Some really great points have already been brought up, but I will ask those that adhere to doctrines condemning jewelry the following questions, if they care to answer:
1. Is jewelry inherently evil? If so, how?
2. Does the Bible teach us spiritual principles, or have we lost the rest of the list of “do’s” and “don’ts”?
3. Is it our duty, or an organization’s duty, to determine the intent of the heart regarding a Christian’s dress preference or their personal style of apparel?

1. Not inherently, just as marajuana isn't inherently evil, but will you also justify partaking of that?
2. Biblical principles is the precise reason why we should reject ornamentation; it walks hand in hand w/ idolatry/paganism & God repeatedly shown His displeasure over it.
3. So, if the song leader got up Sun. morning in a bikini to lead service, would that reflect at all on the condition of her heart? "You shall know them by their fruits."
