I personally don't wear any jewelry at all (not even a wedding ring), but not from a righteousness standpoint -- I just don't like the way it feels on me. My wife, however, wears jewelry almost daily. Since she started, I haven't noticed her walk with God grow any weaker -- in fact, it seems to have grown stronger (at least from what I can tell).
When I stand before God to account for my life, I don't think you will be there. And, when you're standing before God, I won't be there. It will be just Him and me, and I pray that I (and you) will be ready.
