JEWELRY
ANSWERS
Do you like wearing jewelry?
(Answer 1)
Yes, I do! I love to accessorize myself with a necklace, an anklet (ankle bracelet), and a bracelet. Wearing those pieces of jewelry boosts my self-confidence because in our culture jewelry is a status symbol (a possession taken to indicate a personโs wealth or high social or professional position). The respect given to you depends on your overall appearance and of course, that includes the jewelry that you wear.
(Answer 2)
Well, I do like wearing jewelry, especially when I attend an important occasion. I think jewelry gives a decorative accent (an object used for emphasis) to the clothes that I wear. Actually, I have different types of jewelry but my favorite is a crucifix (a cross with an image of Jesus Christ) necklace which is 24-karat gold.
Do you buy jewelry?
(Answer 1)
Well, I love buying any kind of jewelry. As I said, wearing jewelry is part of our culture so from time to time I buy different pieces of jewelry. Just last month I bought a pair of antique (collectorโs item) earrings from an auction house (a company that facilitates the buying and selling of assets such as collectibles) and I must say it was a great buy.
(Answer 2)
Of course, I consider jewelry not just a piece of accessory but also as an investment. My jewelry saved me from taking loans when I unexpectedly lost my job when the pandemic broke out (started). I sold and pawned some of my jewelry to get by (manage with difficulty to live). So, these days whenever I have some extra cash, I make sure to buy some pieces of jewelry because they can surely save me when financial constraints (financial difficulty) occur.
(Answer 3)
Well, I used to (refers to regular action in the past) because itโs a great investment, however, after someone broke in (forced enter) our house and stole my boxes of jewelry, I decided to stop buying and keeping jewelry. Instead, I invest my money in stocks. I donโt own even a piece of jewelry these days but I still do accessorize (decorate) myself with some jewelry by renting some, especially when I attend an important occasion.
What type of jewelry do you like to buy?
(Answer 1)
Thatโs a difficult question to answer because I have almost all types of jewelry and I love buying different types of jewelry. But if I consider the number of pieces of each type of jewelry that I have, I think itโs a necklace. If Iโm not mistaken, I have more than a dozen of them.
(Answer 2)
I enjoy buying bracelets because theyโre just beautiful in my opinion. In fact, I have chain bracelets, tennis bracelets, and cuff bracelets. I wear them on different occasions and for some reason (used to convey that one doesnโt know the reason) wearing them, especially a cuff bracelet, makes me feel unique and confident about myself.
Have you ever sent someone jewelry as a gift?
(Answer 1)
Yes, several times! I gave my mother a ball chain necklace on her 60th birthday and I gave my father a Figaro chain necklace when he celebrated his 60th birthday, as well. Aside from that, I gifted my younger sister a pair of stud earrings when she turned 18.
(Answer 2)
Honestly, I havenโt experienced giving someone jewelry as a gift. I dunno I just havenโt thought about it because most of the time, I buy either material things or experience gifts like amusement park tickets or travel tickets as a gift to someone. But anyway, I think thatโs a good idea, I might do that one of these days.
