Yes, I would. Or a Katana, does that mean I'm disrespectful to someone who follows bushido?

Jewelry in it's most basic form is nothing more than adornment worn because you either like how it looks, or like how it makes you look. For some people certain symbols have special meaning, ok, good for them. Just because this symbols means X to you dosen't mean that it will mean the same thing for another person, to someone else it may mean Y. Example: go out and find 20 Christians, same or different denomination, and ask them "What does the cross mean to you?", I can garantee that you're going to get at least 10 different answers. Heck, you may get 20 different answers. To another person it may mean nothing and only be an expression of what they find attractive.

For a person to assume that any personal adornment, jewelry or otherwise, 'means' anything more than the fact that the person who is wearing it liked the look of it is their own mistake, especially if they are wrong. Another example, or a few; If you saw a person who was wearing all black would that mean that they're a 'goth'? Or same situation, a person wearing all black, would that mean that someone they loved has died and they're in mouring? Opposite situation, a person wearing all white, does that mean that they practice Kabbalah? The answers to all of those questions are obviously no, and though the color of ones clothing could be argued as being a completely different situation it is still the same principle.

I have/had worn Crosses, Pentacles, Ahnks, a Rath Gras Cross, Zodiac figures (chinese and other), Celtic knots, and the Greek symbol for long life (just to name a few). Just because I have worn these things does not mean that they have any special meaning to me other than that of their attractiveness. Sure, some have more meaning than that, and I've been asked questions about many of them. Sometimes my answer is "I just liked how it looks." and sometimes it's a small speech about my belief/meaning of it or what the common believe/meaning of it is. Other times it was a gift and the meaning of it for me is purly sentimental. Often if there was no meaning in it for me the person asking would have a fragment of symbology that I gladly listen to as I'm always curious.

Really though the way I see things is this: Don't assume anything about a person or their beliefs because of their attire (clothes, jewelry, tattoos, whatever). If you've got a question, ask it. If you have a particular meaning or belief associated with a symbol thats great, I have them too, but don't be angry if someone doesn't share your belief. On the other side of things if you don't share the beliefs of a person about a certain symbol you wear and they ask you a question about it, don't get angry at them! They can't read your mind and had no way of knowing.

So boiling my opinion down: don't assume anything; it just makes an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me), and live and let live.
