Survey Says: What is your favourite type of jewelry?

Each month, we have a little contest where we give away a prize or gift certificate, and while you are entering, we sneak in a question - just a little something to help us understand you and what you really want. (This month's survey is here.)


Last month, we asked:

What is your favourite type of jewelry? Necklaces? Bracelets? Earrings? Sets?
Something else ... ?

The responses surprised me - bracelets are the clear winner! Bracelets came in as the most popular, and earrings came in a little ahead of necklaces. Sets are also extremely popular, and rings have a die-hard following of crazed enthusiasts. You didn't just mention rings - you talked about how you LOVED rings.

You didn't let us forget about the other options either - more than a few of you opted for

• Watches
• Brooches
• Anklets
• Toe Rings
• Hair Accessories

And there was a strong subset voting for "All of the above!" Here are some of your comments:

• Anything that sparkles and shines!! (Hear! Hear!)
• Earrings!! Long Dangly shiney sparkly earrings!!
• necklaces-making them; bracelets-wearing them! (Good point! Your favourite to wear may not be what your favourite is to make! )

• I love bracelets..they not only look fabulous but I can look @ my wrist & see my handi-work @ all times (That's how I feel - bracelets are for me, necklaces and earrings are for others looking at me.)

• Earrings - quick to make and easy wearing (rings and bracelets annoy me when I'm typing; necklaces take longer to make). (I like the speed of making bracelets too. I can finish them before I get bored!)

• I like making earrings. Quick and easy on the pocketbook.

• Definitely Bracelets! Oh and Rings, definitely Rings! Oh wait! - Earrings, yes earrings are my favourite - but wait.... oh why did you have to ask such a hard question?!?
  
  

And finally -

• I love necklaces most. That's not quite true... I would love to wear jewelry in my hair, something on the line of what might have been worn during the Renaissance, that hangs down on the forehead... but I haven't got the nerve. :D (I hear ya - I've always wanted to try that too!)

Anyone remember Marilyn Monroe's character in, I think, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" where she is shown her first tiara - and she is enthralled with it? She says, with open mouthed awe - "Look, a whole new way to wear diamonds!"

Maybe we need a new type of jewelry? Then there would be even more to love!
