What do you typically wear in the way of jewellery?
I pretty much always wear my watch (silver Armani – swanky!:D ), one silver ring and earrings usually earrings that can stay in for a while – I often forget about them).
Sometimes I add a bracelet or two (I have a bit of a collection), very occasionally a necklace. I do have other rings, I jut don’t often wear them.
I never wear gold - only silver, and typically I'm drawn to stones like turquoise and lapis lazuli.
How about you?

I tend to use jewelry as my source of color in my outfits. I am a pretty plain dresser, wearing a lot of black, but bring in color with jewelry and scarves.
I have the one ring I wear constantly, my wedding ring, which is a cornflower blue, oval cut 4c saphire with white saphire trillions set in an antique white gold setting.
On my other hand, I am currently wearing a oval cut green zircon set in rose gold - it's simple estate piece from the early 50's. If I don't wear that, I wear my marquis cut ruby surrounded by diamond baquettes and rounds set in gold. (I have gold personality disorder!)
What else I typically wear are one of the pair of earrings I pick up in Paris. I'm up to 9 different pair. These are all sparkley, high-quality rhinestones in various colors and lengths. I just choose the one that works with my outfit or - more often - the scarf I am wearing.
Watches are from my small collection of Disney watches. I have about 7 or 8 to choose from, or, if I want to be swanky, I wear my silver, marcasite Boma watch.
Necklaces and bracelets come and go. I just recieved 2 absolutely lovely bracelets for Christmas that work wonderfully with my favorite earrings. I've been wearing them a lot - when I actually get dressed in real clothes.

Left hand, wedding rings- rubies and diamonds.
Right hand, one rainbow ring, and one amber ring.
Earrings? Hm.... I'd like to wear them but I tend to forget. I don't forget to take them out, however, because the pain of my body reacting to the metal is a reminder.
Necklace- one silver Isis pendant, always worn. Never comes off, really. Sometimes I'll add another one, I have a few of the chunky tiny stone ones, I have several goddess pendants, and other odd pieces.
I wear a seriously cheap-looking rainbow bracelet on my right hand. I've been wearing it all the time since I lost my hematite one a year or so ago. Sometimes I wear a watch on my left wrist if I remember and if I can find one. I have three or four watches but I can't always find them. One is my dad's watch, which I got when he died. One is a cheap watch that I didn't mind wearing to work. One is a watch my mom bought me for a birthday. One is a Goofy watch that hubby and I ganked from a girlfriend and bought her a new one to replace it. It was done very teasingly - if she had truly objected of course we would not have done it. I take them off either before bed or to wash dishes or something and lose them. So usually I have to look at my cellphone to see the time.
My phone and my wallet are what mostly define me and are always in a back pocket unless I happen to wear something which doesn't have pockets. Stupid women's clothes.... <growl>

For for than three years I was wearing only white gold/platnium & sterling silver, usually a white gold/sapphire/diamond ring and sterling silver hoop earrings.
Lately, however, I've been wearing my old gold jewelry, which I have a lot more of. Today I'm wearing a small gold crucifix, a gold ring with two different color aquamarines in it that my maternal grandfather made, and antique .5 carat diamond earrings which belonged to my paternal grandmother.
My watch for the past few months has been a large brown banded watch.

On a regular basis I wear a silver onyx ring I bought from the Grand Canyon and a watch. I either rotate between my Freestyle or Fossil watches and sometimes my maroon thick band watch.
I wear earrings when I think about it and try and add additional rings on the weekend.
I also wear a green Support Our Troops USO bracelet in honor of my friend who is currently in Iraq (and everyone else who is serving)

I have a "thing" for sapphires. My first wedding ring (it was stolen) was a diamond solitare with a pretty, simple sapphire wrap. It looked like a flower. The replacement is a channel band with diamonds, I had 1/2 the diamonds replaced with sapphires.
My earrings are also sapphires, I have a few different pairs that I rotate. I also really like earpins. I have a pair of sapphire and diamond, pearl and nice cz. I also have a variety of Mickey Icon crystal studs.
I have a few necklaces that I wear, but tend to keep it simple.
I have a heap of costume jewelry from my retail days, but don't wear any of it.

I'm all about the cheap jewelry. I love Clairs & a place called Bliss. Everything silver, glittery or matching my outfit. I've had obsession lately for Hoop earrings. The bigger the better! I've been told I accessories well!

On my left hand, I have this incredible 1.5 carat 3 stone ring in a flat white gold band....it's amazing. My husband picked it out and bought it on his OWN. I just told him I wanted a 3 stone ring. It's really the most beautiful ring! I've had it for a year and I loooove it.
One my right hand, I've worn an assortment of silver jewelry.....and we've ordered a flat white gold band to "match" the three stone....and everyday I wonder if I'll really take this ring off the left hand and put it on my right. Don't wanna. But I DO want that wedding band.....I love the simplicity of a flat band. I might just say the hell with it and wear the wedding band on my right hand.
My watch is an antiquey silver with etchings on the band. I love it.
I wear silver hoops most days.....right now I'm wearing dangly green squareish stones that my sis gave me for Christmas.
My necklaces change often. My sister is a gifted beader, plus I buy a lot of silver wires and silver pendants. Something Silver is my favorite store! Plus we have another similar store called Silverado that I'm often found shopping at......:D I love silver.
My jewelry is always understated and plainish.....functional. Since I often forget to take stuff off at night, it's all hardy, withstands showers, etc.

Mine's pretty much the same everyday...a mix of gold and silver.
My watch is gold, Gucci. Love it! I've had it for 7 years and it's worked perfect everyday...Except for the time when Kat knocked over something on the bathroom counter and shattered the face! :(
Wedding ring with is a cluster of a solitare, mini diamonds and baguettes on gold bands. On the right hand, a solid gold band with scroll work in it...It was my mother's wedding band.
And my James Avery charm bracelet. I LOVE James Avery jewelry. They are in based in Texas and do lots of sterling silver, very plain pieces, lots of charms and some wonderful Christian jewlery. http://www.jamesavery.com/
I'm sad there's not one here in Arizona...only in Texas! Whaa!
But my charm bracelet is my pride and joy...I have charms for special occasions...anytime we take a trip, I buy a silver charm to remember it...the children love to buy me charms for special days...and it's a great gift for John to get me...he always knows the right thing to get!
Earrings are ususally silver hoops and I'll wear a different beaded necklace from time to time.

Left hand - wedding band (white and yellow gold). Right hand, blue topaz ring, oval cut, horizontal setting, white gold setting/yellow gold band. It's kind of an art deco styling and about the prettiest ring I've ever seen. Gold/silver tone Disney bracelet watch (Mouse ears at the 12.) Usually my channel-set diamond pendant (4X4 small diamonds set in a square turned on its corner, white gold) or my blue topaz pendant. White gold hoops or blue topaz drops. Sometimes a pearl necklace with pearls suspended on white gold wires. With pearl drops. My wedding jewelry.
