About This Quiz

No matter what kind of person you are, you probably, at one point or another in your life, have worn jewelry. Now while some of us like A LOT of bling, (we mean blinding, heavy, neck-breaking and in your face jewelry) others of us like a simple, understated chain with a pendant. Today, we want to find out what your jewelry tastes are. In return for your honesty and your time, we're going to tell you what those tastes say about you. 

Will your tastes say that you've got deep pockets and the class to match it? Or maybe your tastes will reveal that while you do have money, your jewelry choices don't reflect that. Do you like getting creative with your jewelry, so much so that people think you're a freaking genius? Or will your minimal choices and decisions concerning jewelry tell others that you're a modest person who doesn't mind not being in the limelight? 

If you want to find out exactly what your bling, or lack thereof, tells other about you, go ahead and get started on this quiz. If you thought mood rings could tell you a lot about your personality, just wait til you see how you do on this quiz!
