I used to ogle the rings this guy makes, I love stuff like this :

I used to like resin bangle bracelets with stuff from nature embedded in them like feathers, grass, so on and so forth ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/Beadevolution?section_id=7343971 ); ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/79751324/birch-bark-eco-resin-bangle-round ); or thick wooden bangles ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/70779154/cuff-bracelet-dark-wood-bangle-size-x ) ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/80064785/exquisite-handmade-organic-horn-bracelet ); bangles with Japanese art prints on them ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/78744153/japanese-bangle-bracelet-in-washi ); porcelain bangles ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/MaaPstudio?section_id=7030595 ); ( http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.242598484.jpg ). Now I'm kind of eyeballing Bakelite ones, stuff like this : ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/80941595/green-yellow-marbleized-swirled-bakelite ) ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/80144369/bakelite-bangle-vintage-red-swirled ) ( http://www.etsy.com/listing/73076386/vintage-bakelite-bangle-bracelet-marbled ).

I only wear silver and/or feathers. Beads very very rarely. It doesn't hurt to mention that i have horrible metal allergies even if i cover them with clear nail polish, it's just better for me to not wear anything that's cheap metal.

I wear rings so regularly that I don't even feel like i should count them. They're definitely my favourite piece of jewelry, other then earrings. I wear just a simple cut piece of smooth turquoise and I have a ring that's got king of like a wave coming up one side, and a wave or a wind swirl from the other side. I figure it's perfect for an Aqua/Pisces. Earrings are either leaf earrings or feathers or swirl earrings where the swirl goes through my ears.

now i stripped myself of all the baubles and only wear a silver thick band from my mother, and occasionally a strand of pearls. how classy of me!

Even though I have lots of necklaces and some bracelets I love earrings and I wear them all of the time. My staples are thin, medium sized hoops in either silver or gold. I keep them out, I don’t even bother putting them in a box because they are my go-to, everyday earrings.

As for earrings, besides the hoops, I love pearls. I have a pearl stud in every color you can think of, I have some pearl clusters and even a pair of pearl hoops! This is my favorite pair of cluster earrings:

These are a little different though, mine have amethyst and peridot in place of the peacock pearls. I should buy these though too! The designer is awesome, Erica Zap, I like most of her pearl stuff, the simple pieces. The clusters are a little heavy so I have to wear those dots behind my ear!

I think my “I feel naked if I am not wearing it” thing is a nice watch. I used to only wear Fossil, and I have six, but I have expanded my watch collection to include anything! The Fossils are in the metals but the other watches are more colorful, although I do have 1 orange one -

(that I am not crazy about, it’s obviously too loud and “blinged out” for me and haven’t even worn! It was an impulse purchase!). I don’t wear bracelets that often because I am usually wearing a big watch and I don’t want it to clash. My everyday watch is a black, men’s Fossil –

I like the way it slides down my hand, making my wrists seem really small. But my favorite is this one -

I love the brown finish and everyone asks what metal it is (it’s just stainless steel with brown plating). I need to get the battery replaced though, I have been wearing the black one too much!

I like pretty conservative and classic pieces but I like my watches on the sporty side…

For me I usually like wearing earrings & bracelets (white/yellow gold or stainless steel). Not a fan of necklaces or sterling silver jewelry!

I love charm bracelets!

Earring for my helix piercing

Hoops and dangles

Don't like necklaces, but if I had to pick a necklace to wear.. it'd be lockets. I love the look of it! As a matter of fact, I love classic looking jewelry. Maybe it's my Saturn aspects..

We have some similar placements, barring your Venus in Leo - I have the sun and venus in the seventh too and moon in Libra. We have really different tastes in jewelry though! I think that's where you can really see the different Venus signs show up - mine is in Virgo.

Since you brought up watches...I've always loved metal tank watches, ever since my dad used to have one when I was a kid; even though I'm female I always wanted one just like his, and that hasn't changed. I like them really understated, the plainer the better; actually that applies to jewelry in general as well - I hate stuff that's studded with jewels, anything flashy, garish or really ornate.

This is actually my dream watch, if I ever win the lottery it's MINE : http://www.exoticexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cartier-pasha-c-de-cartier-w atch.jpg

I think that is where my love for huge men's watches came from too - my dad was in the military and he always had a big tank watch.

I like them on men but I am noticing a disturbing trend - men who don't wear watches because they have a cell phone. They need to get back to basics...

I love that Cartier watch! Makes stainless steel Fossils look like cheap knock-offs (hehe)...

typically wear a lot of silver, i dont care much for anything else except for rosegold, white gold, copper, and gold just because its so valuable. copper gives me rashes when i wear it as a bracelet for too long.. eh still like it though

i like wearing druzy, raw stones/crystals, or nice cabuchons. ive never really been too crazy over faceted stones, i do have a pink saphire my g-pa cut and gave to me but i dont really go after that type of jewelry, i mainly love rings, i have 2 snake rings that i love! a few druzy rings, i like detailed rings too. when i wear a necklace, its a stone or my crystals that i usually keep close to me.. its not really for looks or anything and its not really fancy. i have crystal point bracelet i wear as well as copper ones, a silver one, moon stones and black jade.

love animal jewelry!

This is what I wear to work everyday.

I like this elegant watch with my formal wear, especially when wearing a tuxedo.
