Bitesize chunks about jewelry
Quotes are easily quoted out of context. We usually get to see them without the whole story around them and this makes it incredibly *dangerous* to just use them in any way, but they are also these deliciously bite size, easy to read, chunks of text that immediately causes some sort of reaction. Quotes do that.
Quotes on jewelry as an insight
And sometimes you get a little idea about the character or core beliefs of a person. What Donatella Versace said, made me investigate a little more about her quotes and I found her to be far more down to earth and open than I would have guessed.
Status symbol, do they matter?
My own idea is that there are many ways to look at jewelry. I personally don’t obsess about status, I am simply not interested myself in that part of the human desire to show off in some way. Having said that, one must always admit that we all love to be acknowledged or seen as special somehow. Even if we brush off any suspicion about our little ego trip and our longing for the admiration of peers and others, we all...yes, me too...have that little streak inside us of wanting to be seen. Seen in a very positive way. Status symbols such as material goods and jewelry can be appealing for that reason too for a lot of people.
But it’s not what makes me tick personally. My own quote on jewelry has always been this:
‘’A piece of jewelry is often a piece of art. But it only becomes valuable when emotions are added to it’’

Jewelry is about memories, emotions, messages and so much more
Whatever you wear, a piece of jewelry, fake or real, expensive or not so much, can really finish your look and the way you feel about yourself when going into the world. A piece of jewelry is often also that tangible preciousness that reminds us of who and what matters to us. Memories, messages. Just touching and twisting that bracelet that your friend gave you when you were so down, can be comforting. One can look at the ring, once worn by their grandmother, so full of significance. The piece might not be valuable or even be very pretty. Yet, their value for you is priceless.

I liked Sloan Crosley's quote best, cause it resonates with me. My grandma put the love of jewelry in my heart.
I always have at least 3 pieces of jewelry on me; On my ankle, on my waist and on my wrist... always beads, always the same honey gold color, (with just one off color, and usually darker), and never less than 2 strands. So I guess that doubles as 6. Never less than 6 at a time. Ever!
