Do you wear any religious jewelry?

Woah, great site! Don't think I've heard of it before.

I actually found them on Etsy and talked to the owner for a bit before ordering stuff from them. Liked the attitude and the owner, blacksmiths, etc. also being pagans themselves. Always picky with anything ritualistic or symbolic.

I wear a star of David pendant sometimes. I always wear a kippah, but that's technically clothing rather than jewelry.

I used to wear a necklace with "Allah" pendant but it was problematic for the toilets.
Some put the pendant in their mouth when they enter in toilets.

I sometimes wear a moon pendant but never the hand (khamsa) as it's a superstition for me and talismans are forbidden in Islam.

Nope. I don't see any benefit to wearing such a thing and frankly my appearance already strongly reflects my religion, so its not like I need to carry a sign on me.

I wear a Star of David on a thin chain that my wife bought me when in Aruba but I wear it under my clothing.

I have The Sacred Chao tattooed on my thigh. Not sure that counts as jewelry though.

No inscription though.

Hmmm... well I do. Sometimes when I feel I need a bit of "sense of security" or "safety" (? - hard to describe), I wear the Sikh kara, an attractive iron wrist-let, initiated Sikhs wear it but also worn by even non-Sikh Indians so there is no strict rule about this. I first took to the idea when asking about the wrist-let worn by a very close male Hindu Panjabi friend who, though a Hindu, would also wear on occasion with the same idea. I purchased mine at a Gurudwara.

Other items worn, include often certain rings based astrology or "cures" and such. I have my "stone" such as Yellow Sapphire, and Moon Stone. Or I wear jewelry such as a Ganesha coin. Or I may carry a "temple token coin" in my pocket - though this is not really jewelry but is nice coins (all old, collectibles, often more than 100 years old, typically Hanuman coin).

I have varous rings, such as American Indian, that could be considered "charms", not really religious. I also sometimes wear small "lucky charms" such as a bell, a clover symbol on charm, or a small horseshoe charm, actually all pretty much "traditional" charms. But that is more magic than religion. I also may wear magic rings I get from those "Majik" or "Dragon" or "Tarot" type shops or from magicals.
 
I haven't worn jewelry in many years. Used to have my left ear pierced, but I haven't put a ring through it for a long time. I never had much use for wearing watches or rings or anything like that.

I wear a Vergina Sun pendant every time I go out, more or less. Usually I wear a leafy man pendant as well to represent Dionysus. I had a seashell pendant for a little while for Aphrodite but it fell off during a group ritual and I never found it. If the mood takes me I sometimes also wear a yin-yang, a triskelion or a Cernunnos pendant. I try not to have too many on at once or I clink when I walk.
