[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless I am going to a special event, I don't wear my jewelry partly for safety and partly out of solidarity. I grew up poor just a few blocks from my current ultra-gentrified address. Mere steps away yet an entire world apart. I cannot bring myself to walk around here wearing jewelry valued more than the household income of some of my neighbors. I think it would make me look like an asshole. Safety is still a concern around here so I don't take unnecessary chances but respect for my less privileged neighbors is the main reason. [/quote] That's weird. If you are so guilt-ridden by the trappings of your new found wealth, why have such ostentatious jewelry at all? Why wear jewelry that you say makes you look like an asshole to the poor folks. I'm sure the unwashed in your old neighborhood are grateful for your solidarity. Personally, I think buying jewelry valued more than anyone's household income is tacky. And I'm not even poor!
