Yes, we are Christian and ought to consider the principle found in 1 Timothy to be valid and currently applicable.

1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

I believe when God wants to adorn us with Jewels, he will, and that day is coming, but is not yet.

Read it in it's full context ... Theo ... it's not a call to throw it away .. but for modesty

Similarly, (too,) women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, or expensive clothes,

but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds.

There were many Jewish Christian believers who still went to synagogue including some of the Apostles .... while still living in the New Covenant ...

There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ.

Response by Sam
no, nor do I have a problem with brothers wearing finger rings.

Additional remark by Sam
Nor do I have a problem with a man wearing a necklace of gold or silver or even of cloth (which would be called a necktie).

You're missing the point ... aren't you Theo ... you're argument about jewelry is based on prooftext ... and tradition ...

Bogus, it is in it's full context save to those that disregard it. There is no endorsement otherwise. Our Jewel fest is waiting on down the road, but for now we obey the Word of God and maintain a restraint for the things of this world. That which awaits us makes the things of this world look like dime store renditions. I'll obey the Word and practice delayed gratification.

Furthermore, consider:

1 Peter 3:3

1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

The NT teaches in 1 Timothy:

Tim. 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Most would agree that this verse is addressing an excessive focus on these things and not the abolition of their use. Second witness is I Peter 3.3; "Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel--rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

These scriptures to not abolish the use of jewelry, wearing of clothes, but it is telling us to be real and authentic wouldn't you agree?
