Also, do not ask “is that real?” This so rude, it might be a very cheap knock-off, or a very expensive precious-material piece, either way, it’s not anyone else’s business. I was once approached by a stranger on the street who wanted to know what my bag cost, I was floored. It was only a decent leather bag, not a designer one, or expensive. One time, an acquaintance asked me at a restaurant dinner “is that a diamond watch!?”. I was so embarrassed in front of a lot of people. Some people save for years for, or inherit, a nice item, some wear inexpensive look-alikes, so what? I think this is a mostly-American, very tacky thing. I can say that, I’m American.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I had plenty of embarrassing moments outside the US, though. I own amber jewelry, and several times people said how nice it looked- "almost like the real stuff". Well, it IS real amber, that's why. Same for my gold bangles. "Only" 14ct, but real enough. ;-) I always smiled graciously and said, "It _should_ look real, because it IS." - People need to stop after, "Ooh, how pretty." ;-) :-D

[@sanijad9smiles]

IMO it’s perfectly fine to ask someone what their bag or jewelry, etc costs. Maybe they like it and want to buy it for themselves. I have no issue telling ppl how much something costs, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

[@MariaElena-id8vw]

Yup! On point! It also happens with latin and chilean people! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Inappropriate!

[@cactusmilo918]

Unfortunate situation! on personal thought, I do not see shame on wearing man created stones or cubic zirconia/swarovski crystals or custom jewelry. If you love a piece, brings you happiness or memories from a dear one, cheap or expensive and suits you, wear it with pride and love. As annoying an impolite that question you were asked is, if it happens again just reply what it is quickly and graciously and change the subject of the conversation to deviate the attention from it. Unfortunately not everyone has prudence or manners.

[@redsky3696]

Just don't wear / use Branded fake items. 🤭 it's just a no no. If want use original or high class items, use original brands that one can afford as long it's not fake.

[@MT-zg2od]

The founder of the Bulgari brand is Sotirios Voulgaris was actually greek. He was born in March 1857 and came from the Epirus Village of Paramythia, the center of silversmithing in the Balkans. . In 1881, Sotirios Bulgari moved to Rome and, in 1884, opened his first store on via Sistina 85. In 1905, he unveiled the Via Condotti shop that would become the company's flagship. In its early years, Bulgari was known for silver pieces that borrowed elements from Byzantine and Islamic art, later he was turned to Art Deco.

[@Anna-Anna53]

Thankyou for that history, its nice to know. Always interesting.

75% of the content was obvious to me, i was already applying these rules without knowing they are “rules”, but i still enjoyed the vid. It’s a pleasure to listen to her and those jewelleries are stunning ❤️

I love nothing more than a few strands of perfectly matched Mikimoto pearls. Where I live in the South, a girl’s first fine jewelry is often a strand of pearls given to her by her father on her birthday. If they belonged to her grandmother even better. Then her husband will give her a double strand or a pair of pearl earrings for her wedding.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Lovely tradition. Where in the South do you live?

[@clementineclement5757]

Yes, you are so right. Here In France it's almost the same tradition in upper class families : at the age of 16, the daughter receives her fist pearl necklace, and 2 pearl ear studs as well. When she's grown-up, parents of spouses will indeed add more; One things always remains true : you can never go wrong with a pearl necklace and ear studs, whatever the time of day and activity, and you keep elegant from 16 ... to 106 ! Also did you know that thieves are not keen on stealing pearl jewels ? They'll steal all the rest, diamonds, etc.. but will avoid pearls, because there's a superstition among them that it will bring bad luck , " the bad eye/ le mauvais oeil" onto them !

[@Poodle_Gun]

The rest of the country used to go by a chivalric system, before the central government put it's own system into place. This is really apparent in Old West and gangster movies (non mob).

I went to Bulgari Jewelry store last week, the sales associate told me that he went to Italy for a biz trip. The most Bulgari jewelry sale in No.1 county is Singapore , and 2nd county is Japan. Thank you for sharing this necessary information about Jewelry Etiquette. The women improved themselves and improve living standards.🎉

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks for sharing this! I did not know it actually

[@zoe7359]

Very interesting. I agree with you in everything and would like to add one thought: In the Corona period with masks and frequent hand washing, I do not take rings and earrings outside of the home. Brooches, (very pretty with cashmere sweaters or in combination with a plain-colored blouse) are making a comeback.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

They are. You are right

[@cactusmilo918]

Love brooches on long fall-winter coats too ✨

[@Ckawauchi35]

I stopped wearing rings since the pandemic, too!

[@shaaaairuuu]

What I love about being South Asian is all the beautiful bold jewelry. I own way more than I ever need haha I have an obnoxious collection. I always have a gold chain and a diamond nosepin on with the idea that even if I ever run out of time and I have to get dressed and leave, I still have something on!

[@zarinlubna5437]

So true. I'm always wearing a pair of dainty earrings and rings. They often look good with most outfit.

[@Salma_xx]

I didn't know I've been following many of these Ettiquettes without even knowing. I'm grateful to you for this video. Please consider doing a video on your journey of becoming an Ettiquette teacher and opening your own kids gym. Thank you .

[@miraalhasan8600]

Thank you Jamila. It was interesting as always. Like you, I enjoy a more coherent look. I do not mix yellow and white gold, and I like to wear matching pieces from the same set together. It was new information to me that you should only wear 1 pearl piece at a time. When I got my pearls, I chose earing and a necklace that match so that I would wear them together. Had I known this before, I might have not limited myself to buying matching pieces only.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@silviafricova9296]

Beautiful video. Those jewelry pieces are simply stunning! Thank you for great content you make for people like me on self development journey.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you!

[@preranajoshi2661]

I loved this video so much because I have been growing my interest in earrings and diamonds. As an Indian, we wear very heavy jewellery for special occassions but I always follow only stacking 2 areas (like neck and wrist, or ears and fingers) as you mentioned!

[@priskruger314]

Very excited for this vid! I did have a coworker who wore a row yellow gold bangals on her right arm and silver or white gold set on her left. I absolutely loved it. It opened up the idea of on one arm white rings and bracelets and other yellow. I also love ecclectic bracelets. Its so exciting to see on others as well. It's mysterious because you can not take it all in as w simple elegant small delicate jewels which I also love haha. Third point I loved the massive rings Tilda Swinton wore in Io Sono L' amore. It seemed to be her only accessory in some scenes and I love that sometimes 1 bulky gorgeous ring is all you need. Definitely do not mix all of these styles though haha.

Your speech is charming, but I thought you would like to know that the last syllable of accessories (noun, pl.) rhymes with ease, not eyes, so it’s ak-ses-sor-ease. Now, in the verb form to accessorize, the last syllable does rhyme with eyes, so ak-ses-sor-eyes. That’s English, for you, it rarely makes perfect sense. Enjoyed the video, thanks🙂

I disagree about pearls, my favorite. I wear small pearl earrings with a simple pearl necklace all the time. All my pearl items are already “cut with” yellow gold elements, such as visible findings, beads or station-link chains, and are small and understated, even adding a simple pearl and gold bracelet is fine. I don’t like layers of those big, traditional “pearl” strands, though, it’s outdated. I used to buy white gold because my pro color analyst insisted, but I never enjoyed it, so I switched to yellow and am much happier with it. Now I want to replace my white gold items. I say, go with what you love, jewelry mistakes are so expensive!

[@mimisler]

i have always read that wedding and engagement rings don't count for ring and stacking rules, since you're sort of obligated to wear them, and i was wondering if you could speak to that. it might be an outdated rule, or a peculiarity of Christian culture, since i know not all religions have such an emphasis on wedding and engagement rings, or even use them at all.
