In short, and I have said this over and over, it is not saying it is wrong to wear jewelry and is not saying women are advised against wearing it at all. Otherwise God contradicted His own word. Anyway, we will only repeat ourselves at this point.

Yes indeed. You will continue to teach whatever you feel Paul and Peter are saying and I will continue to teach that the scripture advises against jewelry in light of another christian characteristic that supercedes it.
Which is what most translations are saying based on my understanding and conviction, not tradition. If I was traditional I would say that wearing jewelry will send you to hell. I do not agree with that. It can cause one to head down the wrong direction but jewelry in of itself in my opinion cannot cause that.
