Jewellery Code for Professionals, Angadia and the Economics of Gold Digging

Jewellery Code for Professionals
Are you getting ready for an interview? Not sure what jewellery to wear. As we adopt western attire at work we might as well pick some cues on how jewelry laden one should be. Virginia Tech has a simple guide on Interview Attire with excerpts here(via Jewelry Design Depot).


Jewellery code for Men:
Wear a conservative watch. If you choose to wear other jewelry, be conservative. Removing earrings is safest. For conservative industries, don't wear earrings. Observe other men in your industry to see what is acceptable.

Jewellery code for Women:
Wear a conservative watch. Jewelry and scarf styles come and go. Keep your choices simple and leaning toward conservative. Avoid extremes of style and color. If your industry is creative, you may have more flexibility than someone pursuing a conservative industry.
