Holiness unto the Lord written on Jewelry?

I'm not sure why that wasn't considered abusive behavior.

Absolutely! Don't even get me started on that repugnant exploitation of youthful beauty and the resulting perversion of innocence. It's the kind of debauchery one might imagine existed in the days of Sodom before the fire fell.

God help us.

[On The Wheel]

Of course, there is this also, written by Solomon.

If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
(Son 1:8-10)


And this, spoken by the Almighty God, no less!!

I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
(Eze 16:10-14)


I know this is not new, but fits here.
