Is jewellery part of a lifestyle?

What is the purpose of jewellery? what does it make you feel like? can it be used to transform ugly duckling into beautiful swan or old scruffy jeans into shorditch trend icon? I think it can do all of these things and more, jewellery to me is wearable art, an expression of how you are feeling or how you would like to feel, access to beauty, glamour something which makes you feel appreciated and can be appreciated in its own right. My jewellery is the first ice breaker when you walk into a room and don't know anyone, a distinctive way of expressing yourself or a subtle way of carrying something sacred to you with you throughout your day. Jewellery for me is about a whole experience.
