I wear whatever I feel like wearing. I wear Cartier, VCA, Rolex, etc. I just wear it in such a way that doesn’t involve being overly “blingy.”
+1.
I take public transportation sometimes (jewelry covered, hands gloves, and bags turned to me) and it goes under the radar. I wear big pieces (love verdura and Belperron and vintage stones like aquamarines, and IWC, JLC and other branded watches) but I’m neither a stack person nor really diamond jewelry intensive, so not too blingy. Sometimes Id like to think strangers just assume it’s fashion jewelry since I don’t have a problem mixing base metal and precious. As for VCA, there are so many replicas and spin off out there, that my six motif, which I wear regularly, isn’t exactly high profile. it works for me.
 
In my line of work, it wouldn't be a good idea to wear designer anything. I don't have any high end jewelry, but that's beside the point. If I did have designer jewelry or a Cartier piece, I wouldn't wear it to work. Even on Friday two of my coworkers were having a conversation about shoes and they agreed that Tory Burch shoes were expensive. I looked it up and saw that they were in the $200s. I kept my mouth shut. I'm used to having to pay in the $100s for shoes. I have flat feet and need to buy good quality shoes that have some extra cushion and support (though oddly enough when it comes to boots, the special boots hurt my feet and Target boots help me out better, so....?).

I stick with my engagement and wedding ring, my necklace (it is a diamond heart necklace but it's not flashy), my metal and plastic bracelet my husband got for me when he went on vacation with his family back when we were first dating, my Anne Klein watch, silver hoop earrings from Wal Mart, and my silver bracelet that have infinity signs all around with a small emerald in between each infinity sign. I wore that bracelet on my wedding day (my husband's birth stone is emerald), and I will ALWAYS wear it. It isn't flashy and it's from Macy's, but it does look nice and of course signifies something very special to me. This is jewelry I pretty much wear everywhere.

I do have my eye on a bracelet from Fendi, and one from Gucci. If I get one of those, I wouldn't wear it to work.

I don’t switch my jewellery. I wear my Tiffany wedding band on my left hand and two Chaumet Bee My Love rings stacked together on my right hand. These 3 rings are all very understated, in my opinion. I don’t wear necklaces because my toddler may pull on it.

Bracelet is my Pandora bracelet with charms. I wear all these to work and no one says anything.

I am more conscious about the bags I carry to work because it’s more noticeable.
