I wear mine all the time. I'm my own best customer. Somewhere, I read that you should never wear more than 5 pieces of jewelry.  I wear at least that much to bed! I have 4-5 bracelets I never take off and I embellish those with bracelets on my other arm, 3 rings, at least one or two necklaces (maybe 3) and earrings. I even wear earrings if I'm not going anywhere. That makes a grand total of at least 11 pieces of jewelry. I almost always get compliments! Many fashion pics show gobs of jewelry on the models, anyway. How about you? |

I always wear earrings when I go out though, if nothing else. I do too much work in the flower gardens and yard to wear jewelry at home. I only wear my wedding band at home. My engagement ring is put away. It is a large diamond surrounded by tiny diamonds. I have lost so many of the tiny diamonds over the years, I finally quit wearing it. I think it's missing a diamond now. |

I used to wear my own necklaces four or five times a month. I hardly ever do now, and it's because none of the stuff I've made matches the clothes I'm wearing. I keep saying I need to fix that, and then forget about it until the next time I want to wear jewelry.
I do have a number of earrings I had for sale in a shop that closed. Since I'm not selling right now, I pulled some of them out of inventory and have started wearing them. Maybe I will get some orders out of it; if not, I enjoy wearing them anyway.

Yes and no, I usually have at least one piece of my own on. But often wear stuff made by friends or artists I collect from.

Not often enough because the geeky t-shirts don't go too well with most of the things, but I just put on my own loomed Rabbit of Caerbannog cuff |

I joke that I am a walking billboard when it comes to wearing my jewelry! But, I also like to wear jewelry that I've picked up on our travels over the years and jewelry made by other jewelry makers. I have some earrings that date back to high school that I still wear now and then. Always wear earrings except when hanging around the house on weekends. Bracelets are my favorite kind of jewelry to wear, but once long sleeves come out, I put them away until warmer weather arrives. I'll be saying goodbye to the bracelets in the next couple of weeks, I imagine. I like necklaces, but whether or not I wear one depends on the neckline of my clothing. Anklets are another favorite, but those are also summer jewelry. Like Michele, I stopped wearing my wedding ring after losing a diamond and I haven't had time to get it fixed. I usually wear one of my vintage button rings or one of my copper wire rings as a substitute. Dawn |

I cannot wear anything but stud type earrings to work so on the most part I don't. When we go out in the evening the posh (hubby got me) stuff gets an airing but during the day when not working it is my own creations.

Get out there and wear your jewelry, ladies! You were meant to be adorned!

I used to wear a ton of necklaces and bracelets at once, it earned me the nickname "Gypsy" but I've since gone to wearing mostly just 3 rings, one my mom got for me in place of a high school ring, a simple silver twisted ring, and a ring that says "love" that had been my mom and dad's promise ring. I'm luck if I remember to put earrings in my main lower lobe piercings, the secondary lobe piercing typically has a small pearl and my upper cartilage ear piercing has a small pearl as well.
I've worn my spider web cab macrame choker for my dates with the new beau but typically I don't wear necklaces or chokers too often anymore.

Yup, earrings and bracelets and occasionally necklaces. For some reason I rarely wear any other stuff.

I definitely wear my own jewelry. I can't afford to buy this good stuff I make. Not bragging, just saying a pair of earrings I'd make with the sterling silver and natural stones/Swarovski crystal goes for like $40 or so in the store and I'd rather spend that money on jewelry stuff so I can make it or photography stuff instead. You know?
