Here is my premise:

In the NT Paul & Peter both wrote against wearing gold as ornamentation. I fail to understand how someone can wear a ring on their hand and it is ok but cannot wear a ring in their ear? My position is safe we wear NO gold period. I would rather err on the side of safety than open the church I pastor up to all kinds of jewelry that I am sure would displease God. I have been careful personally concerning my watch and other things to be very plain without any gold. It is a consistant thing with me.
If your salvation was in Jesus Christ you wouldn't have to "play it safe", you would know the true basis for you acceptance with God. It certainly isn't jewelry or the absence thereof!
