Being nosey
I have a variety of pendants and brooches, some are obviously pagan, like my pentacle, green man and goddess pendants and my fabulous bronze Sulis brooch, but others wouldn't be so recognisble to non-pagans, although they would have me down as a nature lover as they are of various wildlife. I have a hare pendant and brooch which I absolutely adore too, and a celtic style silver brooch with amber coloured stones which my cousin gave me. So what jewellery do you wear that is both obviously pagan and not so obvious? Which is your favourite and what does it mean to you?

I have two Goddess pendants that I tend to wear: one is made of volcanic rock and I tend to wear it underneath my clothes, the other is silver Goddess holding up three gold crescent moons. I also have a silver pentacle with a moonstone in the centre which Vert bought me and is very special to me for that reason. All very obviously pagan but since I'm "out" of the broom-closet anyway it doesn't matter. I do have other "dressy" jewellery, but don't wear other necklaces etc as I wear the Goddess or my pentacle all the time. I'd feel naked without them and only take them off when I'm in the shower or in bed.

my Pent. it's a St Justin plain pewter uncircled pentie and I love it to pieces. My mum bought it for me just after we moved to Cornwall, and I always wear it, so it's very special to me.
I've got a few other pentie jewelleries, a ring and a bangle, but these are just decorative to me, although the bangle was a present and I bought my mum the same ring.
other than that, the only really Pagan thing is my hagstone, which I wear on a cord, at about collarbone level.

Er...I've got a couple of pents, an anglo-saxon style necklace and a celtic style necklace with opal on it. Out of all of them, my favourite is the opal one. The opal is also the one that means the most to me.
I hardly ever wear necklaces though as I'm convinced I have a fat neck

I'm not much of jewelry wearer except for rings and a watch but I have a pendent of silver of a celtic knot and a vermilian (gold and silver mixed) Celtic Torque and a stone pendent. I have no clue what the stone is (light brown with a dark chocolot brown spot on it) that I bought at a flea market. My ring is silver circles and a Claddagh ring I bought in Dublin.

I always wear my pentie- visible mainly but I don't go round putting it on display- it swings

I wear my dragonfly earrings a lot and I have lots of crystal jewellery that isn't necessarily pagan- a big chunk of amethyst (square cut stone, 2.5cts!) that is my favourite (but kind of looks like a knuckle duster its so big!).
I don't wear much jewellery, most of it has been presents so it means something more to me than just being a symbol of my faith/belief system- but then jewellery is more than just metal/stone deep

I've got a small silver pentagram that I usually wear constantly, but haven't worn it for about a month as the chain has broken *must get it fixed*.
I've also got a slim silver bracelet with runes craved into it, and a chunky 1920s style silver bracelet with a large piece of Tiger's Eye in it. Both were 18th birthday presents.
I've got lots of rings, but I wear very few of them. I always wear my silver Celtic band, which is a temporary engagement ring - the bf ahs one as well. I've got a Gimmal ring that my mum bought me when i was 15 that I adore, it's a three part ring that is a male hand holding a female hand, and when you open it out there is a heart clasped between the hands.
I'm trying to find some small charms - like the ones for bracelets - of a fox, an otter and a crow, but without much luck. I've found large ones, but I want little ones. Anyone got any ideas where I could look?

I've got a goddess pendant that I took off a set of pagan prayer beads to wear as a neclace - I wear the beads as a bracelet. I have a crescent moon shaped crystal I always wear for scrying, general good feeling and cleansing.
I just bought two goodess wrist cuffs to wear for the Yule ritual. I can't wait.
Oh, I've got a pentagram but it scares so many people at work, so I don't wear it too often. Then there's my celtic necklet. I love my jewelry.
I still want a )0( necklace.

I wear a dragon triskele necklace (celtic dragons, so they look more like dogs than fire breathers) and a pentie ring all the time. They never come off unless I'm doing something daft like going in a sauna. I have lots of jewellry I could wear, but went through a spate of losing stuff and haven't liked to in case it vanishes. I had a really nice owl brooch, but it must have dropped off my coat without me noticing because all of a sudden it wasn't on there any more.

I have my pentacle, keep it well tucked beneath my shirt though..
I had a really cool bracelet, it was a viking snake coiling around my hand, but half of it broke of and I lost it..
Other that that, I got my viking ring..

I have a bog standard silver pentagram that I never do ritual work without - it's been consecrated/blessed at Samhain on the anniversary of the formation of my coven. Likewise, I have a lovely little Isis pendant brought from Egypt by a good friend - she's been consecrated too. I wear her when I feel vulnerable, or in need of a good long talk with Isis. I also have ankh pendant & bracelet that I bought from an antique/import shop in Chester. I always smile when I put them on as the shop owner gifted me an Isis papyrus when he discovered it was my birthday that he knew a good friend of mine. I do have a triscele, but that's just decorative... in fact I have a lot of jewellery! Show me shiny things and I'm gone!
Though I did get to try on a £33,000 (yes, that's 33 thousand pound!!) diamond solitaire in a jewellers yesterday. I'd gone in to look at a pair of silver & garnet earrings & the young punky lad behind the counter saw me staring (maybe it was the drool!

), unlocked the cabinet and handed it to me to try on. Oh. My. Goddess.... *thud* It was 7.5 carrats..... *thud* I never did look at the silver & garnet earrings!!!

Ouch.

Diamonds are scarily expensive Galena - I get nervous wearing my engagement ring but would never take it off! (except when washing my hair or cleaning the oven)
Obviously pagan - I wear a little pent encircled by an eternity serpent on a necklace most days
Less obvious - the Spiritualist bought me a beautiful silver and onyx crescent moon pendant from MoonMaiden's stall last Scarborough moot, and no-one at work seems to connect it!

My pent, hardly ever comes off. The star is encircles by a thick band with the ancient signs of th planets on one side, and other 'arcane symbols' I have yet to work out on the other. Have a pent ring I wear if I'm not wearing the pendant. Other than that, I'm like Mordra, shiny things and I'm gone (was either a magpie or a drag queen in a former life!) I have many bracelets and rings made of various crystals which I wear according to my mood or anything I need a 'nudge' with.

A gold pentacle necklace that I wear most of the time - Niord wears an identical one. I also have a goddess necklace in silver with a blue inset stone but the chain has broken so have to get that one mended.
I also have a silver pentacle which I wear less often.

I have more Pents than I know what to do with; I love them all but very often only wear a couple. I've collected numerous through gifts from other people and bought a few others myself - I do try to alternate; especially the pendants as they all are made from different materials, in different styles with or without gemstones - so there's something for practically every occasion.
One of my favourites is a copper disc pendant with an interlocking Pent surrounded my Runes. A dear friend gave it to me (thanks Dreamingshaman) and I still treasure it to this day!
I have a small silver ring with a small Pent on it that I wear on my right hand pinkie and I never take it off. It's simple and doesn't draw much attention. I also recently bought a silver Pent bangle which is a circled Pent, sided with cresent moons. It was a bargain that fell into my lap and again, I seldom take it off.
I have other types of jewellery (lots of silver); mostly rings and pendants. I like crystals and gemstones and things with swirls or natural imagery, so they're not overtly Pagan unless someone of a like-mind is looking at them.

Most of the jewellry I have ever possessed has been lost, stolen or broken, so although I like some kinds of jewellry I tend not to buy or wear any. I still have my battered old bronze pent on its original black leather thing after 15 years. I might wear it again some day but atm it sits hanging over my desk.

I wear my pent ring which i've had for years all the time even tho it has come apart on the underside - been looking for a new one had no luck so far! I also wear a 'celtic band' style ring and a recent aquisition which i'm very taken with, a raven head ring! It's a bit chunky but lovely to look at.

I had a nice triquetra but people kept associating it with charmed (which I despise) so I took it off. I've now worn my pentagram for well over a year, just a small pewter one.
Rings, I have two I wear all the time. One my brother bought me 2 years ago, silver with moons and stars etched into it. The other is my engagement ring which I've had since August and am paranoid about losing. Have to take it off at college.

Until a few days ago, my 'jewellery' consisted of a claddagh ring. Now I have a silver pent and a silver triquetra, thanks to my youngest. She wasn't sure which path or deity I followed (her words) so she bought both, along with a chain.
