[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing good comes from flashing wealth like this in the workplace as a woman unless you’re in a highly compensated role where comp is widely known / standardized - eg consulting or law partner or lobbyist.

And even in those cases, do you want to be wearing a $20K+ bracelet in client facing roles? [/quote]

LOL diamonds in general no longer signal wealth.  All of my 20-something colleagues and relatives are wearing ginormous lab diamond engagement rings.[/quote]

I kind of agree. I feel like diamonds are for people TRYING to signal wealth.
I find myself reaching for jewelry lately that is devoid of any diamonds, or traditional gemstones.

Yes, I am noticing in my circle the choice is either doubling down on diamonds (the diamond pave JUC is never going away it seems) or skipping bracelets but wearing a nice (Cartier/Rolex/Bvlgari) watch.

I think if the economy can turn up after the next election we'll be throwing back to the MJ watch stack era.[/quote]

Yeah but it's more than that. I think tons of diamonds are looking a little gauche lately, and I don't think it's exclusively tied to the economy. I think it's tied to people looking for authenticity in their lives and the kind of people who wear a lot of diamonds aren't the most authentic people, in many cases.[/quote]

What I’ve noticed is the people who drip in diamonds or designer jewelry regularly (like as part of their daily “uniform”) usually grew up without a lot financially so once they “make it” (whether that’s making a lot of $ themselves or marrying rich or both), they are excited to signal their wealth externally.

I don’t know anyone who grew up comfortable or wealthy who regularly status signals via jewelry on a daily basis. [/quote]
