i don't care about how you or some researchers think about what jewelry means.
i wear my grandmother's jewels because i still think about her and admire how proud she was about herself, her style and way of life.
i buy my own jewelry because i like the story behind it (my favourite piece is a scrimshaw necklace carved by a fisherman a long time ago)
or because i like how it looks on me. i like how the enamel bird around my neck goes with my eyes and makes my eyes stand out. i like the sound my bracelets make when i move my arm. i like playing with a ring when i'm listening in class.
jewelry is something that has been around since forever. humans have always decorated themselves and gave their clothes and jewels a meaning. it has to do with emotions and aesthetics, not with 'modern times' or whatever you are yapping about.
