Does close inspection handicap accurate report?
Today was A Day, f-list. It was a relief to get to the end of it. And I'm too tired to think of anything original to post, but to preserve my intention of posting every second day: a meme.
1. Do you have a favourite piece of jewellery? Describe.
This is a sort of precursor to the entry I've been meaning to write, but haven't taken photos for yet. I don't have a specific favourite piece of jewellery, but I have a specific type of favourite jewellery. I don't really enjoy dangly things so I tend to stick with small studs in my ears. I don't like the feel of things on my skin, so I don't wear bracelets or necklaces very often. But a few years ago, I bought myself, on a whim, a little brooch: a little mirror shaped like a cloud, with an acrylic lightning bolt attached. And now... well, now I have a lot of brooches.
2. Is there a piece of jewellery that you wear daily? Describe.
I am currently wearing a small pair of sleeper earrings, which I will leave in for a week or so, so there's that. Not really a conscious choice, though; more that I tend to forget them.
When I leave the house, I always put on my watch: analogue, black leather band, white face, gold Roman numerals, given to my by my grandmother for my twenty-first birthday. That was my request; she wanted to give me a long-lasting present, so I said a watch would be just the thing. And because I was the oldest grandchild, she then adopted the idea for my cousins too. "But yours was the most expensive," she said. Because I was the favourite.
3. What is the most costly piece of jewellery you own?
I bought myself a pair of aquamarine studs a few years ago, aquamarine being my birth stone. They were a couple of hundred dollars, but as they were on sale they cost a lot less than that.
4. What piece of jewellery would you secretly (or not so secretly) love to own, but do not? Why don't you?
I have a lot of antique Lalique brooches on my Pinterest brooch board, but I don't own any because I have neither the money nor the lifestyle to support them.
5. Is there a piece of jewellery you once owned but no longer own? What happened to it?
My first watch, the one before the birthday watch, was lovely. I think it was my mother's at one stage, and she had it fixed so I could wear it. It had a mother-of-pearl face and a tan suede band. It just stopped working one day and couldn't be fixed.
