Since I didn't fit standard jewelry for many years and didn't start making my own until my late 20's - I didn't really have jewelry I connected with that way for a long time. Most of what I do have now, I made.
I have a simple hematite and white fiber optic bead necklace I wear when I feel the need for balance/calm and am generally feeling unsure of myself.
I have a necklace made of what they were calling black labradorite & moonstones with a tree & moon pendant that I like to wear a lot as well.
I used to wear a lot of rings but got out of the habit when I started driving a car with manual steering and haven't gotten back into the habit again yet. I have a hard time with rings at times. My fingers tend to swell at first and then relax and, unfortunately, this can lead to losing rings. Also, my fingers are large so it's hard to find rings to fit certain fingers that I like. I tend to futz with and spin rings when I wear them.
I made an amethyst snake pendant necklace for my friend and tattooist, Jill, that I wear sometimes when I'm thinking about her a lot.
The rest depends on my mood.
I'm more likely to dress up and put on make-up (aka war paint) when I'm feeling low/insecure and leave the house.
