Question:  Dear Greg,

            Does the Bible say that it is wrong to wear jewelry?

Answer:  Dear Sandra,

            No, the Bible does not condemn the wearing of jewelry.  Some Christians believe that 1 Peter 3:3 teaches that jewelry, rings, hair ornaments, etc. are to be avoided.  But when this passage is read in its context, it says no such thing.  In addition, there are other passages in the Bible that speak of jewelry, and fail to condemn it or mention it within a negative context.

            In Christ,
