I can’t see the point in wearing Necklaces

If I have tried to fit in and wear a necklace.

I find it difficult to understand why anybody wants to wear a necklace because when we put the necklace on we can’t see the necklace. it’s only for everyone else who  can see the Necklace.  But we can’t see the necklace ourselves, so isn’t it waste of time even wearing it.

May as well go round the shop and just look at necklaces on display and enjoy them like that, and not pay for them, because if I pay for a necklace the only time I’ll ever see it, is if I open my drawer and look inside at it.  I’ll never see it, only if I look in a mirror at myself.     Quite often people wear a necklace and it’s under their clothes and it’s cold on our skin. I can’t see the point in necklaces.

  • I can but not for to long

    After awhile I feel my neck gets tight and it becomes uncomfortable for me so if I do wear then its not for long

    Its the same when I wear bracelets and rings

  • Same for me. For me it's part of who I am. I like wearing vintage look jewellery and different looking pieces. I don't wear large jewellery, I like small designs.

    I designed and made my own jewellery for years which was relaxing and creative. I can't wear chokers or any necklace touching the front of my neck because it feels uncomfortable and creepy. My favourite type of jewellery is earrings - I hardly notice I'm wearing them. I started wearing watches again for the convenience and style.

  • Hey there, I totally understand where you're coming from, but as someone who loves wearing jewelry, I have to say that it's not just about seeing it. For me, it's about expressing myself and adding a personal touch to my outfits. It's like wearing a cute pair of shoes or a fun hat. It just adds a little something extra. Plus, I always get compliments on my jewelry, which makes me feel good. And if you're concerned about cost, I recently discovered gemstone wholesale for jewelry making, which can be a great way to save money and get creative with making your own pieces. It's definitely worth checking out if you're interested in exploring jewelry-making as a hobby.

  • I have worn them before if I went out on a date and I wore a dress too. I did feel they feel strange. The last time I wore a necklace was January 10th 2018 not since,I have done things that I think other women do so I don’t stand out to much.

  • I don't wear necklaces I don't like the feeling of something around my neck. It makes me uncomfortable.

  • I don't like wearing necklaces. They look lovely and I think people look lovely wearing them but whenever I wear one it feels so tight and uncomfortable and I feel like I'm being strangled which sets off my anxiety so I don't bother with them. I get the same uncomfortable tight feeling with bracelets and rings as well so I don't wear them either.

  • I wear a very long necklace so i can see it. I like tactile pendants on a very long chain - I really enjoy wearing these. 

  • What you've said makes perfect sense to me. My advice would be to not wear a necklace.

    I don't understand most of the things "normal" people do.

  • i used to wear a chain for the distraction i would be chewing it playing with it sliding it through my fingers etc 

  • If you don't like wearing jewellery and don't see the point of it, that's fair enough. I've no problem wearing jewellery myself, although I have to wear medical-grade plastic studs. As I've got older, I've developed a bit of a metal allergy.

  • Years ago I had my ears pierced through peer pressure. Really myself I don’t see the point in wearing earrings and I don’t like the feel of earrings in my ears.  The way I see it my selfies because I can’t see earrings when they’re in my ears and I can’t see jewellery when it’s on me what’s the point in Less it’s a bracelet.  I don’t like cold things on my skin so I’m not keen on necklaces because they’re always cold when you first put them on.  I definitely couldn’t wear big bulky necklaces.  

  • As a woman, I also struggle to understand how other women can wear heavy bulky necklaces and weighty earrings. I bought some tops last year that came with necklaces, which were lovely to look at. However, they were long (down to my waist) and felt heavy, and looked utterly ridiculous on me.

  • I like how small necklaces with interesting designs look. However, I can't understand how women wear bulky jewelry that pulls back their earlobes or overshadows their clothes too much. I wouldn't say I like how big necklaces with colored stones or huge colored beads look. That's why I really like faith based jewelry. Of course, you may think that this is related to my faith. But I'll tell you that I just like their designs. The magnificent designers of Christian jewelry know a lot about minimalism and style. Most of their bracelets, rings, and earrings look discreet and elegant. Don't think I'm looking down on everyone, and I know what style is.

  • I don’t agree, and I also don’t really wear necklaces,  but only because I’m lazy and can’t be bothered to keep putting them on and taking them off as they are fiddly.

    People wear jewellery to decorate themselves. I have piercings, wear lots of rings, and earrings and bangles if I feel like it. I don’t see all of them on me when I wear them, but they are part of my look, and I enjoy them.

  • I'm actually the opposite, or I used to be. I used to love wearing necklaces, rings and bracelets. I loved the look of them and how special they made me feel. Sadly I'm not allowed to wear them anymore but I can't wait for when I can again.

  • some jewellery is symbolic. So being seen isn't always the point. It presence is a reminder to the wearer.

    Of course you will see the necklace when you look in a mirror and a lot of people feel better about themselves when they like what they see in the mirror.

    also how you appear to others can radically effect how they treat you. This is sad but true and particularly true when it comes to physical attraction.

    Lastly worn against the skin jewellery can have sensory effects. Most metal warms to body temperature after you've worn it for a while but the texture and weight of metal is quite unlike fabric. Also some jewellery, I'm thinking particularly of body piercings, is designed to altering the sensations parts of the body feel by stretching, pushing on, rubbing on, shielding or exposing skin.

    There is absolutely no need to wear one to fit in. plenty of women don't wear them.

  • I can't fault your logic Smile I guess people wearing necklaces want to look their best to impress other people (or to look good in the mirror?). 

  • You're perhaps looking for a reason rooted in logic and function. 

    Through the ages, body adornment (including jewellery) has been about signalling, and trying to trigger, or discourage, the behaviour of others. 

    Tattoos, hair styles, clothing, badges, brooches, medals, wrist bands and bracelets, ear rings, nose rings etc were probably all developed initially for this reason, at a time when language was less sophisticated and visual signals could be 'read' even by those in a different tribe, family or settlement

    They might signal a particular job, skill or responsibility; a belief, or religion. 

    They might signal loyalty to a King or Queen. 

    They might be a status symbol, a badge of rank, an indication of extreme wealth, a sign of sexual availability or something designed to trigger fear in an enemy.  Horrifically, they've sometimes been used to signal enslavement, and in the recent past in South Africa, burning tyres were placed around people's heads as a form of modern-day lynching. They were cynically called 'necklaces'.  

    Nowadays, you might wear a discrete necklace for emotional reasons, because it contains something which reminds you of a person, a time, an achievement, or a thing.   People give necklaces as a sign of love, and the recipients wear them as an indication that the love is accepted and returned. 

    Sometimes, for more exploitative and unpleasant people, 'showy' necklaces are given as a form of idiotic macho 'branding' (the message to other men is "she's my property, bought and paid for, and I can afford her, so back off").   

    The point is they've evolved, for these reasons and many others; they weren't 'invented' by someone living in our age. If no one had ever thought of the idea, and someone came up with it for the first time in 2022, they'd have to 'sell' it to you, rationalise it, give you reasons to 'buy in' to the idea, but that isn't the case.

    It's something you either get, or you don't.  It's intuitive. But it's fine either way, isn't it?  

  • Yeah I don't really see a point in wearing necklaces either, and jewellery tarnishes easily too whenever it's worn, but the whole point of necklaces is to wear it, but you can't see it yourself, and maintaining them is a hassle.
