If you're not discussing unpopular opinions, then you're off topic. BE KIND and please stay on topic 
What's your unpopular jewelry opinion?
- Thread starter Tremere
- Start date
Just dial-up 'pearl trend'. Women any way they don't usually wear them (hair, waist, with chunky multi-chains, odd earrings) and guys wearing chokers (check Harry Styles) and drop-pearl earrings
The northern ‘Pearl ladies’ wear their beautiful strands with casual summer dresses and chambray denim. Young girls look great with little fwpearls chokers all layered up. Golden pearls. Tahitians.
Silver large gauge chains with south sea Pearl pendants.
At the higher end, Paspaley do some amazing pendants. Lavalier is an amazing collection.
We are kind of into all this because the industry is here. Also gold nugget jewellery for the boys, single pearls on leather. lol.
Although to be frank Aussie men are not the vainest or the most sophisticated in the world and as a group they don’t wear a lot of jewellery. Old school Aussie men are lucky to be bothered wearing a wedding ring.
It's a great suggestion but why don't we start a new thread rather than on here, it'll take us OT.
@blacktigergoose, I’ve also seen people string pearls on leather cords or wires. I had mine set into white gold links. . . With plenty of space apart. one Strand close up and then two strands layered together in an action pic. Not exactly edgy with my turtleneck or outfit, but it can be edgier (when worn as a lariat etc) I will cross post in the pearl thread; apologies for the OT

I love pearls! I don't find them particularly aging, rather very sophisticated. To me, they are a bit more on the dressy side, but I love wearing pearls to dress up an outfit! They generally have a "fancier" look that is still clean and not overdone.
Anyway, unpopular opinion. I'm sorry VCA fans but I do not get the hype around the Rock Crystal. It just looks like clear glass to me.
I understand, if you know, you know....but, I still know.... and it is a no for me.

IDK why people willing to pay the outrageous price for it.I love pearls! I don't find them particularly aging, rather very sophisticated.

STACKING your fine watch with a metal bracelet. It's disrespectful to your watch! Your watch will end up with unneeded scratches. It may be insta appealing, but your watch gonna look janky soon!
I don’t like it when engagement rings & wedding bands have exactly the same band. They just blend it to make one big thick ring.
I don’t like princess diamonds.
(Can you tell I’ve been looking at engagement rings recently
)

)My pet peeve is when i see a dirty wedding set.....gasp. i just want to pull it and clean it. Big or small, no difference. They just look way better when cleaned. Little tooth brush and dawn.....viola
After watching the satc episode "Luck be an old lady" pearls were never the same again. Now my mind goes instant nsfw when mentioned 
I'm not a Tiffany or Cartier fan!!!! I have been in Tiffany's many times......not appeals to me. I do have Tiffany eyewear, but high end stuff, not a fan. Looks good on others, etc.
Unpopular opinion is that everyone seems to have the same jewellery as each other
If it’s a choice between two bracelets you can guess which it will be. If it’s the choice between two watches you can guess the brand.
I don’t know if people with more unique or less expensive jewellery are afraid to speak up much because people gush over the Cartier/VCA stacks, or if the forum mostly attracts people who can afford to spend thousands (yes, even just once), on jewellery instead of a house deposit or rent or car payment or vet bill. But the same stuff seems to dominate for sure.
I don’t know if there are many like me who have no income themselves (I’m disabled and autistic), and whose partner only earns as much as I’ve seen on a single wrist.

I agree as well. Tennis bracelets and necklaces are classics that have become trendy recently, but I don’t like them. In fact, I don’t really like a lot of bling in jewelry, especially large diamonds. My unpopular opinion is that plain metal jewelry is cooler than gemstone jewelry.

I didn't "get" rock crystal either. Until I saw it in person. I'd been browsing a lesser known designer and had scrolled right by the crystal pieces. I had the same mindset----not paying that for that. I decided to go look at some other pieces in person and they happened to have some of the crystal pieces and I fell for them. Wound up with a ring and two pendants
And I'm seriously wanting to add another ring They aren't VCA but I guess it's the same principle
