I don't have much of a choice--I have a metal allergy, so it has to be either gold or silver (oh, POOR little me!).
I'd feel naked without my baubles, especially earrings and a statement necklace. Of course, I have some evening wear pieces that would look out of place in daytime, so those I don't wear then. And I have a few delicate antique pieces I'm afraid to wear much, or while walking in snow or grass (in case the pieces break and fall into the snow/grass). I had plenty of that happen while dressed for Civil War reenacting--antique 1860's brooches that broke the first time I wore them.
I think jewelry should, in most cases, be worn, and often. It's for fun and a part of my look. I know women who have, for example, genuine pearls that were gifts, "Of course, I'll never wear them." Why not? What a waste of money, the designer's and jeweler's time, and materials. And, in the case of pearls, it can be worse for them not to be worn periodically. Pearls need some skin oil to stay hydrated. (I always think of the delighful news photo, pre-Castro days, that showed wealthy Cuban ladies decked out in all of their pearl pieces, taking a dip in the ocean, in order to hydrate the pearls. They apparently did this once or twice a year!)

I wear my jewelry on a daily basis. Although not all at once because I do have quite a few pieces.
Absolutely! Why buy it if they're not meant to be worn? On a daily basis I wear my wedding set, two love bracelets, 2 DBTY pendants, Cartier diamond studs. What I rotate out are a variety of Hermes bracelets, Tiffany stacking rings on right hand or Cartier love rings, cartier watches and Chanel costume jewelry. I'm a jewelry whore 
I wear my nice stuff every day. Why wait? Life is short and you never know when that day could be your last!
I wear my 'good' jewelry when I got out on an everyday basis, but some jewelry is more prone to damage than others. Those I wear on special occasions. It doesn't really have anything to do with the price/value of the jewelry, rather its nature.
I never save anything. I like to get use out of every piece and enjoy all what I have whenever I can!
I wear one of my Cartier wedding bands (YG or WG) + a YG or WG dainty bracelet (baby love or sweet VCA) and a watch during daytime/work.
I wear my Cartier love cuff everyday too (but not at work).
The only 2 pieces that I dont wear everyday are my e ring and diamond tennis bracelet. and that's only because they are not that practical for me during work.

it depends how elaborate they are. i believe diamonds are not only forever but for everyday if they are classic in design, but if its too OTT then I save it for special occassions. but all my tiffanys is subject to everyday wear.
I wear diamond stud earrings, wedding band and a rolex every day.
While I am fortunate to have some very special ( significant) pieces, I really have pared things down.

I hate to save things for "good" and like to wear as much jewelry as possible (without looking too much like one of those older ladies who overdo it!). I seem to get "cravings" for different jewelry at different times. Sometimes it's pearls, then it's amber for a while. Then there are jade days. And there are weeks on end where diamonds are calling my name. Then all of a sudden out of the blue I feel the need to wear lapis. Then there are times for onyx. I also feel drawn to white gold some days and yellow gold at other times. Is anyone else like this? (I do the same with purses btw.)
