Wearing Your Special Occasion Jewelry Every Day

For many people with fine jewelry, especially special occasion jewelery, such as fine strand of pearls, diamond earrings, cocktail ring, ornate brooch, they only choose to wear their fine pieces for select occasions.

Jewelry is meant to be adorned, adored and worn to the max. If you consider how much you invested and how often you wear a certain piece, are you getting the most pleasure out of it?

Now, of course, I am not suggesting that you wear your fancy jewels when you go out bowling or grocery shopping, but if you stop and think of all the other times you can be enjoying your jewelry, you will discover how much more pleasure they will bring to you rather than having them hidden and worn for only special occasions--jewels are meant to be worn.

The brooch pictured above, was worn on the lapel of a jean jacket as well as for formal events, by the previous owner. This was a treasured piece that she wore every opportunity that she could.

Clothes need accessories to complete their look. Certain outfits need a very polished look by adding a pearl strand. Your diamond earrings will add such elegant and class to any outfit you wear.

Look at your jewelry in a different way, be adventurous and daring and don't limit yourself to how often you can wear your beautiful jewels.

Open your jewelry box and explore all the new possibilities.

The Significance of Giving and Wearing Symbolic Jewelry

Your first piece of symbolic jewelry could have been given to you at your Christening or to your mother to mark your birth.

Symbolic jewelry represents or signifies a special occasion, accomplishment, celebration, to honour someone, achievement, awareness of a cause or stand.

Religious medallions, Diploma's, Numbers, Child's Profile, Sayings are examples of symbolic pieces of jewelery.

Many are engarved with special and personal inscriptions, including the date to commemerate the occasion.

They speak volumes when given--"I am proud of you", "Welcome to the World, Oh Precious One", "Congratulations on Your Achievements/Graduation", "You've Reached a Milestone".

One of my dearest and most cherished pieces is my first tooth that is encased in a gold setting and is worn as a charm on my bracelet.

For the person giving it to you, it symbolizes for them, what you mean to them, how proud they are of you, they stand by you and support you, they honour you.

When a person wears a symbolic piece, it is part of who they are--a collage of their life. You wear them throughout your lifetime. They are conversation pieces too, especially if the symbol is unique. A story begins to unfold as you relive experiences and share your stories with people. Good memories, shared memories--a reflection of your past--eternal in your heart.

The picture of the sterling silver keys up above are examples of symbolic jewelry.

The KEY can symbolize the KEY to one's heart, the KEY of life, hard work is the KEY of success and so on.
