Jewellery; important accessory or simple commodity?
November 30th 2007 05:03
I find it very hard to believe that you're currently not wearing some from of decorative bling. Even if it's only a watch; chances are it's got some design or shine to it to make it easier on the eye thus making it and its wearer more desirable. So my highly important topic of the day is whether accessories of the jewellery persuasion are highly thought of or if they're a last minute item that get thrown on moments before we leave the house?
Well the vast majority of my research indicates that most people have a well worn favourite such as practical watch or something they've had for so long it's almost attached to them but apart from that, they don't really bother too much with the bling. Excess adornments however, do exist and usually put in an appearance when someone is out to paint the town red in which case it's all just part of the costume. Where this particular jewellery comes from can be split into 2 groups i.e. presents and intentional buys.
Presents will range from a big, over the top pieces because someone had no clue what to buy, to exquisite pieces that the buyer thinks reflects the personality of the intended wearer. Sometimes these gifts work and other times they don't which can be quite awkward and costly.
The jewellery that persons buy for themselves is sought because it's meant to serve a certain purpose. They may own a basic outfit that would compliment a glittery pair of earrings nicely or they may want a watch that says "I'm here and I mean business". Whatever the reason, this required item is wanted and becomes even more desirable with each unsuccessful shopping expedition to find it. Seriously, sometimes it's like they've hidden the good stuff just before you get there.
So there you go; in an incredibly tight nutshell this is how the majority of jewellery is accumulated according to my sources, but what of its importance? Well, for most people it seems that if it isn't a well worn favourite, it's pretty but wouldn't lead to severe depression if it were lost. It seems jewellery is really just this pretty stuff we own that doesn’t serve any purpose besides boosting our aesthetic value.
