Do you wear a piece of jewellery that, to you, symbolises your faith or world view ?

Question

What kind?

Answer 1

Yes I wear a pentacle, but I wear it under my shirt. I do not wear it to openly symbolizes my faith or the fact that I am Wiccan because I do not wish to openly attract the negative attention that would come from people that would automatically assume that the pentacle is a symbol of their anti-God (which it isn't) I wear it because I find it a comfort as it is a symbol of protection, and who in this world doesn't want some additional protection from harm in this world.

Answer 2

JEWELERY symbolising our faith-

I do not wear anything personally other than Sacred Thread, though I have a Jaba Mala (Rosary). I wear it only when there is some puja in the house.

We compulsorily wear POONAL (Sacred Thread) a religious symbol for Hindu Brahmins for male members. The hallmark of having gone through the Upanayanam ceremony is the wearing of a Sacred Thread on the body. The thread is circular, being tied end-to-end; it is supported on the left shoulder and wrapped around the body, falling underneath the right arm.

Yajñopavītam has three threads each consisting of three strands. These threads represent

Goddess Gayatri (Goddess of mind),
Goddess Saraswati (Goddess of word) and
Goddess Savitri (Goddess of deed).

It denotes that one who wear the sacred thread should be pure in his thought, word and deed. The sacred thread reminds a Brahmachari to lead a regulated life with purity in his thought, word and deed.

Similarly the married women wear A mangal sutra an Indian symbol of Hindu marriage, consisting of a gold ornament strung from a yellow thread, a string of black beads or a gold chain. It is comparable to a Western wedding ring, and is worn by a married woman until her husband's death.

According to Hindu culture, there are five signs of marital status of women. They are mangalsutra, Toe rings, Kumkum, bangles and a Nose ring. Mangalsutra is the most important among them. These visibily noteable and symbol of a married women.-

The word mangalsutra means an auspicious thread or cord. It is also called thaali or thaaly or mangalyam in Telugu and Tamil in Southern India.

It is probably passed from South India to North India.-

Answer 3

No I don't Meercat. I don't believe it enhances my faith in any way. Advertising my faith is not on my list of priorities. Acting on my faith says so much more than aesthetics will. Jewelry isn't a part of my life anyways.
But I suppose the fact that the only jewellery I own and wear would indicate my faith in God's blessing on my marriage. I wear my wedding ring all the time.

Answer 4

I Wear A Gold Cross

Answer 5

yes, i wear tiny pentacle earings embraced by the crescent moon. these don't advertise my faith because they are small and most people don't notice them, but they do keep me reminded of my faith everytime i look in the mirror. i also wear a beautiful circular silver dragon necklace with gemstones in it because i feel a connection with the spirit of the dragon.
i like to keep my faith personal, so i don't wear anything that screams "i'm a witch!" and attracts unwanted attention.

Answer 6

I wear a holy prayer from the Quran called the Ayat ul Kursi around mr neck,which was brought to me from Saudi Arabia,this prayer hold a great significance to me as i was comforted a lot from it during my childhood and still continue to do so.

Answer 7

I wear a smal silver ring with a CTR on it. CTR means Choose The Right. When people recognize my ring, it lets them know that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Answer 8

Yes. In my job, it's too difficult to wear normal jewelry, so i have, on my keychain, three examples of my own personal faith.
A pentagram, for me, symbolizes the celestial constant of evil.
A spider represents the symmetry of physical union.
And lastly, a skull, as a reminder of encroaching death.
i live my life by it.
i have to.

Answer 9

Yes, I wear a Harmony Ball around my neck on a choker. (Like a cat would wear a bell to prevent it killing/chasing birds) The sounds the charm emits soothes me and I feel it adds a little of Mother Natures harmony into my life. It also stops me from chasing birds...lol!

Answer 10

No. I only wear two pieces of jewelry. My wedding ring (obvious) and my mothers engagement ring (the single most precious thing I own since I'm using it for my engagement ring as well. We couldn't afford to buy one so my stepdad gave me my mothers after she died).
