I have had one for 4 and a half years actually.Poi E said:
She is of the same opinion.
If I was going to wear some pointless metal on my body I'd at least make it something interesting, like a chunk of Uranium (encased in a lead locket of course) on the end of a necklace.
platinum! although it's insanely expensive.
Normally I prefer white gold or silver. Silver is a pain in the arse to keep clean, though, which is why platinum and white gold are better.
I was at a jeweler recently and tried on a beautiful necklace that was called 'confetti.' As it's name suggests, it's made of a bunch of silver circular discs that look like confetti. I asked her how on earth you'd clean that! She said it was Rhodium-coated so it doesn't tarnish that easily. I guess that's the new thing. I wonder if that works..

Maybe I like the misery
I'm completely indifferent to jewelry/sparkly things

Silver only tarnishes if you don't wear it.
I have a lovely silver bangle that I have to clean every time I wear it, only because I wear it about once a year
The stuff I wear all the time never needs cleaning.

So many particulars. So many questions.
silver is classic. Gold, especially lots of it, can come across as vulgar

If in doubt.. mumble.
Usually white gold or platinum
Silver - even my wedding ring's made of it. Never had a problem cleaning silver - just use "silver dip" or soap & water plus a soft towel.
My earlobes go red, hot & insanely itchy when wearing 9ct gold earrings, and I can't afford a higher gold content.

I've not found that. I have a necklace I like to wear every day that tarnishes after about a month. I only clean it once a year, but it's noticeably tarnished.

It is if you actually wear something so monstrous. Really, that's not a good look. If you wanna look like Jacqueline Wilson, fine, go ahead, but it's not very attractive.butterfly child said:Is that aimed at me?

a complex mass of conflicting ideas
I wear my gold wedding ring(where it should be), a silver ring and a gold diamond solitaire on the right hand and silver necklaces, so I guess I have to vote other.
I'd go with platinum if I had the money for it

Yeah - I like silver and gold together.
