Subject: Re: Halloween & bijoux
I seldom wear jewelry (except perhaps small gold earrings and necklace) because it's not often appropriate in my social circles.

Part of the pleasure of wearing jewelry is the joy of handling a sparkly, beautiful object. If that was all there was to it, Jeff, you would be draped in embroidery, lace and gems like King Louis XIV. It's too bad that you live in Puritan- and hippie-influenced 21st century America and not 17th century France. LOL!

But that's not all there is to it, of course. Like all personal styling, jewelry makes a social statement. Wearing fancy jewelry in a middle-class, low-key setting would be inappropriate in many locations and social situations... if one is trying to blend in rather than make an ostentatious statement.
