Noisy jewelry - YouLookFab Forum

I'm probably alone on this but I love noisy clothes, especially shoes. Hearing my shoes clack against a wood floor brings me immense satisfaction. Jewelry doesn't bother me either. I actually kind of like it.

I think we usually notice it more ourselves. Exception: when you are in a meeting where it's really quiet, and only one person is speaking, then the sound of bracelets or rings clicking on a table can be a bit annoying.

The bracelets sound lovely, Katja, hope we get to see a picture?-)

I love clicky shoes especially when I walk down the corridor at work as the accoustics are fab. Noisy jewellery doesn't bother me compared to the noise in my classroom I barely notice it!! x

Lovely to hear what you all think! Now that I think about it, I like the click clack of shoes against the floor, too.

The bracelets sound lovely, Katja, hope we get to see a picture?-)

Love the hammered bangles, Katja! I have been thinking about getting some bangles...I think I would like the jangly noise, but then again, I'm deaf in one ear, so it wouldn't seem to loud to me as to others!

They are great - I love the hammered, antiqued silver.

I am not a big fan of noisy jewelry, so when I need to be quiet, I shove them part way up my arm, so they are stuck AND quiet. . .

Haha! Noisy jewellery bothers me loads! jangly earrings last mere minutes on my lobes, five bangles end up as one solitary one, and the very worst is when tiny cap at the end of a heel wears down or comes off and my shoes make two different sounds!

Beautiful bangles!

I wore some for the first time today that were loud and jangly and I was a little self-conscious, but then, I was as church, so probably not a great choice.

I don't ever really recall being bothered by the sound of someone else's jewelry.

I have a giant metal bangle with dangly bits off it. I call it my wonder woman bracelet. It's very noisy.

I adore noisy clothes and jewelry too. As long as you aren't interviewing, writing an exam, or in a library - go for it.

I love them! Wear it with flair and don't worry about the noise. I am sure nobody -other than you- notices.

Your bracelets are beautiful! I think it's kind of fun to jingle. I guess the only thing would be if it were distracting to others in your office or at meetings.

I used to have some gorgeous porcelain bracelets that made a ton of noise, and I was always afraid they were going to break against one another.

I make so much noise most days when I'm wearing bracelets or heels. I love the sounds of bangles jingling off each other, or the click of heels.

Your bracelets are beautiful.

Katja, beautiful bracelets!

Personally I'm a bit shy about noisy jewelry, but it can be kind of fun.

I LOVE it!!!
I always jingle jangle, like Dawn, between my bracelets and the sound of my heels people always say "I knew that was you")
Those are lovely!!

Beautiful bracelets. I personally shy away from noisy jewelry for work. (my area is nicknamed the catacombs or the library) But weekends are fair game for noise.

I think it's fine as long as it is in a situation where these type of noises do not impact on other people trying to work in a quiet and focused environment.

One of my jobs requires me to run an extremely high pressure test for candidates as part of either an immigration application or for access to higher education (amongst other things). Trust me when I say that the rattling and jingling and banging on the desk of jewellry can be extremely irritating to other candidates and they can get quite upset to have this sort of distraction.

That said, in the rest of my everyday life, the more noise, the better I say!!

I love the clink of jewelry.

I have a "mommy" necklace with two silver discs that sometimes jingles. Late on Christmas eve 2008, I was wearing that necklace while . . . um . . . tracking Santa's progress on NORAD across the US, while everyone else was fast asleep. Yeah, that's what I was doing. It was really late ~ around midnight ~ when I headed up the stairs to bed. I was moving quickly, and then . . . I heard it! A jingling ~ rather faint, but still clear as a bell. In my sleepy, Santa-focused state, I honest to goodness thought, "SANTA!! Santa is arriving on his sleigh!!!!" It took me a minute to realize that it was MY NECKLACE. Hello, someone was up waaay past their bedtime.

Katja, I love hammered metal, so those bracelets are beyond fab in my opinion!

Sparky what a fab story. I have been known to check in on Santa's progress too (and I don't have the excuse of kids!!) x

I have one that does the same!
I like to hear it but when I'm at work I take them off because I don't want to bother others.

I have noisy jewelry too! Never thought about it much until now, but it doesn't bother me, in fact I kinda like a little jingle!

I'm wearing them at work today - turns out I can't type with them on, so they're off and lying on the desk for the moment.

I have a fairly solitary job (sob!), I don't think they're going to bother anyone and they make me feel fab.

Katja, I know what you mean about the typing thing. Sometimes even my watch feels like it's in the way (it hits the edge of the keyboard) and I take it off. But I just remind myself that you have to suffer for beauty.

What do you do for work?

Oh, the watch comes off all the time, too.

I work for Ball Aerospace as a software engineer. The job can be very interactive when working on a larger project, but for the last year or so I've been doing small things pretty much by myself, which is a challenge for an extrovert like me.

I personally love certain noises, like the clack of heels orthe jingle that comes from metallic pieces. Oddly enough, I'm not so enamoured with the clicking sounds made when plastic beads hit each other.
I got out of the habit of wearing bracelets and rings when I was pursuing piano very seriously. There are few things more obnoxious than the clack of a ring on the black keys during an intense, pianissimo moment.
