For the same reason they wear clothes. We need clothes for protection from the weather and social humiliation, yes, but why the particular clothes? This can be approached through a series of questions, like:
Who gets to choose the outfit/accessory and in what percentage?
This refers to the direct choice as in: 'I bought it.' or 'My mother made me wear it' exc.
What are the main drives behind the choice? Usually this sums up to social acceptance, group acceptance/identification and giving off difference/eccentricity.
What is the direct (mainly) and the distant (less) social environment(/s) in which the person in question 'lives'?
Obviously the answer is as varied as the human populace but generalities can be derived. Also note the distinct differences between arms wear: An expensive bracelet isn't usually worn for the same reason as an Armstrong plastic, though that is not necessarily true.

Recently some wristbands have been tied to charity causes. People love to look like they care deeply about stuff, and some of them actually do care about stuff. The most famous is the "Live Strong" wristband that Lance Armstrong made popular, but after that craze plenty of other causes and groups made their own wristbands. I remember one for support of troops in Iraq, one for fallen police officers, and the Chicago Cubs even made one to show donations to their charity. It's kind of like in the early 90s when people started wearing ribbons. It started with the AIDS ribbon, then branched out to the Gulf War, Breast Cancer research, and eventually blowhard Rush Limbaugh was instructing his listeners to make their own ribbons out of dollar bills to show how greedy they were.
Some people wear a wristband that they recieve at a concert or event long after the required time, maybe because they liked that event and hope that the wristband is a way to make it part of the conversation.

A diamond necklace and matching earrings would look good, and you should put your hair in a cute updo. Also, some silver strappy heels or even flats would look nice. If you don't like necklaces much, you should at least wear some kind of belt with the dress so it doesn't look too plain.

I had an English teacher that used to call bracelets "shackles" and necklaces "collars"... this was when she would be on one of her "men are evil" rants... she'd tell us that women are still slaves but our chains, shackles, and collars were just prettier these days. Not sure if that helps but I always got a chuckle out of it!
