I was just discussing this in an other thread, but didn't want to derail more, and it's actually really funny.
What jewelry do not ever wear because of something that has happened in the past, that completely turned you off, or just brings back some bad/hideous memories?
For me it is 24k gold, or very yellow gold. My truly formative years were in the 80s, and OMG, the 24k gold that my circle sported back then...hard to even look back.
Some of those pieces and styles have been back since, but maybe not in as "yellow" a gold as back then. So even now, YG reminds me of some truly hideous "follow the crowd" fashion decisions I made, against my better judgment. Heavy bright yellow chains. A truly scary 24k mini Rolex ring. Maybe that's why I cannot even look at Rolexes in YG now.
I'm venturing back into YG, but much lighter versions, and trying to have fun with it. I just need a mini Flava-Flav clock pendant.
