JEWELRY
JEWELRY
Roger A. Davis
I wear a pinkie ring made of diamonds, onyx and gold
Handed down by my great grandmother, the story is told
She purchased it in New Orleans at an auction sale
The auctioneer said it came off a pirate ship, which was the tale
Many wear jewelry that carries sentiment
To the wearer, it is priceless no matter what was spent
Engagement rings and wedding bands
Grace the lovers’ hands
Today, piercing is the fad
I’m not into that and I’m glad
Tongue, eyebrow, navel and ear
Just to name a few places where they appear
Other cultures in other countries have traditions
Like bands that stretch ladies’ necks into deformed positions
Men wear breastplates from the needles of the porcupines
And jewelry is made and worn from local mines
There is the functional kind, like a watch worn on the wrist
Hat pin and rhinestone dress, you get my gist
Royalty wear tiaras and crowns at their courts
There are rings, belts and bracelets for winners in sports
For me, a smile is the best thing to be worn
Because it must hurt like the dickens to get any piercing torn
So, don’t frown like you were stuck by a thorn
Be of good spirit and let a grin be what you adorn

There are few useful tips regarding handling of jewellery:
1. Respect the preciousness of your jewellery. Never wear diamond jewellery when doing household works, like cleaning, cooking or gardening. Wear jewellery for proper occasions or celebrations, which are special for you.
2. Avoid any kind of chemical contact with your jewellery. Your nail polish removers, perfumes, hairspray, and other cosmetics can be harmful for jewellery due to presence of chemicals. These chemical can reduce your jewellery shining caused by polishing.
3. When not in use, place your jewellery items in the boxes or cases specially made for them, which are provided by your jewellery manufactures at the time of buying jewellery.
