Girls' best friends

Girls' best friends are diamonds, or any other jewelry. Why this is so and what kind of girls are (and by the way, not only they), depending on their attitude to embellishments, reasoned the author of "Cleo" Elena Timofeeva.

I read somewhere that according to the rules of good manners, a woman should wear no more than 20 jewelry and accessories at a time. The first reaction was surprise; it was quickly replaced by indignation: so much? Then I read more closely: bags and glasses (even if they were for vision correction), a belt, and pectoral crosses, and wedding rings, and scarves were taken into account … 5 items. And yet - there is enough space for decorating yourself with your beloved.

I wonder why we women love jewelry so much? Psychologists like to refer us to the primitive period. They easily explained our desire to equip life around us, monogamy inherent in us by nature, and much more. But I have never seen an explanation of the "magpie" living in most of us. My version is that a woman loves to decorate not only everything around her, but also herself. That is why without cosmetics we are like without clothes; without new clothes in the wardrobe, the season starts badly; and without jewelry - like, and not women … Or jewelry - this is for us the most budgetary option for the inclination to change and renewal. Well, or in primitive times, jewelry was rather amulets that protect against evil forces. And both sexes wore jewelry. But over time, men realized that being hung with "spillikins", it was difficult to fight and hunt and got rid of these rudiments, and women - got a taste, and "defend themselves from evil forces" to this day.

Without cosmetics, we are like without clothes; without new clothes in the wardrobe, the season starts badly; and without jewelry - like, and not women …

According to my observations, all women can be divided into several categories according to their number and the type of their jewelry:

- those who have a lot of jewelry;

- those who have a lot of them;

- those who have jewelry made only of precious metals;

- those who have few ornaments.

And of course, those of us who don't adorn ourselves at all. But this case is rare and often easily explainable, only the explanations are different in each case. And since there are no such women among my acquaintances, I will not take the liberty of writing about them.

Let's start with those who have a lot of jewelry. Many for various reasons: either they themselves cannot resist buying another little thing; or they are often presented with jewelry; or there are a lot of decorations, because before us is a conscious fashionista, who has matching accessories for each set in her wardrobe. Such girls are usually a little frivolous, but in general they are wonderful friends, they are optimistic about life, sociable, not too complex. And most likely, this is the most common type of woman.

Women can have a lot of jewelry for several reasons:

- they love themselves very much and are not limited in funds;

- they are very fond of everything beautiful, and they are simply not able to resist a bright brooch;

- well, they are very picky in nature, and friends simply do not know what else to give them, except for jewelry;

- Once upon a time a strict mother forbade them to wear short skirts, paint and - wear jewelry, so now they "come off".

In general, in such women everything is "very". Often, they are very fond of bright makeup, are very amorous and temperaments, very often they change jobs - everything is a little over the edge.

What is the main sign that you have too much jewelry? You often find among the jewelry those that you have not only forgotten about the existence, but never even suspected, and besides, you would not have put on such in life.

Quite often there are women who do not recognize costume jewelry and prefer jewelry made of precious metals to it.

Quite often there are women who do not recognize costume jewelry and prefer jewelry made of precious metals to it. Moreover, I paid attention to the fact that the number of precious jewelry in this case does not depend at all on the financial situation of their owner. Indeed, Jewish wisdom is right: whoever wants, seeks ways. By the way, the reasons are also easy to find: not all jewelry owners recognize themselves as snobs (and who of us would become?) - often the dislike for jewelry is explained by an allergy to base metals. And often it is. In any case, based on my observations, such women are quite cold by nature, a little arrogant and in most cases very successful in their careers (firstly, you need to earn money for jewelry; secondly, they need to be “walked” somewhere) …

As for those of us with little jewelry, there are two explanations:

- YET it is not enough, just haven’t “got it” yet - for various reasons; love for jewelry comes gradually, some earrings pull the beads along with them, and so gradually - there are already a lot of jewelry;

- just not enough. Because either a woman pretends (even without voicing it out loud) to originality, hints at the complexity of her nature, implies simplicity of taste; or - prefers something else as an "outlet" to relieve stress and improve mood. Sportswomen and extreme sportsmen, for example, do not really need jewelry: adrenaline is also enough.

Men, in my opinion, can also be classified according to their attitude to accessories and jewelry:

- metrosexuals (comments are superfluous here; accessories in this case are an integral part of the image; many of them can be called men at a stretch)

- informals (again, they do not need comments; accessories for them are a way to indicate their ideological affiliation; these are also hardly men - at best, boys, at worst - "eternal boys")

- originals (a small part of men who like to stand out, to be different from the rest; most often their love of jewelry manifests itself in a bright color of a watch strap, a man's leather bracelet, a large unusual "signet" ring, an amulet or a thick chain around his neck; and they are exactly the category of men who are really able not only to notice accessories on a woman, but also to appreciate them)

- lovers (men who wear jewelry presented by their beloved woman; the category is small and less and less common in adulthood)

- everyone else (they think that wearing accessories or jewelry is “unmanly”, so they don’t engage in nonsense; at best, they will notice that the woman “looks good”, but delve into how she did it - won't even try).

This was a subjective opinion based on personal observation. And in general, no matter what jewelry predominates in your box, no matter how many or few of them there are, "there is no harder work than trying to look beautiful from eight in the morning until midnight" (Brigitte Bardot), therefore, whatever helps us in this difficult business - thank you all!
