What's your jewelry style?
Q.What style of jewelry does everyone like? I seem to be drawn to necklaces and earrings that are heart shaped. I do own a few cross necklaces. And I love chiming harmony ball necklaces. But, I am mostly a heart person. Yesterday was my birthday and I got two new heart necklaces. My husband gave me a beautiful diamond heart necklace. He said that when he saw it, he knew it was "me." What style does everyone else like?
A.Earrings mostly, and a Timex basic black digital watch with a thin red line around the bezel. I need the digital watch for travel, but a small one to fit my small wrists; I am now on the third one, which I ordered directly from Timex's WWW site. And I like pins, provided they are amusing, but they seem less in fashion at the moment. No bracelets, necklaces, nor rings, not even a wedding ring. I live in a cold climate where necklaces and bracelets are a nuisance under coats and jackets. Rings just drive me nuts and, somehow, I have always felt that they look best with polished/varnished finger nails, something I don't do. I sold all my gold jewelry because I found it didn't suit me, and now stick to silver-colored. The nuisance of polishing silver results in me wearing costume jewelry mostly; my favorite brand is Anne Klein. For a long time I was into stars and starfishes. More recently it has been a few hearts. I avoid designs that can have even remotely any religious significance. Earrings can be a variety of shapes and sizes up to a maximum of 2 inches long. I look best in modern-looking designs that are sort of solid looking, even when small. I am tall and angular so anything too delicate gets lost on me.
