Fun Monday # 91 Jewelery
Our host today is M is for Misanthrope and this is the task she has set us:
Do you have a piece of jewelry or other item that holds great personal significance for you, and that you wear or keep with you every day? Show us a photo of your talisman, and tell us why it is so important to you.
Hints: Your talisman could be your wedding ring…or your lack thereof! Maybe it’s a bracelet or watch that belonged to a beloved relative or friend. Perhaps your item is significant in your faith, if you are of a religious persuasion, or maybe it is a proud symbol of your ethnicity. Maybe it’s something silly, that makes you smile every time you look at it! Maybe your talisman is actually part of you - perhaps you got a tattoo to mark a significant event in your life. I’m also thinking about our recent observation of Veterans’ Day here in the USA: Perhaps you have a loved one who is far away - in the military or otherwise - and you carry a memento of him or her with you every day.
Disclaimer: Please, let’s keep the photos and stories family-friendly. In other words, I do NOT want to see that piercing or tattoo you-know-where :-) Sorry, but them’s the rules!
Now this suits me just fine as I my body is tattoo free and the only things pierced are my ears!
I do have quite a lot of jewelery and in my younger days I loved wearing all of it. However, it seems as I have matured, I have become allergic to gold (this annoys me as I have many pairs of earings). In fact I only had my ears pierced because Embee bought me a pair of tennis raquet earrings for pierced ears-Sadly one of these got lost so I can't show a picture of these!
I've decided not to bore you with lots of photos and will show you the one item I do wear all the time-this is my watch (is this classed as jewelery)! EmBee bought me this watch a few years ago after missing a few presents for (Birthday, Christmas Anniversary. Anyway it's a Rado and I'm rather fond of it
I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more interesting posts than this one!

Hi Chris, your watch is lovely. I have stopped wearing a watch and rely mostly on my cell phone for the time of day.
I knew you'd pick that when I saw the topic!
I'm sure you feel close to EmBee when you wear your watch. That is what's nice about it.
I have an old ring I wear on a leather thong around my neck. tis a band of three braids of different-colour gold - each band represents one of my sons.

The watch is lovely - but I just never got use to wearing one as it only takes a few weeks for the battery dies on me.
I used to wear a watch all the time but now it just gets in the way with the baby and washing my hands 300 times a day.
Lovely watch, I feel weird when I go out without mine!
Ooooh - what a lovely watch! Very nice! I would hate to become allergic to gold :-( With my deathly pale complexion, gold suits me better than silver SO...that would be the end of my jewelry-wearing. Great post, thank you for participating!
Hi Chris. I like your watch. I had the same metal allergy, years ago. Eventually, I could wear sterling silver and 14K or more gold. I can't were costume jewelry ever, or a watch. It's the lead in the mix. I wear a watch loop on my belt, it's called a golfer's watch.
That's a very cool watch! That reminds me... I need to get one.
Very nice watch!
I am hoping my love for jewelry will mellow too through the years! LOL
That is a lovely watch!
Happy Fun Monday!
Allergic to gold? That's disappointing, however at least then money is spent on more exciting things like trips to Corfu!!!
(Dave and I were watching a tv program where they interviewed a woman who was $100,000 in debt - mostly buying "stuff" she wanted, like jewelry. I think if I was going to go into debt - jewelry would NOT be my choice) So - this had nothing to do with your watch....which is lovely.
That is a very interesting watch. I can see why you would want to wear it every day. It goes with everything too!
That must be very annoying to become allergic to gold! Can you wear silver jewelry?
That is a very beautiful watch! I felt quite lost because I didn't have mine on today.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a cool watch! almost art-deco
I just love that watch. Agree with you--best piece of jewelry. Well done Embee! Since I wear glasses every day consider them as jewelry and always try to have fashionable pair.
a lovely watch and sweet memories to go with it. I have a beautiful watch Nigel bought me for my 18th unfortunately I can't wear watches of anykind as they irrate me!!! but I still have it safely tucked up in his box :)
I have bad luck with watches.
I'm envious of yours for sure.
My Mum developed metal allergies too. It's such a nuisance.
I'm sorry about your 'metal' allergies. Like you, my body is free of tattoos (but I do think of getting one someday) and only my ears are pierced (4 times on the left & 2 on the right). That’s an interesting watch. I also have LOTS of jewelry (and watches too actually) but other than the 5 diamond studs and single tiny ‘ring’ in my ears (and 3 ‘toe’ rings on my left foot) … I tend to be w/o jewelry most of the time.
Hugs and blessings,
