I have a question for you, if you can only wear a single piece of jewelry, what would it be? What does your chosen jewelry say about your personality and individuality? Do you consider what you have chosen your go-to accessory, or is it your favorite? Do you think it is an excellent representation of who you are as a person? First, let us answer why we wear jewelry, the types of human personalities, and what your jewelry is saying about your character, based on the kind of jewelry and the materials used with or without your knowledge.
Why?
Let us go first with the question: why do we wear pieces of jewelry? First impression, have you heard of this? We are born with distinctive physical characteristics like the color of our hair, weight, body shape, and others. Sometimes, we are judged by the way we look or present ourselves. In Psychology, there are what we call non-verbal cues or language, and one of them is personal presentation. Since we cannot change our inborn physical features, well technically, we could with the use of science, but let us talk about using pieces of jewelry instead. One great example is how a woman wearing a wedding band automatically shouts untouchable to single men.
Another example is how teens usually go through changes when they reach adolescence. Some may choose to wear a little daring piece of jewelry like a choker necklace, while some would stick to a more traditional and straightforward piece like a chain bracelet. We always hear to each his own, and that is true, we choose to present ourselves on how we want to be perceived.
