No jewelry dedicated for some pierced body part!
No anklet or toe rings.
No pandora/Troll bead bracelets.
No Cartier Love bracelet...PITA! (Although I love them on others).
Nothing too dainty...I'm too tall!

I do not like the look of the following on women (or men?! :-))

Chokers
Huge watches being worn buy women
Bracelets with lots of charms hanging off them
Toe Rings
Those necklaces with your name written in them Sex and the City Style
Arm cuffs (do they not just always fall down ladies?)
Those who do not know when to stop - there sometimes can be too much!

Tiffany silver - even browsing through it makes me feel like a sucker. It's so boring!
Pandora, etc. - I think I missed this trend altogether. Don't get it.
Cartier LOVE stuff - again, it's boring. Most people wouldn't buy them if it weren't for the name.
Leather - aside from watch straps, I feel it would wear out too quick. I like forever jewelry.
Cutesy shaped stuff - hearts, butterflies, animals, etc.
Orange stones - just don't work with my coloring.

Aside from that, I'm open to everything else.

You sound like me, except for the orange stones!

I'm sure Tiffany jewlery is very well-made, but I look at the catalogue and find it too staid (ok, classy) for my taste. The only thing I've ever bought from Tiffany was blank note cards years ago, and I was very impressed with their service.

I do like realistic animal jewelry, but not cartoonish stuff. One of my fave necklaces is a double-strand of malachite and sterling beads, with a huge, sterling reclining leopard pendant. He has a big, sterling-framed malachite oval dangle. I bought it in 1995, and still get compliments every time I wear it--even from men. I had lusted after the necklace, but was too cheap to buy it. Then, I thought I had leukemia (medical/doctor mix-up, and I was very sick for weeks, so it seemed logical). I thought, "Well, I'm going to die anyway, I may as well buy it and enjoy it."

Not to get off topic here...but in defense of Pandora....the style has never been my favorite, but my kids have given me every bead on mine over the years and it means so much to them...so it makes me smile and I do love it when I wear it! :p I think that a lot of people like them for the "story" behind each bead more than for the actual style.

I have to add the Pandora bracelets (the little beads are weird to me!) and expensive things on leather straps like Hermes H bracelets. :)

LOL - how do you find them "weird"? Must admit I'm not into the fun shapes like animals or purses, but then they don't do that many of them now.

Totally agree about the Hermes H bracelets though! LOL

I love bracelets, earrings, pendants/necklaces, watches, & rings! I prefer certain styles of each more than others, but that's the beauty of variety...we can wear what we love, & leave the rest to others!

Ironically enough, aside from my wedding ring set, my jewellery together w/ my lipstick is the first thing to come off once I get home. I just like the feeling of bareness and minimalism......odd, since I love jewellery.

Body piercing is an item I have no interest in.

Oh....and diamond-encrusted or gold teeth. Won't be calling my Dentist to re-work my smile anytime soon!

I don't care for pandora bracelets at all. They kind of seem kind of faddish and high-schoolish to me.

I think they will stand the test of time. Lots of older women in particular love Pandora. Its also the sort of thing I would drool over as a teen so I think it appeals to all ages. Of course, I am biased, since I love Pandora, although I do admit, I find the gold verson a bit too blingy and chavvy-looking. But only time will tell if the "fad" will last ... :p

But then the same could be said about the Cartier Love bracelet - that is faddish to me. Although what a clever trick Cartier have pulled - inventing a bracelet that screws permanently to your wrist! That will make sure their product is worn continually for, like, ever ... :D

The Cartier Love can easily come off, its not on forever.:laugh:

I am also not a fan of pandora either, it looks cheapish to me, a bit gypsyish (not that its a bad thing). Pandora are doing their own clever marketing so people buy into the myth, they market to the masses, pretty much like what Cartier does :p

All of that being said, thank goodness everyone is different, plenty of choice for all. Its funny, I can imagine some people looking back at this thread and thinking " I said I have no interest in Nose rings?" with a big diamond stud in her nose in 2012 :laugh:

I said that re nose rings in 1995 and here I sit with one now! Ha ha ha!

I know what you mean, they all have clever marketing tricks, but the Love bangle is designed to be fixed on and never taken off. So many people seem to have this dilemma that now they have the Love bracelet they can't wear any of their other lovely jewellery and that seems such a shame.

I would love the Love bracelet if the design was something a bit more imaginitive, but those fake screw images all around it just don't appeal to me. Looks industrial!

But yes, its good we all like different things. How dull the world would be otherwise, and how uniformed and un-unique we would all be.

Very true and knowing my luck in the futures, someone may "gift" me a pandora bracelet and I would fall in love with it!:D

Cartier designed the bracelet to look as unisex as possible totally industrial which is why I think lots of people like it - its simple and understated and lots of people dislike it, some prefer the more blinged out versions. The wonders of choice eh:smile1:
