Dog tags are jewelery gone to the dogs, so guess they don't count. Anyway, only male rappers and that black ones, can wear jewelery. I mean now as in the past men did wear rings, signet-rings etc. I don't have any of those and a gold Rolex is out of my league. Still, in Poland men such as college rectors and court judges wear chains, but it's like official.

I used to wear a white gold wedding band when I was married along with a watch and that was the extent of any jewelery that I wore. Not it is just the Seiko watch ( would get a Rolex, but don't see the point ).

Wedding band? With your wife's name on it? I thought it was a wedding ring. By the way, do you like Modern Talking (this NORA thing around Thomas' neck)? They played nice music. Right, this Rolex was exaggeration, I find gold watches ostentatious.

:D Okay, wedding ring. No, her name wasn't on it. Doesn't matter as she has long since been EXed. :D I'm not familiar with what you are asking in the second sentence about Modern Talking. My Seiko is gold including the face. I like it as it keeps good time, but then again so do some much cheaper watches.

Oh, never mind, but it hits your eyes when you see Modern Talking videos. Such estethic. The weather today is so-so in Szczecin. In northeastern Poland they forecast subzero temperatures but generally spring's in the air.

We never had much of a Winter. The temps around here will be in the 70's F to around 80 F or so for the next week and has been. We had a couple of cooler days early this week.

In 1980, while on an assignment in Japan, I bought a Seiko that had a calculator. Very small buttons but came with a Pentel for a stylus. It was 80,000 yen but the jeweler took 60,000 across the counter in cash. It was white gold and was a very heavy band. Still stashed away for now. It was one of many and when working in restricted environments, becomes an option, often a hazard. Most cherished pieces are seldom worn and changes in ring sizes can result in loss. Some reflect moods without having a special stone. Decorations, like removable tatoos. Piercings, like special tatoos, should remain in areas that are covered while in public.

When I was in Japan, 80,000 Yen would have been about $223 USD ( 360 Yen = $1 USD ). The one I am wearing now was either $275 or $375 ( forgot which , but think it may have been $375 ). Never got a Tat while In the Far East as it would have cut too deeply into my beer money. :D Actually, I never got a tat period although thought about it a few times. I may break down a get one at some point. :D

I usually wear silver earings and silver bracelet and on some special events like weddings I prefer having simple stylish white Gold necklace and earrings.

I'm a guy but if you want a guy's opinion I think silver would look nice on a lady wearing all black or some other color. But not gold.

If I have to accessorize, usually I use wood or plastic ones. But of course, it still depends on where you're going. Between silver and gold, I prefer silver. I also like white gold.

Jade is nice. Picked up quite a bit when I was in the Far East. :D
