What's your unpopular jewelry opinion?

I am the same! I am always eyeballing other people’s jewelry. I know I am jewelry obsessed and I am usually decked out while wearing leggings and sneakers, but I feel it’s a way of expressing oneselfI don’t understand women who don’t wear any jewelry. Everyone looks 100% better and more interesting when wearing jewelry! I doesn’t have to be a lot of jewelry, but something on brings interest and personality.
Of course I’m not saying one cannot be interesting of full of personality if you don’t wear jewelry, bu aside from any allergies or on certain occasions why wouldn’t one wear something that makes you look a lot better? It doesn’t have to be anything expensive.
Perhaps my opinion is based on really liking to see other people’s jewelry and being nosey and women who don’t wear jewelry don’t satisfy my need of seeing pretty things
I won’ judge you or anything if you don’t wear jewelry, it’s just a bit disappointing from an entertainment point of view. I have an aunt that loooves jewelry and is always wearing something interesting, and it’s always nice to check her jewelry out (and seeing her of course).
Arm stacks are the best thing in the world.
Bracelets are the royalty of jewelry.
I would wear bracelets up my armpits, both arms, if I could.
Unfortunately, the bizarre "gold" colour of the Apple Milanese band makes it hard to match metals.
Mined diamonds are the scam of the century. Should I go for an anniversary band, I'll go full lab or even moissanite.
My wet dream is to spend a day in a gold souk with unlimited budget and clean house!

It's all about how they make you feel. Nothing to do with quality after a certain point.
Engagement rings are just a way for diamond companies to milk money out of consumers twice, once before marriage, and once after marriage.
Sorry, this is old. But I am currently reading this thread and I am pretty sure that I read this in an interview with somebody from Pomellato. I can remember the quote, because I found that ridiculous too.
The tan lines you get from necklaces aren't worth it, so now I wear no necklaces regularly (yes I wear sunscreen every day)
I actually prefer quirky old mine cut diamonds to brilliant cut new stones. I have a over 3 ct one with a little chip (integrity is fine) and didn't want the chip polished out when reset. I tried on my dream emerald cut diamond engagement ring and hated it on me
This may be a bold claim, but the JUC/LOVE/VCA stack is only over done because of social media
I had my first love gifted to me 15ish years ago and wore it alone. I thought about getting a JUC/VCA, but didn't because I was sick of seeing them on social media. In that time, many custom/unique/high jewelry pieces have come into my life. I spent a few years away from fashion social media and don't see the "stack" in real life often (yes I see quite a few fakes). This year I realized I actually love the combo on me and bought both a VCA carnelian/rose gold guilloche and a reg JUC with diamonds - so now I am THE MOST basic and laugh about it.
Maybe an even bolder claim, I don't care if my jewelry looks all beat up and if my VCA becomes horrible looking I'll just replace the stones.

How big are your necklaces that you are getting tan lines?!!!The tan lines you get from necklaces aren't worth it, so now I wear no necklaces regularly (yes I wear sunscreen every day)

I second the older-cut diamonds and jewelry often being more interesting.
I'm seeing lots of ads on SM marketed as 'heirloom quality', 'forever pieces', 'jewellery that will last a lifetime'.
Sorry, but vermeil or gold plated brass isn't it. And it also isn't it if you come up with your own trademarked term to make 'gold-plated' sound more fancy.

Wow. I was also influenced to get those VCA bracelets too and end up getting three. Maximalist all the ways. Like you I wear them 24/7.The tan lines you get from necklaces aren't worth it, so now I wear no necklaces regularly (yes I wear sunscreen every day)

Beach, shower you name it.
I figured by the time, they are beat up, something else would be my thing. The most beat up right now is the green one. Those bracelets have lived!
As far as the neck situation? Tan lines are part of the charm.
Not a fan of formulaic designer bracelet stacks. Shows no imagination or individuality and looks messy. I wonder where all those JUC/VCA/Love bracelets will go to die once the trend is over. And the trend WILL end one day—just like charm bracelets and brooches. 😜
I live in the North East and this summer I wore a medium sized paperclip necklace and a herringbone choker for a week on vacation in California (not tanning just out and about), after I had two clear lighter lines on my neck for over a month. I was so embarrassed haha.How big are your necklaces that you are getting tan lines?!!!

You're right I should have embraced the tan lines.Wow. I was also influenced to get those VCA bracelets too and end up getting three. Maximalist all the ways. Like you I wear them 24/7.
