Jackmountain: "I" have never bought a piece of jewelry for myself - other than if YOU consider a watch "jewelery". I no longer even wear a watch and haven't since I retired 24 (twenty four!) years ago. I do have a wedding ring that my wife bought me and I keep it in a safe place in one of my safes. I think earrings and necklaces and bracelets and "gawdy" rings on men is extrafaggy - no offense meant sacharlie, fubarski, turdquinn et el. MANY years ago I got the "hots" for a piece of jewelry made with one of the Bull Elk "Ivories" I had harvested over the years - but again the [bleep] of that stopped me from going through with having anything made. I would MUCH rather spend my hard earned dollars on guns and ammunitions. In fact I bought some munitions today in the next state south of me. Rewarding and enjoyable that.

Never any jewelry. A plain waterproof Seiko watch on a black rubber band is my constant companion. On the very rare occasions that I have to dress "up" I wear a stainless Omega with stainless band.

Just a wedding ring and couple of Glocks.
On rare occasion I put on an AK... but most days it just stays in the car/truck.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

No jewelry for me..... Never wore a wedding ring as I've always worked around high voltage so just couldn't get used to wearing one when I wasn't working.

Saint Christopher necklace that I got in 1992. Only been off once for an X-ray. First wedding band is in some canal on Ocracoke Island. Second band is in the gun safe since it comes off really easily due to the taper of my fingers. Think thick fingers, no knuckles. I do like nice watches and wear different ones on different occasions.

I wear my wedding band on a chain around my neck.
That's it. I can't stand even to wear a watch.
I think male jewelry is pretty gay as a rule. Especially the ear rings. I have never owned a watch.

Watch, but strictly to tell time. Wore the wedding band for about a week and near ripped a finger off when it hung up on a tractor fender. It's lived in Cookie's jewelry box for the last 49 years.

A watch isn’t what I’d consider jewelry. Unless it’s a blinged out diamond encrusted monstrosity. Id like an Omega Ocean Planet. Just take some getting used to since I haven’t worn one in at least 35 years since I had a swatch. I heard Airforce pilots got big watches. Dunno is it's true

Workplace safety rules prevented me from wearing jewelry for 40 years. When I retired, one of the first things I did was buy a wedding ring as a sign of respect to the wife. What a waste that turned out to be! Three years later we took both of our rings to the gold merchant. When I married the Current, we decided to plant a tree instead of getting rings.
Got some watches, but never wear them. If they were worth anything, I’d sell them too.
Jewelry and perfume ain’t for me. Y’all go ahead.
What fresh Hell is this?

Nothing but a wedding band! No jewelry, tattoos, or weird hair cuts to show my individuality! 🤔 memtb

I used to wear a simple help braided necklace with an elk ivory from my first bull. It broke and I haven't replaced it in many years. Wedding ring is made of whiskey barrel and elk antler but I only wear it on special occasions. No need for a watch, my phone has a clock on it.

For around the neck, a nice long Merriam's turkey spur on a leather strand - and also an elk pearl strung the same way. Also have a racoon baculum given to me by Miles - that goes in the hatband.

Nothing, did wear a wedding band, almost tore a finger off so don't wear it. Same for me with the ring. I got hung up on a rivet holding a piece of trim on a fire engine door. If I were 3 inches shorter it would have degloved me. My dad got his hand caught between a starter and a steering column, I smashed the ring onto his finger. He got his hand out and cut the ring with side cutters. I wear my ring if we are at a nicer social function. I quit wearing watches when I retired. I used to just beat them up anyway. I use my phone and all the cars have clocks in them.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
