Isaiah 3 and jewelry...

[Truthseeker]

I have never been to a church, even cons, that didn't have some adornment such as gold watches, wedding rings, ties, suits, or colorful outfits on the sisters.

Yes, to a modern context. Paul would remind the women, your real beauty is not those things you "wear" -- like hats, curls in your hair, perfume, fancy pumps, dresses and blouses.... your true beauty is _____.

Yes, I agree. We don't wear watches either. Regarding the color of clothes, I'm personally not crazy about loud colors, but the NT doesn't say "not with colored clothes," but it DOES say "not with gold, pearls, or costly array." I do believe, however, that the reference to "costly" here includes the extravagant/showy.
