What jewelry do you wear? What does it mean to you and what might it tell others about you?
Jewelry and practices of personal adornment are found in cultures throughout the world. Jewelry can often hold profound meaning for the wearer. In the West, rings can imply marital status, or belonging to specific social groups. A locket can hold photos of our loved ones. Even ear piercings can hold unique meanings and clue others in to someone's personal identity. In portraiture, jewelry can offer unique insights into the lives and identities of the people immortalized in works of art.
