I got a lot of bling for Christmas and throughout this year. I wore it all through the holidays, but I couldn't help but wonder if it was too much bling to be wearing all the time! So, this is what I've got on:

First of all, I'm 5'5", 120 lbs, and 41. Everyday I wear my diamond studs (.75TTW), 1.5 ct princess cut diamond ring (in a simple setting with tiny little diamonds on the shank), diamond padlock pendant (the diamond part is only about 8mmx8mm), and a mini Gucci G watch with diamond face and bezel (about 12mmx12mm face). The last 2 I got for Christmas. Everything is pretty small, so I was thinking I could get away with it, but to have diamonds everywhere just seems too much. What do you all think?

Too much bling? Are you nuts! Never! Wear those beautful baubles with pride!

Prosperity · Jan 8th, 2009, 02:34 PM

In my opinion this is not too much bling!
When I see people that wear more than one diamond necklace and several huge diamond rings, I think it is a bit too much. But what you are describing sounds perfect

Too Much Bling? No such thing! unless you have a $500,000 medallion hanging from your neck, a $150,000 bracelet and a $250,000 three finger ring I think your fine. I love to wear my studs, pendant, and ring all at the same time. In fact you brought it to my attention that I need a diamond watch now, Thanks.

Thanks Ladies! I knew you'd have great advice!

I think if you like it all, wear it all!

I wear huge jewelry all the time. I mean HUGE. It makes me happy. So be it.

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jan 8th, 2009, 05:38 PM

I wear a little more on a daily basis, so I say no!

mjlover1977 · Jan 8th, 2009, 05:53 PM

Cates · Jan 8th, 2009, 07:11 PM

Not at all--all of your pieces sound classic and well put together.

mistikat · Jan 8th, 2009, 07:23 PM

Love it - it sounds proportional and elegant. I say keep wearing it!

Kitsunegrl · Jan 8th, 2009, 07:30 PM

Wear what you like! The great thing about jewelry is you can add, take away, and do something different every day!

tosh · Jan 8th, 2009, 08:24 PM

It sounds perfect to me!

i don't think it's too much bling at all - nothing is excessive or ultra flashy :)
