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?
