However, to take a scripture that obviously encompasses MUCH more than jewelry, as OP posted, and try to make it a Biblical edict against jewelry ALONE, is absolutely incorrect, in my opinion.
Oh, not just jewelry, but anything other than a watch and a wedding ring.
And, the watch can be gold and diamond, but it's functional.

And you mine.
Jewelry has no other purpose than to attract attention to ones self otherwise what use is it to wear?
If one is trying to wear something to attract attention to ones self then it is time to ask, "Why?"
