Do you wear the same jewelry every day?

AngelPuppy1 — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 11:32:32 GMT

This might have been asked before but I was just curious! Do you wear the same jewelry every day? Or do you change jewelry to go with your outfits or your moods, etc.?

When I worked, I would change jewelry pretty much every day. I would, of course, wear my wedding band and engagement ring, but other than that, everything was different. I would mix real jewelry with faux jewelry and had so much fun doing so!

Since I've retired, on an ordinary day I only wear my wedding band. I should make more of an effort to wear earrings, rings, etc. I have so much jewelry and just admire it in the cases and drawers! It's definitely not the same! When I go out to do errands, appointments, I do wear different pieces.

I worked with a woman who had lovely real gold and diamond items - very understated - necklace, studs, rings, etc., which she wore every day - and said she was very happy with these items and found no reason to change. I always thought she looked super and very elegant, and her items looked perfect with everything she wore!

Thank you for your replies!

Intersting topic @AngelPuppy1 . I have a small pottery tray on my dresser where I put my wedding rings, every day watch and the earrings I wore that day. My bangles are always in the glass bowl up there.

My top two shallow drawers have jewelry....on the right is the "good stuff" that I'm making an effort to wear more often and the left is my Diamonique and other fashion/not real jewelry. I tend to wear the fashion jewelry when I go out to shop myself at night or maybe to the hospital/doctor appts. (lately DH is having cataract surgery on both eyes) where I'll be in huge parking decks walking alone.

In the morning, if painting that day, all jewelry stays off except earrings. I've noticed that if I skip too many days w/o them, it's difficult to put them in. I'm thinking about having them pierced again so the holes go straight in instead of my having to wiggle them around until they turn bright pink.

If going out during the day, it's my signature look of watch w/ several bangles mixed w/ a charm bracelet, wedding rings, earrings and my always there pearls with a 16" chain with my name on it. My aunt gave it to me fo my Sweet Sixteen and I recently had it refurbished and a lobster clasp added instead of a spring ring. I've started wearing my gold jewelry again even though it's said silver hair/silver jewelry. I like breaking the rules.

I changed my jewelry every day before I retired. Now I'm lucky to change my earrings every so often.

Did we work together, Angel Puppy? You described my jewelry habits (I'm not elegant or lovely tho). I wear my wedding set, diamond studs and a diamond pendant every day. Now that pendant is a halo of baguette diamonds surrounding a gold disk with cat paw prints representing our 3 Maine Coon cats that passed. I now wear my Apple watch daily because it runs my life.

I never take off my diamond studs in my 2nd piercing (only to clean) don't wear too much jewelry since being retired but wear gold hoop earrings on a daily basis and maybe change out on a weekly basis.

Yes...I have worn the same jewelry EVERY day 24/7. I can only wear yellow gold (even white gold gives me a rash). I clean it several times a week, usually when I wash my hair.

7 earrings, one snake chain choker around my neck, 4 bangles, and a line bracelet.....and probably more rings than "average". All gold, except for an alexandrite engagement ring and the line bracelet.

I carry my watch on my purse strap.

I change up my jewelry depending on what I am wearing that day. I always wear my wedding/engagement set but otherwise rarely wear the same thing two days in a row.

As time goes on (aging) I do look at some pieces and set aside for my niece. She works daily and travels, and does not have much jewelry, I know she will appreciate what I gift her...

I have some RIPKA chains that I would like to sell.

@AngelPuppy1 Like you I changed out my jewelry much more often before I retired. I wear my wedding set and watch every day but mix up my earrings. I love wearing hoop earrings and a necklace but I babysit my grandchildren quite often and the babies like to tug on them so I can't wear my things as often as I used to do.

I wear my wedding band and my sapphire ring on my right hand every day. Other than that I change earrings every day and if I go somewhere ( I am retired) I might wear a bracelet or a necklace. If i have a stay at home day I wear no jewelry and never to sleep in. I take my rings off when I cook as well. Keeps them much cleaner!

Pretty much. I take it off when I am home.

I recently dug through my stash and picked a few pieces to throw in the mix. I just shake my head when I look at what I have. I know my daughter won't ever wear it. She has her own taste and it is very minimal when it comes to jewelry.

Oh well.

I wear very little jewelry now. Earrings every day, a stud or small hoop or leverback. I have short hair and it looks nice with earrings on.

No rings any longer. I was widowed 4 yrs. ago and took them off. Plus in the heat my hands swell. I have bad luck with bracelets--they always get lost--so I don't wear them. I like a necklace or 2 but now it is too hot.

No--I usually don't wear any jewerly at home only if I am going out. But when I do it is always someting different. I have TONS of jewelry so lots and lots to choose from. I usually match to what I am wearing.

Yes ... Everyday - just my small gold earrings and a watch unless I'm going "somewhere."

Jewelry is a mood thing for me. For that reason, the type of jewelry I choose to accessorize with is more influenced by my mood than my choice of outfit. If I'm feeling pearls and diamonds that's what I'll wear even if my outfit is otherwise very casual. Lately, I seem to be into the big bold southwestern pieces than anything else. Since I wear a lot of white, summer is a great time for me to feel the urge to wear my colorful southwestern pieces. Thanks to Carolyn Pollack and QVC, I have attained quite a decent collection over the years.

It's so fun to read the answers to this question

I am one who is matchy matchy so I will always match my earrings (a must for me with short hair) to my outfit. Always a right hand ring which also matches the earrings and wedding band on when leaving the house. When I'm home all day I still wear a simple pair of silver hoops that I keep in a small jewelry box on my nightstand.......this houses my go to stash. I don't wear any rings when I am home as I agree with another poster who stated it keeps them cleaner.

I too have so much jewelry that I just adore some of it from afar but I am trying to wear more of it these days but it's hard in the summertime with the heat.

I don't sleep with earrings or watch on, but the rest usually stays for a while. Same old watch everyday, but earring are changed. Lately I am doing silver and it shines up nicely with a shower.

@Desertdi wow! I love Alexandrite.. years ago I found one in a antique store that they were selling as a Amythest. I could see the green/ red glint in it ,so I knew I needed to take a closer look.. best 60$ I've ever spent.. Sadly it's now gone, "lost" by someone who I thought was a friend 🙄...

I am no longer working. If anything I probably wear more now than I did whn I was working. I had on six bracelets the other day and my husband asked if I had anymore I could put on. SO! the next day I put on more! I love jewelry. Real jewelry, real fake jewelry, old jewelry, new jewelry. I do not discriminate!!
