<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10004221, member: 79705&quot;]I wear jewelry everyday. Even if I&#039;m not leaving home. I like the little glint when I catch myself in the mirror.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a small amount of antique gold jewelry and a larger cameo collection. I wear everything that can be worn (some unset or damaged frame cameos can&#039;t be) at various times. Brooches go on jackets, coats and sweaters with a rubber earring back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go out with my husband every weekend and wear a whole compliment of rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets. We go downtown or to the woods. I never worry about crime and I don&#039;t worry about loss on smaller pieces that I know to be quite sturdy. I get all my pieces looked over by my jeweler. If I lose a stone, I know he can replace it for me. I&#039;ve had him replace ones the were missing from before my purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>I save bigger flamboyant pieces and big, more delicate expensive cameos for when we go to lectures, gallery openings, events, or I know I&#039;m spending the day doing something fairly calm.</p><p><br /></p><p>I visited with some of my co-workers yesterday and another antique enthusiast was wearing a very large gold and many turquoise stone 19th c bracelet. She said she wears her antique jewelry often as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should wear your jewelry and enjoy it. That&#039;s what it&#039;s for. For the pieces I&#039;m not wearing, I keep my cameos in glass topped boxes so I can see them all, and my antique pieces in a jewelry box that displays everything when I open them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
