Depends on the clothes and the occasion.


Lately, I've noticed that I wear silver in the daytime and gold at night. Garnet is my birthstone so that is the usual gem of choice.

The only thing I wear once in a while are earrings. Usually gold or silver hoops. But not very often.

I only wear earrings, 'sleepers' that are gold but I prefer silver earrings.

Silver. I have several silver rings that I wear all of the time.
Very rarely I'll wear a necklace or bracelet that I've made. No earrings - my ears aren't pierced!


I also have an older timex watch that I wear all of the time - it's amazing that the thing still works with how much abuse it has been through.

I only wear one pair of white gold oval hoops that DH got for me before we were married, a white gold ring with my birthstone on my right ring finger, and my yellow gold engagement and wedding band on my left ring finger.

For years in my teens and twenties, I wore fashion style jewellery.

Then when I went to nursing school in 1994 we weren't allowed to wear any. So I got out of the habit. I didn't even wear earrings.

Last year in June I repierced my ears and have been wearing the sensitive ear studs and sleepers. On occasion I wear nickle free silver or ones with surgical stainless steel posts. I also wear the white gold ring I bought in November, but not everyday.

I don't wear necklaces because I can't stand anything hanging around my neck. And I don't wear a wrist watch because I'm right handed and have to wear my watch on the right hand. Not only do they get beat up but I find it gets in the way of when I'm writing. So no watches or even bracelets.

Just earrings and a ring. For work I wear my lapel watch. But outside of work I use a watch charm that hangs on my purse to keep track of time.

I don't wear jewelry that often, largely because I have fairly long fingernails and it's hard to handle those clasps. I used to wear earrings, but the holes grew shut and I haven't bothered to make new ones. Although my GF and I are thinking about it; she's been after me to have my ears pierced again.

DH gave me a beautiful Seiko watch years and years ago and I wear that constantly. That's gold.

Until about 5 or 6 years ago, I only wore gold. I have just oodles of it languishing in my jewelry boxes. Now I wear sterling silver, and I have oodles of it too. I love jewelry, and buy a lot of it. My father is a registered gemologist, and cuts colored gemstones. He also sets them in gold or silver, so many of my pieces are from him. I have lots of rings, but I rarely wear them because I have to remove all jewelry from my hands/wrists when I scrub for surgery. Right now I'm on a Panda/Trollbead bracelet roll. I finished one a year or two ago, but now I'm working on two others. Oh yeah, I LOVE jewelry!!!

I wear silver or white gold.
Not a fan of yellow gold at all. I make my own fashion jewellery, so I'm always wearing fun earrings especially. I also always wear my "I love you" ring that Dana gave me, a beautiful little white gold ring with a small diamond.

I always wear my rings, which are gold. With some necklines I wear one or two plain gold chains. Very occasionally I wear earrings, usually plain gold hoops, but the holes are getting tighter and tighter so unless I have time to fiddle with them, it doesn't happen.

I wear silver or white gold because it suits my skin tone better than gold. Funny thing I've always been told by my mom that it's very tacky to wear for example gold earrings and a silver or white gold ring- mixing the metals, she says they have to match..
does anyone else go by that rule??

99% of my jewelry is silver. I always wear earrings and my wedding rings. Will wear a necklace sometimes. I used to always wear a watch but have had some bad luck lately with faulty watches or breaking them.
I like watches that are more bracelet/cuff style.

I wear a yellow gold necklace that I got for my 16th birthday from my (now) husband. I never take it off. Everything else I wear is white gold or silver. My engagement ring and wedding ring are white gold. My watch and all of my earrings are silver.

Most of my jewelry is set in gold. I like to wear silver when I wear black. I did buy myself two new dresses recently. I found one of those fashion necklace and earrings to match sets at Pennys that matches both dresses. I bought that for myself. The necklace is the type with several strings of beads. When I take it off I have to fasten it and hang it to keep it from being tangled. But I like it for a change and got lots of compliments at church yesterday.
