Naw, I used to be back in the day. I just kinda grew outta it. MY friends are all into bling bling. I;m more down to earth tho. my car on the other hand :p I <3 rims B)
I'm into Pop... dirty pop. It doesn't matter about the car I drive or the ice around my neck.
I'm not, not really. The odd bracelet now and then, a necklace... seldom. I don't like gold much; silver's so much nicer.
I guess I like tin-foil!
I have 8 cubes, but why do you want to know? :confused: (tray only holds eight)
I only wear silver, but gold suits a lot of people. I do prefer silver though.Quote:

Depends. Hate diamonds as they in fact are "not forever". Gold and platinum are better...
O_o... you can't afford anything fancy, yet you have managed to purchase a ring with both diamonds AND sapphires set in it?! That's ought to be really, really expensive, if the stones are genuine.Quote:

I have a small necklace, entirely silver, very thin and with a David's Star hanging by the end of it. That's the only 'jewel' I've got. Not worth much, monetarily, but emtionally it does. The chain itself is my grandmother, and the Star is from the last standing synagogue in Krakov, Poland. I bought it for 13 Zelotti. :)
I have a fancy watch, though.. that's a man's wristband, I guess.
I have watches and such, I used to have a chain with a cross on it but I lost it. However I have chrome 18's on my car :cool:
I "have" my great grandmother's wedding set, but I never wear them. They're in my jewelry box at home. I also have a pair of earrings from another great grandma, and an aquamarine ring. These are also things I never wear.
No not really.
I have a pair of earings I got when I was born and a matching necklace..thats about it :D
I love jewelery. I wear 2 rings all the time. One is from my ex-boyfriend which he bought for my birthday, it's white gold and has a few gems in it. The other one is a silver 3 row ring that my parents bought for me with a few gems in it. I also have 2 necklaces that I alternate between each day. One is a thick silver chain which is designed for men, but I love it. The other is a thin silver chain with a pendant flower with diamonds in it. :)
Other than that most of my jewelery are for peircings, such as earrings, nose studs and navel bars. I have the odd bracelet too, but I barely ever wear them.
It depends.
I have a lot of Tibetan jewelery. Mostly silvers with amber, jade, coral, aquamarine and pearl. Nothing over the top, I'm ver conservative in my jewelery and preffer something that's regal.
I have a dislike for chunky rings that take up half your hand, or people who wear 30 bracelettes at once and the same can be said about huge hoop earings and necklaces.
Also, jewelery isn't something worn every day.
I never wear jewellery. :D

>>> Diamonds are forever is the nature boy!
Are we joking with the 'bling' stuff? Am I an idiot for even asking? :(
Well, jewellery is the candy of Satan (he has a mighty strange kitchen). All... evil and shiny!
Really, if you want to be horifically cynical, it represents bad junk, doesn't it. Not plain jewellery, but all the crap people drag along with it (so it's not actually the jewellery, that's just one thing people have used to be giant great turds). Like bling. You're not worth much if you can't afford shiny things to string around your neck.
All the same, I look damn good in shiny things!
Candy of Satan?
Bit of an overstatement dontcha think?
The only piece of jewelry I wear are my cuffs of love that my best friends gave me, and that's just a simple bracelet made out of thread and metal cuffs.
I try to keep mine on, but whenever I go out people stare and I fall flat on my face. >_>
Ooh! Cufflinks, crevat and me dandy fine spats! :monocle: All you need to... hit a night on the town?
Never been into bling-bling and doubt I ever will be.
What the hell are you talking about man? I'm talking about these:Quote:

I wear my $40 Timex all the time. Oh yeah.
I wear 3 silver chains, a dog-tag, 2 rings, and 4 shiny watches.
I have moral issues with the diamond industry. I got an antique engagement ring so as to avoid to avoid supporting the diamond trade, at least to some extent. I would've gotten white sapphires if I'd heard of them before hand though.
Other than my engagement ring, I don't generally wear jewlery. Just not into it.
There's sucha thing as white sapphires?
Yup.

Look just like diamonds to me. There's also mossanite, which is a good diamond alternative, but I like sapphires better.
Silver necklace with a sapphire in it.
gold earings.
and a plain gold ring.
My class ring is all I wear. White gold with Blue Spinel stone.
I'm not into gold. I'm a silver girl. I have silver large heart earrings, small silver studs in my second set of holes in my ears, a silver heart necklace, and a leather and sterling silver choker necklace that I pretty much wear everyday. I'll attach the jewlelry. Also, leather wrapped into silver is very coo.
I have alot of jewelry that has been given to me over the years. I never wear most of it, but I still think its pretty. The only jewelry I wear on a regular basis is my watch (Fossil) and my diamond engagement ring and wedding ring. They're both white gold. When I do wear other jewelry, its white gold or silver...
I be blingin, yeah.
No "bling bling". I have three rings worn around my neck on string for personal reasons.
I need a huge ring so when I punch people I leave my mark.
I agree. All that matters is that you recognize that it's just about respect.Quote:

Ten Reasons You Should Never Buy a Diamondon topic, I don't really have any desire to acquire flashy material goods. Guess that's just me and my pinko socialist leanings for you.Quote:
1. You've Been Psychologically Conditioned To Want a Diamond
The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W.Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W.Ayer to create a demand for what are, essentially, useless hunks of rock.
2. Diamonds are Priced Well Above Their Value
The De Beers cartel has systematically held diamond prices at levels far greater than their abundance would generate under anything even remotely resembling perfect competition. All diamonds not already under its control are bought by the cartel, and then the De Beers cartel carefully managed world diamond supply in order to keep prices steadily high.
3. Diamonds Have No Resale or Investment Value
Any diamond that you buy or receive will indeed be yours forever: De Beers’ advertising deliberately brain-washed women not to sell; the steady price is a tool to prevent speculation in diamonds; and no dealer will buy a diamond from you. You can only sell it at a diamond purchasing center or a pawn shop where you will receive a tiny fraction of its original "value."
4. Diamond Miners are Disproportionately Exposed to HIV/AIDS
Many diamond mining camps enforce all-male, no-family rules. Men contract HIV/AIDS from camp sex-workers, while women married to miners have no access to employment, no income outside of their husbands and no bargaining power for negotiating safe sex, and thus are at extremely high risk of contracting HIV.
5. Open-Pit Diamond Mines Pose Environmental Threats
Diamond mines are open pits where salts, heavy minerals, organisms, oil, and chemicals from mining equipment freely leach into ground-water, endangering people in nearby mining camps and villages, as well as downstream plants and animals.
6. Diamond Mine-Owners Violate Indigenous People's Rights
Diamond mines in Australia, Canada, India and many countries in Africa are situated on lands traditionally associated with indigenous peoples. Many of these communities have been displaced, while others remain, often at great cost to their health, livelihoods and traditional cultures.
7. Slave Laborers Cut and Polish Diamonds
More than one-half of the world's diamonds are processed in India where many of the cutters and polishers are bonded child laborers. Bonded children work to pay off the debts of their relatives, often unsuccessfully. When they reach adulthood their debt is passed on to their younger siblings or to their own children.
8. Conflict Diamonds Fund Civil Wars in Africa
There is no reliable way to insure that your diamond was not mined or stolen by government or rebel military forces in order to finance civil conflict. Conflict diamonds are traded either for guns or for cash to pay and feed soldiers.
9. Diamond Wars are Fought Using Child Warriors
Many diamond producing governments and rebel forces use children as soldiers, laborers in military camps, and sex slaves. Child soldiers are given drugs to overcome their fear and reluctance to participate in atrocities.
10. Small Arms Trade is Intimately Related to Diamond Smuggling
Illicit diamonds inflame the clandestine trade of small arms. There are 500 million small arms in the world today which are used to kill 500,000 people annually, the vast majority of whom are non-combatants.
Am I the only girl who has never really been attracted to diamonds? I don't dislike them for moral reasons or anything like that, I just don't see why they're so special. At least sapphires and rubies have pretty colors. Diamonds are just shiny, that's it.
Yeah you'd have to be either really ignorant or just a huge jerk to buy diamonds these days, and that gaudy crap is an eyesore anyhow.
The above article is why I was careful when picking my engagement ring. I like diamonds for their molcular composition, rather than because "a diamond is forever."
Or DeBeer's new campaign for anniversary rings: "This time say... 'I forever do.'" I laughed my ass off the first time I saw that because I thought it was a satire. But it wasn't. Then I laughed and was outraged at the same time. xD
EDIT:Nah. A lot of the other girls on the wedding LJ communities have non-diamond rings. They're really pretty. I considered a peridot ring because they're pretty too, but I wanted something clear.Quote:

I dunno... can't you "diamond enforce" things? Like tools and stuff? You can't "laser enforce" anything. xD
Ah yeah, that's a fair enough point. I guess they still have uses in industry.
The only jewelry I wear all the time is my dogtags. That includes when I sleep or in the shower. Other than that I sometimes wear a cheapo couple dollar moodring here or there.
I don't wear or own anything like that! Not a thing!
Not necessarily, it depends on how many stones there are, how large the stones are, an the quality of the stones. I love crystals an jewelry. But I don't cover myself in the stuff in a tacky way.Quote:

I have a ring with the letter "T" on it. Other than that, I just have this family heirloom chain.
Silver Duh, its better then diamonds,looks better then gold, and sparkels in the sun
No
and I don't get why girls B*tch so much 'bout it. It's just some piece of rock.
I love jewelry and wear it everyday. Mostly gold, but I've gotten more into silver as well. A lot of costume stuff as well, but nothing gaudy. I do have some real diamonds, but also a lot of cubic zirconia.
Its shiny dur.:p XDQuote:
