Just a fun, lighthearted thread about your own personal “jewelry pet peeves”. Could be a style you dislike, or an aspect of a certain piece that drives you up the wall, or a general aesthetic that bugs you. To all other readers and posters of the thread - this isn’t meant to offend, just to be something fun to read and discuss with other enthusiasts!
I’ll name some of mine:
1) DBTY style necklaces or bracelets - I am super sensitive to the feeling of the culet on my skin and it drives me crazy! I can’t wear DBTYs for that reason.
2) layering (especially necklaces or pendants) - the few times I’ve done it I always manage to get the clasps/chains tangled up in each other and it just looks messy and that drives me insane. I have seen this done well, but to me it’s one of those things that looks great in a picture but usually not so much 20 mins later when all your chains are tangled up tighter than your earphone wires.
3) melee that’s just slightly different in color than the center stone in a halo - don’t get me wrong, I love a good contrast, but it personally drives me nuts when the difference is just enough to be noticeable but not enough to look deliberate. I’m sure no one really notices this in real life - I literally never have and I’m sure other people are walking around with mismatched colors - but I always notice on my own self and it drives me batty. I’m not very color sensitive so a small difference likely wouldn’t bug me, but something like D-E melee and H-I center stone would just do my head in.
So tell me yours!
