Is Statement Jewelry Aging?

Gorgf · ‎03-10-2010

I was watching a U Tube video on what is aging and she mentioned Statement Jewelry necklaces are aging? So when I wear my Linea, RLM, Heidi Daus, Marla Wynne necklaces I am aging myself?

She said younger women wear simple necklaces and dont wear big jewelry. There was a time in the 80s or 90s when popular but now out of fashion.

I guess I am aging myself. What do you Jewelry Lovers think???

@Gorgf I think you should wear what makes you comfortable. The confidence that you gain by being authentically you will more than make up for some You Tuber's opinion on statement jewelry.

There are so many “opinions” on fashion....some of it is very helpful....but not carved in stone. Wear what makes you feel good. I have a ton of jewelry....many, many statement pieces and I love them and I’m 62....😊

I see nothing wrong about looking age appropriate.

We don't have to feel the need to look like we have never left our teens, 20's and early 30's behind.

Wear your jewelry and enjoy, you've already paid for it.

If you are always chasing the newest trends, or eternal youth, you will be exhausted and dissatisfied.

I don’t care how other people feel about my jewelry. That has never crossed my mind.

I like wearing statement jewelry to spice up plain outfits.

I will say I noticed in all the new shows and online videos everyone is wearing delicate Necklaces.

Rings and bracelets vary quite a bit - unusual and unique seem to be the theme .

But no big bold necklaces.

Statement jewelry may be aging but then so am I which is exactly why I don't give two hoots what the "fashion police" tell me.

Statement jewelry can be fun and funky or worn more traditionally. I have a bohemian spirit so I wear what I love and let the critics have at it. I have many different collections of jewelry and I enjoy wearing it wherever, however, and whenever it pleases me.

I was going through my jewelry recently and did donate most of my statement necklaces.

I didn't necessarily think they were aging but I thought they looked dated.

For me personally...big wild prints, big jewelry, and heavy makeup make me look and feel older.

If you feel comfortable in your make up, clothing, and jewelry..that's all that matters IMO but if it makes you feel uncomfortable..then I think it should be changed.

I think the writer's comments are her opinion - they're not facts.

Although I own both statement and non-statement necklaces, neither are what ages me. I'm aged already, but I do have a feel for what's comfortable for me, for my body type, for whatever outfit I'm wearing, for how much jewelry is too much for me, and for what gets lost on me because it's too dainty and needs me to add another layer or something eye-catching elsewhere in what I want to wear.

Those are my opinions -- and they, too, are opinions only. If there were facts determining fashion, would the world need so many designers, so much choice in the jeweler's booth, more than one color in our closets, etc.?

I say thank heaven for opinions! We wouldn't have bloggers or even these forums if there were only facts rulling our what we wear!
