I have my plain white gold wedding band, and a 2.5 ct white gold diamond pinky ring I wear on special occasions. Also have some bracelets, chains and medallions I no longer wear since I left the music industry.

PS - how to insert pictures in the post (I see the button and it asks for a URL - which service online do you use)?

you need to have an account with a hosting service like photobucket. post your pics on there and then use the image url to insert in your post

I use webshots but if you click on the paperclip next to the smiley face you can attach an image instead of linking it.

If I wear gold its a small gold diamond cross on a chain or an italian horn on a chain. Both are small. I have not worn gold though at all recently the only gold I want is a watch.

I generally wear stuff like this...no opportunity to show the necklace I wear regularly, but I've got a Greek Cross pendant on it...I also alternate a variety of pinkie rings (an old wedding band, a signet ring, a ring with a black stone) on my picture taking hand..and I tend to wear one or two gold bracelets on my picture taking hand...outside of that - that's it...

TT 18K 1985 Datejust in watch rotation.

Other baubles...these I wear daily wear:
Medicalert bracelet
Hawaiian cuff
Airborne ring
ruby w/ diamonds ring
wedding ring w/ diamonds/rubies
neck chain also w/ Medicalert
All are solid 14K (not hollowed in back). I should weigh all that.

Also, have a three colored gold Hawaiian sea turtle and Hawaiian signet ring. Both 18K, but don't wear 'em.
Think that's all the gold I have.

I wear the medicalert necklace as a backup to the bracelet due to having Class III Congestive Heart Failure and having an implanted defibrillator & rod in my leg. Important for medical to know in case I'm knocked out and they think about putting me in an MRI. That could get messy.

Oh and my 18K Baume et Mercier. I should wear it more often. But, I usually only wear it when I have to suit up for office/customer gigs (I work from home).

I am guilty if accused as appearing a pompous and materialistic pig. "Appearing" being key. In the definition of that word, I've no dignity nor splendor. I'm simply a soldier of Christ that likes shiny things. Like a parakeet ;)

PS, but, I'm not a good "soldier". More of the Beetle Bailey genre.

Just my WG wedding ring, $75 27 years ago, and my recently purchased YG DD. But i also wear a platinum and diamond ring on my right hand. A store clerk once asked why I wore two wedding rings. I simply said that I had a plain wife and a fancy wife. The look on his face as I walked away was priceless.

A two tone diamond wedding band, my TT DJ, a gold rope chain with a gold crucifix. I had a large nugget bracelet, nugget diamond ring and an old wedding ring. The last three got sold for cash when gold was at it's recent high price. I did quite nicely on the deal.

No other jewellery. I used to wear chains, rings, etc., but now I belong to the camp that believes men should only wear a nice watch. In my mind, if a man only wears a watch he can justify owning one hell of a nice one.
