I thought it might be interesting to see what you guys wear, apart from a watch, when you go out for dinner, celebrate birthdays, weddings and so on.
I have three standard sets, I wear them when I feel like it:
The ring and tie needle I got when I graduated from military school. The ring - The Blue Nile made by Spies Brothers 1956 and the tie needle, both 18K with sapphires and diamonds.

The ring my father got when he turned 18 in 1937, amber with his initials JC.

The ring my aunt got when she turned 18 in 1942, amber but with no initials.

nice jewelry M and a nice history behind it.
I got this 2 chains, 20 years back a goldsmith did for me, I wear them alternately just as I feel


the king chain and the frame of the pendant is 14k gold, the coin is 24k gold printed 1966 to the 75. birthday of Haile Selassie I, the king of ethopia. the pendant is screwed from the back.

the king chain is 14k white gold and the pendant 14k white gold with a 14k yellow gold symbol.
the symbol is a west african adrinka symbol from ghana, calles Gye Nyame. the meaning is to except for GOD

Wow,some nice pieces of jewelry here,from both of you.The Haile Selassie trumps them all,though,hands down
To a more serious note,I wish I had something to show here,but I haven't got any jewelry except for a thin white gold wedding ring that wouldn't even qualify for this thread.

for an old Cuban in Miami, I do not wear much jewelry ... maybe it's because I grew up in the 80's watching all these drug dealers wearing gold chains and watching lots of Miami Vice ... I'm not a fan of yellow gold
I may wear a leather bracelet with some sterling silver accent pieces ... a John Hardy or King baby silver bracelet or chain
I have a chain with a genuine Greek Tetradrachm pendant .. cool history stuff
