Rings and things

[njpaddy]

None. No watch, no chains, no rings. 40 years of marriage and the only time I wore my wedding ring was at the ceremony. I don't know why but I have never been able to stand the feeling of any sort of jewelry wrapped around my finger, wrist or neck. It drives me nuts.

I was going to say I wear no jewellery but you all seem to include a watch as jewellery. I see a watch as a tool, not a jewel.

I guess I can agree with this simply because I wear it for the function first and the look second

So guys, what sort of jewelery do you personally wear?

Rings? Necklaces? Bracelets? Lot or a little? All the time or sometimes?

I personally keep it simple. My Grandfathers ring (and his fathers before that) on my right ring finger with two small accent diamonds and a mystic topaz replacing the main diamond that now sits in my fiancees engagement ring. In a year there will be a wedding band on the other hand. Beyond that I don't do much jewelery, and only really wear it when I dress nicely, not everyday.

So gents, do you keep it simple or deck out in the bling?

when I go out-
Wedding band-to remind me of marriage
college ring -to remind me of hard work being rewarded
watch-to remind me of time
Celtic cross-to remind me of both my heritage and my hope of future life eternal and the COST of it

most of the time it is simply the cross
