Is it normal to dislike jewelry?

Is it normal to strongly dislike most jewelry?

I don't mind stuff that's organic and handcrafted so much, but metals and heavily machined gems put me off. I don't like the way metal looks OR feels. I don't understand the appeal.

IIN?

Guys: what do you think about jewelry on women?

    I don't like jewelry much because it's useless. It literally has no use other than to cost money and look pretty. It's like a Daddy-money girl. Literally no useful purpose.

    I don't have any opinions or anything of people that wear it and I have a few pieces myself in my feeble attempts to be more stylish, but I just don't care for jewelry because they can't be driven, smoked, eaten, used etc. They're literally useless unless you're McGyver.

    I don't like machine made jewelry either. Most of my jewelry is handmade. I like it simple.

    Different people have diverse likes and dislikes. Well, to me, i'd like to say I am fine to most kinds of jewelry, not like someone who may be allergic to matel jewelry, I am good with those jewelry. But i have to say that I like diamonds best.

    I think you're going to make someone very happy one day. Or sad when they give you a necklace for Christmas and you turn up your snobby nose and sneer: "I only like MANMADE jewelry"

    'Jewelry' looks so weird to me. Jewellery on the other hand :P (language difference)

    I'm not that bothered about jewellery on girls. In my opinion, understated is always better. Big, shiny, sparkly stuff looks garish and tacky to me.

    i think jewelry is pointless and doesn't do anything for a girl. A girl with jewelry isn't going to look any more attractive than one without, in fact, i think piercings, bracelets, and big necklaces are tacky and less attractive.

    I feel you OP! I like raw jewelry much better than machined.

    Here's some examples of what I mean:

    Take stuff like this and wire wrap it... TADA! You have awesome jewelry.

    I used to like wearing jewelry until it got too expensive replacing them. I used to get too drunk and lose my earrings every weekend or break links off of my chain or bracelet. The last jewelry I owned, my girlfriend had possession of it and then we broke up. I hated her enough to never even want it back because she touched it.

    I'm weird, then... I lean more towards the blinky, fake end of the jewellery spectrum.

    For me, it can be one of three types
    *Shiny, with silver and gemstones of some kind
    *Chunky and masculine
    *Handmade as long as it isn't too ostentatious

    I don't really care for jewelry myself unless it's Alchemy. I won't deny it. I love Alchemy.

      Yeah, Alchemy is awesome! I'm not one for jewelry (I hate golden things. Argh.) but I bought their Dragon Cuff Earing and it is WONDERFUL. Now I want to buy everything they have XD

        I have the "Dragon Heart" pendant and absolutaly love the thing. I also have the "Death of a Fairy Pendant" and the "Torquemada Cross". I love their stuff! Just wish they weren't so expensive, though, lol.

          Oh yes, and it is even more expensive if you have to buy them from international webshops...

    Huge waste of money, easy way to spot over-vain people.

    Unusual unique handmade earrings can look very cool. But keep the other jewelry to a minimum.

    I'm not a huge fan of bling. Some women go sooo overboard with it. I really dislike it when men wear jewelry. I just think its looks silly, but I look silly too so it doesn't matter what I think.
