Do you wear jewelry?

Some people like it, some have a little, some avoid it. Do you wear jewelry? How about a watch or a wedding band? what about other rings or necklace or bracelet or even ear rings?

I'm pretty sure we've got some of all of the above here. I guess I'm in the jewelry crowd. Since I was in HS, I have had either a necklace of some sort or a ring or maybe a bracelet. Usually only one of the above at a time. Through college and after, I wore a necklace. For the last 20 years or so, I've almost always had one ring of some sort, but it's almost always been a cheap silver ring of some sort. I've never had pierced ears, so no ear rings. I've been common-law married for 20 years, but we just had a ceremony, so now I've got a wedding ring. I'm happy to have it. I also have a ring that was my father's and one that was my grandfathers and each of those were custom made each containing a diamond from a ring that had been my grandmothers. I have pretty much always had a watch, probably since I was 14 or 15, maybe younger.

Just curious. I know that some folks here on the board eschew anything that could be considered jewelry including watches. I have seen pics of various folks with various bits.

I've included watches in the poll, for me a watch is a tool, and possibly, a piece of engineering to admire. Not really jewelry in my book, but I know that some folks consider them jewelry so I included them.

Do you stick a cork on the tip or let it bounce around.

I have gold necklace I got from my parents when I was like 15, and my wedding ring.

A watch is jewelry.

Most of the time, none.
When I am meeting with clients or executives, my watch is part of "dressing the part".

I stopped wearing a watch. I don't get these guys that wear watches that are 3" in diameter.

My cell phone tells me what time it is anywhere in the world and has my calender.

I have a wedding ring and I do wear a watch but it ain't jewelry. It is just a $75 Casio.

What Mr. Cash said. I have this Cartier that I wear very rarely, about once a year.
