Not.
I don’t get the appeal or the exorbitant pricing of it? Does anyone really buy it as an investment? It seems like most jewelry pieces, like cars, start losing value as soon as you buy them. I can see how it was a thing in the middle ages, but why is it still a part of so many human rituals?
Do you wear jewelery? I find most of it uncomfortable.
Please share your opinions and thoughts on why humans are still into jewelry…
Jewelry is a way to adorn the body with gold, silver, jewels, etc. It was something reserved for royalty, but now is accessible to peasants and rich alike.
I will take someone adorning their body with Jewelry over tattoos any day of the week.
Women look good with a nice necklace and pendant. Earrings depend on their ears and the style they choose. Bangles and bracelets are a nice touch. Rings not so much, except wedding and engagement rings.
Men should wear more necklaces, rings, fancy watches, etc. It's a way to show personality and tastes. Everything in moderation.
I once met a guy who had a lot of gold on him and he said "I gotta be careful walking down the street, I have like 10k worth of gold on me." I said "why do you wear so much?" He said "I like the feeling though, knowing I have that much value on me."
I guess that's the same as royalty, they used to get a buzz out of it.
Some men get that buzz with a fancy watch, one that costs them tens of thousands. Personally I don't think watches need to be too expensive to make a statement. Plenty of nice watches under $1000.
The only expensive watch brand I would buy is Rolex because they can hold their value and even appreciate. Not by much, some say the pay off can't even compare to money in the bank, but it would be cool to own a watch and sell it at a higher price.
I've done this. I had a Seiko I bought on clearance and sold it a few years later for over $100 more than I paid. That's the best way to own watches.
