i simply want to know the reason -- other than culture (all cultures, and that includes fashion, which is ruled by the culture) -- that people wear decorative jewelry. i'm simply curious if there are some non-cultural, i.e. practical, reasons. i am at a loss for an answer and thought BY thinkers might have one.
thanks for permission to air my opinion about decorative jewelry. it is off topic.
agree opinions are not right or wrong. everybody should feel free to offer theirs. (lurkers: take notice) ... and do whatever their culture (such as fashion) allows.
Well sure, there can be a lot of reasons beyond....it's pretty, looks cool, fashionable.
