I have 4 holes in each ear, and I keep tiny silver studs in all of them, because otherwise I rarely remember to put in earrings.

I wear 8 rings every day, most of them of the Enormous Gothy Bling variety. (I have a 10-carat garnet cut in the shape of a coffin, a large silver bird skull, a huge silver Jack Skellington head, and one that spans almost two knuckles in length and could probably double as a punch dagger.) But I take all of them off when I get home, except for the wedding & engagement rings, and I take the engagement ring off before bedtime.

Other jewelry depends on the outfit. Pocket watches, brooches, lockets, ankhs ... and yes, sometimes all of those things on the same outfit. But it works, I swear.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're in the thick of our Winter storm. Lots of snow has fallen and it's supposed to be followed by lots of wind. School's been cancelled. I shouldn't hold out hope that DH is going to be home tonight. But I hope he's not stuck in an airport on his birthday today.

Suzi, my twin sister had her wedding and engagement rings turned into "divorce" rings. She took her diamond solitaire from her engagement ring and had it made into a pendant and her ring was set with a ruby. They're very pretty and she gets a lot of wear out of them.

My own engagment/wedding ring wrap broke when we moved here so I had my engagement diamond placed in a necklace and I now just wear a simple anniversary band for my wedding ring.

I'm not really a jewelry person.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I now just wear a simple anniversary band for my wedding ring.

I used to say that I really just wanted a plain gold band, no engagement ring, nothing else. I think it looks really elegant in an understated way.

Now I think I still want just a band, no engagement ring, but a channel-set ring with sparklies of some kind.

'Cause they're shiny.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I wear earrings every day. I have 3 piercings: 2 in left lobe, 1 in right. I wear a small hoop in the second left hole that I rarely take out. In the 2 other holes, I change up my jewelry every day (today, small, wide gold hoops). Other than that, I don't wear much. Well, clothes, obviously, but not other jewelry very often.

But the next one is my favourite, not to hype it too much.

Is that the Two Live Crew Job, or was a different one your favorite (TLCJ being mine)?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Can I buy those myself and wait for Hypothetical Future Husband to arrive, or is that gauche?

I say do it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My wedding ring is the only jewelry I've ever owned that hasn't made me break out in a nasty rash. So it's all I wear.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, the roads here are wet and sloppy. When the temps start dropping it's going to be dangerous.
