Do you wear jewelery ?

[Rane Longfox]

I broke my watch while travelling round - it was hell - have to have one.

Other than that, i have a snake-motif ring on my right hand, and normally a pendant around my neck, but the leather broke, so I have to make a new necklace for it at some point.

Pride and joy is the rope ankle band I got in australia. In green and gold, of course It's a sailing mark of experience. An old fashioned one, sure, but none the less

Nixie, that's spooky; two of us from Yorkshire, two of us with allergies, and two of us with watch-stopping properties. Is it something in the Yorkshire air?

LOL, well I'm originally from Glasgow. The funniest expierence I ever had with a watch was my mum's silver one, every time I put it on it went backwards

[Allegra]

It happened to me once too! At the time I was seriously thinking I might have some, you know, supernatural power.

[nixie]

We have, well on here anyway

[HardScienceFan]

Am very fond of hand-crafted jewellery, but there's some stuff that's pretty much permanent. Don't wear a watch though. They don't seem to like me at all. They stop or run funny.

There's an anklet with bells on my left ankle courtesy of my dad who said I was too quiet on my feet otherwise. A gold necklace and pendant with nine precious stone meant to represent fate given to me by my mom when I was 16. A bracelet on my right wrist that gets changed every couple of months. That's gold so it just stays there. A diamond stud in my right ear which just stays too. A coral ring.

The earring on the left ear, anything that goes on my left wrist changes. I usually get them made up at craft stalls because then I can get just the one earring. Same with any extra anklets. I have several drawers full of earrings, bangles, bracelets and anklets from many parts of the world.

I have 2 hoops in my left ears cartlidge which I don't take out so I always have them in

if I'm going to work (or daily non dress up type stuff) I'll wear a watch and a stud in my right ears cartlidge

If I'm going out for dinner (or something to that affect). lobe earrings, necklace, braclet and rings if I can get matching ones - but all costume type stuff. nothing expensive.

I don't normally wear jewellry, but suddenly had an image of my wearing some kind of a sun symbol necklace the other day. Maybe bangles and rings as well. Probably a sign of deepening mid-life crisis, though.

I always wear my watch when I go out. I usually wear my wedding ring but always take it off when I am about to do DIY or sports. Rings are very dangerous things around tools and machinery.

My metalwork teacher at school had no ring finger, some piece of equipment had snagged under his wedding ring and taken his finger clean off.

Well, after saying I don't wear much jewellery, I actually purchased two rings while out today! What was especially nice is together they were meant to cost nine pounds...I got to the till and found out they were a pound each. Score! It feels weird wearing rings, I haven't worn any for so very long. And they do get in the way.

And the reason I bought them was because they're...ah...orange.

I always wear my watch, apart from under the shower of course! It has a small dial and narrow leather band. Small and dainty chain earrings and a dress ring is my normal everyday jewellery, anything else is too much.
For special occasions I wear a string of river pearls and matching earrings, but special occasions are few and far between!

Speaking of the funny things a watch can do, it suddenly dawned on me that, every watch I wear goes twice faster at weekends!
