I've always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to fashion. I love expressing myself through what I wear, and jewelry is a big part of that. But lately, I've been second-guessing myself. I recently got a ring that I absolutely adore, but it's definitely on the "edgy" side. I started to wonder: is it too much for everyday wear? Can I really pull this off without looking like I'm trying too hard?
The ring I'm talking about has a gothic vibe, with pointed arches and skulls. It represents some of my favorite hobbies and interests, but I worried that others might misinterpret it. I started to feel self-conscious, wondering if people would think it was inappropriate or just plain weird. It made me question my entire approach to wearing jewelry. I really wished men could wear more jewelry without judgement.
I remember seeing another ring that had some controversy around it when it was released. Some people loved it, others didn't. But it made me realize that fashion is subjective. What one person considers "too much," another might see as perfectly acceptable.
After a lot of soul-searching, I decided to adopt a "fuck it, you only live once" attitude. I realized that life is too short to worry about what other people think. If something makes me happy, I should wear it with pride. This was a big shift in mindset for me.
I started small, wearing the ring on days when I felt particularly bold. And you know what? I actually got a lot of compliments! People were drawn to its unique design and appreciated that I was expressing my personality. This gave me the confidence to wear it more often, and eventually, it became a regular part of my wardrobe.
I even have a friend who wears a 3D printed Green Lantern ring to his professional office job every single day. He rocks it! It's a reminder that personal style is all about confidence and self-expression.
If you're hesitant about wearing edgy jewelry, here are a few tips that helped me:
My journey with the edgy ring opened my eyes to the broader world of jewelry and personal style. I began to experiment with different types of necklaces and chains, and I found that a well-chosen piece can elevate any outfit. I've been particularly drawn to rose gold lately. It adds a touch of warmth and sophistication to my look.
I recently discovered a beautiful 3mm/4mm/5mm/6mm/7mm Rose Gold Color Stainless Steel Wheat Braided Necklace Link Classic Curb Chain. It's made of stainless steel, so I don't have to worry about it tarnishing or irritating my skin. I got the 5mm thickness for a subtle but noticeable look. It's become my go-to accessory for both casual and dressy occasions. The rose gold color is so versatile and compliments my skin tone really well.
