How much jewelry do you own

Everyday Jewelry — if you need jewelry that you can wear at any time, all day, every day, a simple piece of jewelry like a wedding band, a watch, a simple bracelet, or even a keepsake necklace will do. You also need to keep the number of jewelry you wear to a minimum. For example, if your office is more conservative, you might want to stick to stud earrings complementing your outfit or small hoops—nothing too noisy, bright, or extra sparkly.

But for a creative office environment, you could wear large hoops. And if you are not sure about what to wear to the office, wear fewer pieces as possible, and remember that balance is key. Formal Events —you get to show off your elegance at formal events. Throw in some sparkle and any jewelry that puts emphasis on your best features.

Go all out with stunning diamond or crystal earrings to show off your stunning jawline or cheekbones, or even a statement necklace to draw attention to your face. Party jewelry — Here, you get to make and break jewelry rules. You can mix metals, wear a ring s on any finger, mix gemstones with the faux stones, and you can wear the biggest hoops or go big on layered pieces.

There is no maximum cap to the maximum number of bracelets you can wear on your arm s , but you know that you have too many bracelets on when you feel uncomfortable and not a confident. You get to wear as many or as few bracelets as you like, and you can mix the materials, sizes, and textures, but at the end of the day, you need to feel confident with what you have on. Your outfit plays a big role too.

I just feel over the top when I wear more then my rings watch and a couple of bangles. Contacts give you a whole new view of the world did I say that? I guess it depends as well on your fashion needs. My mom is not a millionaire yet NEEDS to have a matching watch, necklace and pair of earrings for each of her colorful blouses, otherwise she can't be happy. Plus, she's really picky when it comes to color I bought a pink watch as a suprise for her last week and though she liked it, she didn't think it was the same exact pink of her scarf, so had to let it go.

In the end, she either buys cheap jewellery or makes it herself -buys the pieces, then puts them together, and she is quite good at it, actually!! She has a fairly good watch 'the watch' , and then brandless colored watches that might last her one, two seasons or three seasons and that she mainly wears in the summer. Personally, it has to do with the fact that I'm a student with a precarious job lol I think I can get away with it also because I'm young, I'm not sure I would wear them if I had a high position in a company and were a certain age.

I mainly get them at accessory shops where they sell costume jewellery and bags, wallets, maybe scarves For some reason the items sold at fashion stores don't call my attention. I wear less and less jewelry these days, but I do like earrings with some outfits for a night out. Most of my bigger earrings are costume jewelry. The small ones are silver or gold or precious or semi-precious stones, but I can't afford big blingy ones.

I have tons of "fake" jewelry. Mostly earrings because I tend to love my earrings big Also most of my fake jewelry does not look real and I don't care. I don't wear as much fake necklaces or bracelets and the only rings I wear are my wedding ones. But yes I am all about fake earrings. I love them! I guess there will always be a little bit of the ghetto fab in me. I have mostly real sterling silver as I prefer silver to gold, and it's cheaper jewelry because my skin can't handle anything else.

Every once in a while I forget and buy a piece of costume jewelry, but it always comes back to bite me, literally. KL, I understand you here.

I still remember the redness I got from a Disney princesses necklace I had when I was like sis or seven. What a rash! I've been wearing different sets these days and it's all good. Who knows, it might go away! My skin can't handle anything except precious metal. I own a few pieces of costume earrings that I used to wear while going out and but I could never wear a big statement necklace against my skin. I made myself a few necklaces out of big chunky beads to fill the statement necklace hole as I wouldn't feel safe wearing precious metal statement jewelry out in public.

The only 'real' jewelry in my extensive collection is my wedding ring, LOL. I'm nickel sensitive too, but stick with hypoallergenic earrings and non-metal bracelets and necklaces. I have a few costume statement rings, but anything I want to wear multiple days in a row is either nickel-free, stainless steel, sterling, or 18K. If you don't have allergy issues, and the pieces pass your quality filter, then why not go faux?

Many of my necklaces or bracelets are costume jewelry, but almost every pair of earrings is sterling silver, save for maybe 3 pair of trendy sets feather look, striped wood circles,etc. I did have problems with my earlobes years back but it wasn't a metal allergy after all. Anyway, I just buy what I like, but the thing is I really, really like silver and always have. I have an appreciation for all kinds of jewelry. I used to make and sell beaded jewelry so I can appreciate real stones and crystals as much as precious jewelry.

I buy what I like and have a SIL who gifts me quite nice items. I used to collect vintage rhinestone jewelry still have a lot of it and have recently begun to appreciate a few classic "good jewelry" items pearl studs, diamond studs, watches I mix and match.

I have mainly "real" jewelry if it is metal because I am allergic to a lot of the other metals. The brand is Nadri. I only felt OK wearing fakes because of the quality. I think it all depends on how it looks. Costume jewelry is different to fakes though I think. It's not trying to be something real. Stamped with your initials, glittering with diamonds, or shiny and bare, a signet is the perfect ring for your pinkie. No other ring on your hand is necessary—but, of course, welcome. Wearing more than one ring on a finger can take some strategy.

Do they fit snuggly on top of each other? Do they add too much bulk to your digit? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an already stacked multi-ring style that will do all the work for you. Playing with the gold and silver hues in jewelry is fun but so is the blue of a sapphire or the deep red of a garnet. A colored stone accessory is the easiest way to add a bit of dimension to your all-neutral ensemble or bring out the flecks of green in your eyes.

A steel watch is the easiest least costly way into the world of luxury watches—especially for those more aspirational brands. These two options will work for every situation, from a casual coffee to a job interview.
