in it's clam shaped box, which is a piece of art in itself. I treasure it more than anything.
 
I usually keep things pretty simple with my jewelry these days, mostly sticking to pieces that have some sentimental value. I have a gold locket that I wear almost every day, and it is just comfortable enough that I do not even notice it is there. I think as we get older, it is more about wearing what makes us feel good or reminds us of family rather than trying to keep up with any specific fashion trends.
 
I've simplified my jewelry wearing since my last post in this thread.
Pierced earrings when we go out, and, only my opal ring which was a gift from our daughter a few years ago.

Occasionally, I wear a fine chain bracelet with a small opal (also from daughter).
 
I have a lot of jewelry. I did not buy most of it. Gifts, I have my late Mother's jewelry.
I always wear pierced earrings. Sometimes I wear a necklace or some beads. It depends on where I am going,
I have some nice bracelets. I do not wear them very often. Some get caught on things.
I love rings. I do not wear rings anymore.They get caught on things.

I always take my jewelry off at night, I feel strange wearing it to bed.
I do not know why.
