Team Rings or Bracelets?

Mac

In honour of Angie's post today about Necklace vs. Earrings, I'm moving down the body and want to know if you're more of a ring or bracelet woman?

Neither. I can never find bracelets or rings that will fit me.

Piece of cake, rings. I wear a watch everyday on my left and am right handed so bracelets often don't stay on my wrist long unless they are stretchy. Rings I never really notice I am wearing.

team bracelets! I've gone through spurts of wanting to be a rings girl, but they never seem to be comfortable/practical enough for me to keep wearing in the long run. I have a hammered silver cuff bracelet that I wear almost every day, though I occasionally trade it out to wear a different bracelet for a day.

My wrists and fingers are at least as dainty as yours, Maya. Granted, I always have to have my rings sized, but it can be done.

Team Ring. I wear my wedding ring everyday. I have one bracelet, but don't wear it everyday.

Mac and Maya - neither of you could pick a Team on today's poll. Maya, I thought you could *always* pick a Team!

Oh, I am fickle. I go for years batting for one team, then trading myself to the other. I had a good decade on team bracelets, then a decade on team rings, and currently I'm back on team bracelets again.

Definitely bracelets! Rings annoy me. (Would it make sense to make a caveat for this one that engagement/wedding rings don't count? I can imagine a lot of people saying that they couldn't part with their wedding band so they have to pick rings.)

Cross-posted with Angie ~ hmm, I wear my wedding and engagement rings every day, but since they never come off except for some cooking activities, I didn't even think of them for team rings. Currently I don't wear any other rings, but I do play around with a lovely stash of bracelets. My fave this summer is a white bead cuff bracelet that belonged to my grandmother.

Do you thing our ring budget is the same though Angie? I doubt it...

I wear earrings and necklaces equally now, so no team for me today.

I'd say that 90% of the time I wear no jewellery at all. I went to a school from age 9 - 18 where no jewellery or makeup was allowed and I think I just never got used to jewelley after that. I had a Cartier watch that for years stood in as a jewellery substitute... but then I lost it and these days I wear an ugly plastic thing as I hunt for my dream watch.

I'm definitely not Team necklace or earrings. If I'm any Jewellery Team at all, I'm either team bracelet or ring: it's pretty much a toss-up. So... um... I'll say team Bracelet.

Love reading all of your answers.

Angie - being the Style Maven that you are, did you help your then-fiance pick out your engagement ring?

Team Bracelet. I never wear rings and don't own any. When I was younger, I wore an onyx ring my beloved Nana left me every day on the same finger for about 10 years. One day, it disappeared from my hotel room when I was in Chicago on business. I've never gotten over it.

I do wear bracelets now, but also have the narrow wrist problem. I only buy stretchy bracelets and always have to perform surgery to remove a link or two once I've brought a new one home; otherwise, they'll be fated to an onyx ring destiny.

I am Team Ring! I do not wear my wedding ring - I just cannot have a ring on my finger for 24 hours and then to put it on just to go out does not make sense to me. But I love statement rings and wear them almost every day.

Team rings! I wear my wedding ring every day and have trouble finding bracelets that will stay on my wrists.

Frances - I hope theives who steal our beloved jewellery rot in H#LL! I had a pretty citrine and gold ring of my late mother that disappeared at my club. I left signs around that club for weeks - begging for its return, offering a big reward - until one of the senior staff took me aside and gave me a very serious talk; it's a "chi chi" club and they didn't appreciate my "LOST RING" signs everywhere.

Then, my house was robbed and the Edwardian gold necklace with 25 large amethysts that my late dad had given my late mother for their 25th wedding anniversary was stolen. I swear, if I ever found the person who took that necklace, his own mother wouldn't be able to recognize him after the butt kicking I'd give him.

But... oops... this post was meant to say, so sorry about your grandmother's ring. I feel your pain.

Oh, Frances, I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing something with personal value is the worst.

For now, I am on Team Neither with Maya, but it's certainly not because my fingers or wrists are dainty. Rings drive me crazy--if I ever get married, I'm not sure I'd even wear a ring. Bracelets might have some possibilities if I can get over the fear that they just highlight my chunky wrists. I'll try to be brave in the coming weeks and try out some bracelets.

Team bracelets for me. I have large fingers (think size 10-11), can never buy a costume jewelry ring. My wrists are large too so I have a trouble but can find them

Team bracelets, although they can be hard to find as I also have a small wrist. The bracelet I wear most frequently is a plain sterling silver cuff that is a children's size.

I don't like the feeling of rings on my fingers so the only ones I wear are my wedding rings.

Team neither To be fair, I have 2 bracelets that I wear only occasionally. I never wear rings and don't own any. Like Beth, I've always disliked the feeling.
In general, I rarely wear jewelry. I keep trying to change it but it's been a struggle.

My wedding ring is a part of me, so I'm not counting that. I own more bracelets than rings, so team bracelet it is!

I guess I had to say rings! I'm trying to use bracelets but I don't find comfy to have them on my arms.. don't like things on my arms.. I don't even wear a watch..but I like bold bracelets, so I'm making an effort!

I have been given rings to mark special occasions from an early age, birthdays, of course my engagement and wedding and the birth of the girls. I also have my late uncles army ring, Ben's late Grandma's pearl ring and my Mum's topaz ring. In case you have not guessed I'm 100% team rings.

Ooo tricky. I wear my engagement ring daily. I occassionally wear other rings but costume jewellery is tricky to get to fit as small rings are still too big and can't be resized. I have small wrists so bangles are tricky to keep on but chain bracelets are better as I can take a couple of links out myself. I guess team rings but only because I wear my engagement ring daily x

Do you think a woman can look polished and finished with no jewellery at all?

Team bracelets, I rarely wear rings on a regular basis as I worry about losing them.

Mac, I do think that a woman can look finished and together without any jewelry at all. Perhaps I say that because I often go without jewelry, but I think there can be something nice about a minimalist, clean look.
