Photo Essay- Symbolic Action -Women Wearing Jewelry

Jewelry.  In some cultures and lifestyles, jewelry is a girl's best friend.  Wearing jewelry that looks expensive could symbolize higher class or wearing something that seems older looking could mean it was from a family member or an antique shop. And any type of jewelry could have a deep meaning to it.  But jewelry is the symbolic form of beauty.  Women wear jewelry to feel beautiful.  It attracts the eye and gains attention.  There are also many different ways that women wear jewelry.

  One way women wear jewelry is by completely covering themselves with it.  You can hear a women coming before you see her with all of the jewelry she is wearing  and the way it clangs together.

Other ways women wear jewelry is by only wearing the least amount that they can.  Some women don't want to be overly flashy or stand out so they wear just enough to make themselves feel gorgeous, while still blending in the surroundings.


There are also times when women don't wear jewelry at all.  Sometimes women feel that they don't need jewelry to feel beautiful and that naturally they are confident and feel gorgeous all on their own.  Also, women are sometimes just lazy and forget to put the jewelry they usually wear on before leaving the house.




There are times where women only wear jewelry to special kinds of occasions and events.  For example, weddings or parties or any type of celebration.  While some women wear jewelry everywhere and everyday no matter where they go.  There are so many reasons women wear jewelry and one reason why I wear this necklace in the picture above is because this necklace belonged to my great Aunt Margaret.  She and I were very close and wearing this necklace reminds me of her everyday.  So women have their own reasons to wear jewelry, whether it be an everyday occurrence or only once in a while or to remember a loved one or family member.  Wearing jewelry  can symbolizes beauty and personality.
