Around a year ago, I developed a craving for jingling and jangling as I move, so I started passively looking for the type of jewelry that would do this. From there, I set my sights on the necklaces and bracelets made of coins. I find coin jewelry charming and a bit cheesy, the cruise ship equivalent of spoons bent and soldered into rings. I recently picked one up from a very old man selling antiques on Portobello road and have worn it since. It feels a bit bohemian, even the coins around my neck are not (being old American or British currency, I have not looked hard enough to be sure). Because it fits tight around the neck, the coins neither jingle nor jangle when I move, but there is a phantom clanging that does the job.

makes jingling noises as you move and just a bunch of cute symbols (meaningful or not) in one rockin piece of jewelry

⛓️I have worn both since childhood as protective jewelry. I had to go a few months without the coin bracelet though because I forgot it at the jeweller's when it was being repaired and I flew out the country–cue the worst few months of my life yet.
I don't take the pendant off ever, unless I need to do an X-ray.

🪙I have a bunch of fun charms (mobile charm from a temple recently, Riddler coin in my wallet, a prosperity bead bracelet from an Indigenous artist in Taiwan, etc. etc.) but the most permanent one is the silver pendant my mum made me wear as a child and I literally never take it off except for those chest x-rays, it feels very odd to do so, I feel kind of naked without it.

This will fix you, I promise. But actually, it’s something I have to do for American Style all the time and I think it keeps your heart and mind elasticated.

This changed my life. It makes you feel less like you’ve washed up on the shores of God knows where. Your own slippers and robe far away from home bring comfort and a little glamour — suddenly your suitcase is no longer a plastic-shelled roller bag but a trunk carrying the contents of your life. Complete with an eye mask (as decorative or functional as you need) and whatever knocks you out at night.
