I am having something of a low day. Which, upon reflection, isn't terribly surprising, because even tho' I had a good phone call about something the other day and some fantastic socializing, those aren't enough to offset how this year has been so far.

Anyway, it's the sort of day where I feel the need to drape myself with talismans. In addition to the Necklace That Only Comes Off For Baths (silver ankh, flanked by silver skeleton keys from Rocklove*), when I go run errands today I am going to be wearing my usual giant rings (I feel naked if I leave the house without them), the Big Jingly Key Necklace, and probably the mourning brooch that my beloved [livejournal.com profile] pix_kristin gave me. One of these is for fidgeting with when I feel agitated, one is for reminding me of my safety net of loved ones.

What sort of jewelry talismans do you wear, if any? I love hearing about other people's amulets or iconic jewelry.




*Hello, I am a gothy girl of A Certain Age. I collect ankhs and skeleton keys, and have done for YEARS (even before I ever read The Sandman). I gleefully embrace my clichés, thankyouverymuch.

Hello, I'm a gothy girl of a slightly younger age and it shows.

I have two pendants I rotate through: one is a lovely snake piece my MIL gave me some years ago. The other is an order of the dragon copy, silver in enamel (it's the Hungarian standard, but what is a girl to do?). I also put on a moonstone held by a snake ring, a dragon, a little coiled snake, a *gigantic* aventurine ring, wedding bands, and my grandmother's wedding band. With a pair of snake earrings.
