I believe you are wrong in stating that Paul and Peter's point was that we are not to adorn ourselves with Jewelry. Rather it should be done in moderation. Else both are condemning the wearing of clothes also. Which we both know cannot be.
1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or
of putting on of apparel;
By the same token. Paul would be saying women cannot fix their hair. Yet no one teaches that.
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;
One cannot use these passages to condemn, one thing yet allow other things in the same verse. One must be consistent with the whole verse, else you are not understanding the meaning of the verse.
