Do you wear any jewelry/accesories?

[HarleyQuinn]

I myself wear a Peugeot blue quartz watch (my sister and Mom got it for me) on my left wrist and an ankh necklace that goes down to my chest. I got the actual ankh in London (The British Museum IIRC) and my Dad replaced the leather wrist chain with a longer silver one.

So, how about you guys & girls?

[AJ]

A casio watch is the closest I get to jewlery. On 'formal' events however I do wear my dad's gold watch along with suit, tie and so forth. But thats it.

[Firelie]

I don't wear jewelry. I like it, I just don't bother wearing it. Especially rings! Ugh, I can't stand wearing rings. I've got a little bit more webbing between my middle two fingers than the others, so any rings I wear there inevitably become crooked and I obsessively like my rings to be straight across the finger... If I ever get a guy worth marrying, I sure hope he's not into the whole symbolism of the wedding ring thing, cuz I am not going to be wearing one....

[logan235711]

accessories are silly, there's no reason to go out of my way to show people what i think or create some image that doesn't add value to anything or have any use, if they care and I care enough to respond, then they'll know what i think regardless. there's plenty of clocks around that if i ever need one it probably wouldn't be more than 10 steps away and if I was stranded on some desert island the sun is good enough to measure the time : )

[TeleportThis]

I wear a puzzle ring, because it's really pretty cool. I have a tongue piercing, if that counts. Other than that I don't wear jewelry. I used to wear a watch, but it broke a couple of months ago and I haven't bothered to replace it.

[OneBadMother]

Whenever I wear jewelry I usually don't take it off for long periods of time. The exception is earrings, which I wear periodically when I actually want to look nice.

[ShaiGar]

I have a silver and onyx signet ring with the letters SG engraved into it. I used to wear a silver watch my mother got me for my 22nd Birthday Present, but it broke and I have not replaced it. I also have silver and onyx cufflinks for any occasion I am going somewhere that requires formal clothing. I like silver, reminds me of the moon, and moonlight sonata, and I love black.

Other than that no.

[cielo market]

If I remember to grab them in the morning: a silver watch my father gave me, a silver thumb ring, and a mood ring on occasion because I like the pretty colors.

If it matches, I will either wear a black choker I made out of leftover fabric, or a gray necklace with a very small heart charm that people tell me looks like it has bullet holes.

Fancy earings and necklaces are reserved for special occasions, or if I'm bored.

[Opti]

I always wear a watch until it falls apart or starts to look battered then I replace... My current one is black/silver armani

I wear very small silver earings and matching chain ..

I wear my old wedding ring (now divorced) on opposite hand .. not for sentimental reasons ..

I hate to see on women in particular .. a million gold chains adorning their neck and a ring on each finger .. I think It has the opposite effect on what they are trying to achieve ... i.e it makes them look cheap and tacky ..

[thegnat]

Watch.

That's all.

Necklace, earrings every once in awhile. When I have to dress up. These will be the times I'm wearing make-up.

[OneBadMother]

I think I would prefer a wedding sword, personally. Rings are pretty cliche, a good-quality sword is about as expensive as a medium-quality ring, and you could go into symbolism about how it represents your love that was forged in passion, tempered in wisdom, and serves to protect one another. Or something like that.

Also, it would make for an excellent twist on the usual "ooo, what kind of ring did you get" scene at the workplace. A twist that might get you in trouble with security, but a twist nevertheless!

What if the ring was forged at mount doom?

And you'll never have to worry about your sword falling in the drain ;)

After reading the posts on this thread, I've noticed that INTJ's wear very little jewelry, and if they do, it's a combination of unique items to our tastes and/or a gift from a loved one.

[generalowk]

Most jewelry is frivolous. I do wear a nice analog watch (no numbers on it), which is mainly for practical purposes. Though I've discovered that as I normally have my mobile phone with me, I wear my watch less than I used to.

Even so, I have a higher chance of losing it than, let's say, a legendary sword wielded by my ancestor reforged by elves. <_<

[Rei]

Simple star-shaped, silver pendent on a simple short silver necklace. Usually a simple silver ring on my left middle finger; only time I don't wear it is when I go to work at the clinic; washing your hands often+wearing rings=bothersome. I used to wear one on each hand, but it started to look too much.

Recently pierced ears; small, simple, star-shaped, stainless steel studs.

Watch, I have three so it depends what I was wearing that day/what I was going to do that day. Plastic, WHITE swatch for casual outings, metal swatch for work, leather banded tissot when I go exercising and on some outings

Glasses... if you consider that an accessory. One white pair, one fushia... I only got two pairs because one of them has a handy clip-on for sunny days that I can't stick my contacts on my eyeballs.

[maai]

Men's Casio G-Shock watch (practical)

Men's Gold/Diamond wedding band (only thing I have that is remotely flashy)

[GOD]

Actually this touches on a favourite hobby of mine...

To own and wear as many fake goods at once as possible... its far more fun than the real thing.

Once I went through Thailand, and managed to virtually completely clothe myself in completely fake designer gear... talk about funny... I even had the fake Rolex.... lol lol...

Its cool... you guys should try it... so funny.

[chocky]

Never.

I consider most such adornment to be bands of slavery. Wedding rings and watches especially.

And I'm irredeemably not beautiful, jewelry on me is like gilding a toaster.

[wolf]

Absolutely nothing. No watch, no jewelry of any kind, nothing. The cell phone is the flashiest thing I carry, and it stays in my pocket where you can't see it (left front pocket).

I do carry a pocket knife and pen almost all the time (both clipped on my right front pocket), but I don't even have a wallet - I keep money and cards in my front-right pocket clipped together with a small black binder clip that has lost much of the paint, so it's mostly just spring steel with finger oil rubbed into it from handling.

I have never wore jewelry of any kind (rings, necklaces, etc), but I wore watches up until I bought my first car at 17, which had a clock on the radio, at which point the watch became redundant.

[Rei]

Agh, my diamond ring will go in a saftey deposit box.
I will only wear a simple wedding band, maybe a small diamond inset.

With my immensely godly level of grace, anything bulgy will probably kill it, me, or someone else.

I like OBM's idea of a wedding sword...
You can even make up a whole new wedding ritual for it :thumbsup:

[wolf]

I couldn't see wearing a ring, personally, but when I thought about it, I would prefer a very low-profile one that was slightly rounded, lightweight, and didn't have any weird stuff like rocks embedded in it. Titanium with a platinum inlay that is smooth with the titanium in an infinite wrapped "twist" that crosses 7 times around the outside of the ring would appeal to me.

You lost me at "with the titanium in an infinite wrapped "twist""

For me, any rock or whatever would just be there if the owner of the other ring really wanted it. Personally, just titanium/black gold with a non-shiny (matte?) finish is good. Something witty engraved inside would be a bonus :thumbsup:

[Jezebel]

Nothing.

I used to wear a watch at all times. Last time my battery died, I didn't bother getting a replacement. That was years ago and I got used to not wearing one. I have nothing against other jewelry and even think it looks interesting sometimes. I just don't care enough to adorn myself most days so seeing anything on me is rare.

That's probably why I don't take things(jewellery) off. I'll forget to put it back on and stop wearing it until the next special occasion makes me remember they exist.

A binder clip? That actually sounds like an excellent idea. The only problem would be keys, and even then you could just hook your keyring to the clip loops. Brilliant! :thumbsup:

I also considered the witty or sentimental engraving possibility.

Basically, inlaid in such a way that there is no edge, so it is smooth. The twist being made up of seven identical s-shaped inlays that run around the ring resulting in an apparent twisting of one line together with itself. Rotating the ring and following it, it would have no beginning or end.

It is, isn't it? I keep keys on a ring that I place in my back pocket.

Money clips are too bulky and provide no way to open them efficiently, while binder clips are small, sturdy, and have flat-folding built-in levers to assist in opening and closing the clip. Some items have just hit a technological pinnacle, and binder clips are among those items. You just cannot improve upon or exceed the efficiency, re-usability, and practicality of a standard binder clip.

[Ian]

Wedding band - narrow, white gold and plain.

Watch - Plain faced Rotary.

I only wear a watch for work when I need to be at a meeting for a certain time; I am never late. During holidays, I never wear a watch - things happen when they happen. Time is something you keep for other people.

[chocky]

Time is something you keep for other people.

This is one of those simply rare statements that deserve to be tattooed on the back of one's hand.

It's perfect. Beautiful. Enough to humble me that people can be larger, and their sense of relationship to one another more profound, than I can imagine.

For the moment I'm a misanthropic dwarf with eight beautiful words burning in my chest.

Tomorrow I'll try hard to be a better than today.

Thank you.

Well I was thinking witty and sentimental. Now THAT's something worth engraving.

While it is a nice statement, I must disagree. I always have many plans for my day, no matter what day it is. If I don't keep the time, I won't get everything done. Say, if I had nothing to do that was of any importance then sure... Screw the passing time... Though the T in me is screaming at me for wasting my time :-/

It's late and maybe my neurons are fried, but aren't we saying the same thing? Your day relies on a predetermined schedule, and if any person doesn't keep their agreement of time with you, or you with theirs, then the day is 'lost'. Your energy, your plans, a whole cascade of inefficiency, discomfort, ungainly catch-up and stress...

Keeping time for someone is ultimately respectful of your plans and theirs. Enhanced wellbeing and no waste ;)

Hrm... let me clarify.
I didn't mean that I don't keep time for other people. *I meant that I keep time not only for other people, but myself as well.
I hope that made more sense. *:thinking:

[Ian]

The difference is made between work time - when someone else is buying my life, I am compelled to be punctual; and on holiday time, when I just do what needs to be done, then do what I want to do; there are no rules, there are no pre-arranged commitments - we just go twith the flow.

Life is much more flexible when you don't have to rely on other people to be at the same place at the same time.

I beleive that time (as in the context of space-time defined and used in physics) does not exist. What we normally refer to as 'time' is merely a framework for 'recollection' i.e. what has happened and 'planning' - what has yet to be done.

For me the statement that "time is something you keep for other people" is a fundamental truth.

[Tarrick]

Hmm, accessories...

Does a pendrive on a lanyard count?

[OneBadMother]

I tried it out today. Pretty good, though doesn't quite work as well with cards on the sides touching the binder clip. The having the keyring seperate from the binder clip did turn out to be a better idea. At least now when I misplace my wallet I won't necessarily misplace my keys along with it, and it's slightly less bulky than my wallet too.

[wolf]

Yes, that's true. I usually keep the paper money wrapped around the cards, then clip it all together. Though I haven't tried it yet, I've considered methods for using a piece of bicycle inner tube to make it more usable with just cards. If you do any further testing on methods, keep me posted.

I try to minimize keys, too. I only have two - car and house.

[OneBadMother]

Hmm, a piece of construction paper or even regular printer paper might work. I can't minimize keys, unfortunately, due to needing many of those keys to get into my school's various geology labs.

[TruorTupnm]

What's wrong with watches? They are useful, to myself. It's my only alarm clock, sometimes a stopwatch is useful, it's my only egg timer, and I usually can't remember the date. oh well. I have one of those and a bracelet that tells people what I'm allergic to. It is very annoying when the bracelet falls off or the watch dies. Assymetry! Ack! I was given a couple of rings (a One Ring was one of them), but I couldn't keep them on. Was always messing with them, sometimes losing them. I used to wear necklaces but had to stop, since my workplace doesn't allow them. I mostly had them for something to fidget with.

[Ijz]

Nothing.

I did try it once or twice but it looks silly, its just not me.

What's wrong with watches? Well its redundant when you got a phone. Besides receiving calls it also does the regular watch stuff such as alarm-clock, timer and stopwatch.

[OneBadMother]

I agree. The cell phone is the pocketwatch of this millennium. :D

[aelan]

Since mine broke, I wear my little sister's super-pink digital watch (it's funny, because I rarely wear pink, but this is the pinkest watch EVER), and occasionally I'll wear a pendant (usually something with some type of crystal) on a black cord.

[TruorTupnm]

I am unaware if my cell phone has all of those capabilities, but I would agree that it would replace a watch. But that would only work if I carried my phone with me. I am not a large fan of being easily located.

[Daniel]

I' ve made a neclase I wear.I designed it with a computer and then cut it with a laser from bronze.It has symbols encrypted in it which represent main thesis of my philsophy how to lead a perfect life - just not to forget (and I always forget).

[Bossy Mom]

Very rarely. A necklace bothers my neck and a bracelet bothers my wrist. I rarely wear a pin, either. The only time I wear a watch is when I have jury duty. Jewelry has never been important to me, even when I was married, I kept my rings in my jewelry box. No scarves or anything else, either.

[Sevs]

I wear the Longines Automatic my parents gave me for my 19th birthday. It's plain ,efficient and most important of all it tells me what time it is :-p

[Nightelf]

A steel Casio watch all time, since it's practical and I like metal things. Sometimes a silver ring with a semi-gemstone. The latter is important to me, but it often catches the eye people, who are 'obsessed' with fashion. So it is safer without it.

[spiritdetectivegirl]

I sleep with these 11 pieces of jewlery: One hoop earring in my left upper ear, and stud earrings in both ears.

And on my wrists, 8 braclets, 4 on each.

[Ytterbium]

No.

[Alpha Prime]

One of the accessories I have, is a meteorite necklace.

[Zilal]

I always have on a wooden whale's tail on a leather thong around my neck.

A meteorite necklace would be cool.

[Colette]

Lots of silver jewelry is my style - multiple rings, and silver pendants and 'clasp' style bands around the neck.

Seldom wear anything except silver (as I'm allergic to all metals except silver and gold), but occasionally I wear beads for a few hours.

[muguly]

A watch, everyday. Even when I'm in the house I have a watch on.

[dandylion]

Nope, I don't see the point in wearing jewelry and accessories. Unless purses count as an accessory, then I do, but that's kind of a necessity because I need something to carry my stuff when I go out.

[Cuivienen]

my watch, whenever I leave the house, and I like silver earrings.

[AgentofGaming]

Nope, wearing accessories is like binding.
As a cultural thing I used to wear Jade shape around my neck when I was young. That was so annoying when trying to take a shower.

I do however like my digital watches, they bind me to do work.

[Uytuun]

No, not normally. I have my DKNY watch, but that's all I wear on a regular basis. I just kind of forget about all the stuff I have unless there's a special event.

I don't wear yellow gold, I don't wear rings and my ears are not pierced.

Maybe I should get that face-plate from my avatar, though. :p

[Pinkie]

I have a small gold cross on a chain around my neck and a small silver rosary bracelet (which make me sound terrifically pious; I'm actually not, I just think they're pretty) which I pretty much never take off, and then I have assorted rings but I hardly wear them. I almost never wear earrings, even though my ears are pierced twice.

[BadMojo]

I don't use jewellery of any kind. I don't wear a watch.
It's basicly because jewellery bugs me to death.
