Jewelry is part of dressing up, you wear dresses and jewelry to complement your looks, I dont see anything wrong in that if it is within sensible limits . It is only when wmen go to extreme lengths and it begins to become a status symbol that it seems ridiculous and superficial. It is nice to have a few pieces of jewelry which you can wear occassionally when you attend a formal function or even for daily wear if and when you feel like it ...I wear anything - gold, silver or junk jewelry if it looks nice but dont believe in hoarding or think of it as a status symbol.

Though we cannot negate the fact that gold jewellery is much in demand, but now women also like wearing fashion jewellery. Now buying gold is mostly limited to special occasions like marriage, engagement or anniversary and then they are safely kept in a locker. More and more women have joined offices and workforces so wearing heavy jewellery is not in anymore.
