The only jewellery I wear is my watch and medic alert bracelet. I've nothing against crosses or jewellery, it's just not something that ever comes to mind. If I were inclined to wear jewellery, I'd have no problem with a cross.

YES, I went out and bought one right after I left. I wore it all the time at first. Now I switch it out with other jewelry I have. It is the universal symbol of Christianity. I want people to know I am a Christian. But I also realize a lot of non-christians wear them.
This is my first cross. I wear if almost every day. Made by a famous Mexican artist, over 50 years ago. It is sterling silver, onyx, brass, with a turquoise stone. I truly feel more peaceful when I wear it.
For a long time I thought I'd have a problem wearing a cross. When I visited Bogota, Colombia, full of churches and tiny stores selling religious artifacts, I purchased a really beautiful rosary for my brother's Irish Catholic girlfriend. I also visited some amazing churches and, although I'm not currently practicing any religion, I found some solace in them. After we got back, I started wearing my husband's silver rosary as a fashion accessory, sometimes even wishing that I'd run into my old Witness "friends" while I have it on!
No, my wife does however.
btw, I never knew that crosses showing Jesus still on there are offensive to certain people.
I did before i was a witness and had a st christopher which my lovely aunt gave me. She has just passed away and i really wish i had kept it now.
If i did wear one it would just be a small plain gold one, though i have tons of nice jewellery and never wear any of it but tbh i don't think i could wear one just yet even as a fashion thing.
