Default Agnostics, how do you feel about wearing jewelry that depicts symbols for a religion you do not follow?

Agnostics, how do you feel about wearing jewelry that depicts symbols for a religion you do not follow?I do a lot of costumed events and I frequently where jewelry for religions that I do not follow as part of the costume/character. Just recently I started seriously being aware of this fact and it gave me pause. I wanted to know how other people feel about it.Examples:I have a handmade silver rosary with a crucifix blessed in Rome that was given to me by a catholic former girlfriend. I occasionally like to wear it because it is beautiful and it reminds me of the good times we had. I am not a catholic and never have been.I have a sterling ankh with cartouche (supposedly) imported from Egypt given to me by an follower of Kemetism (Egyptian Reconstructionist Paganism). We are close friends, and I know that the pendant meant a lot to him before he gave it to me. I do not follow Kemetism.I have a handsome brass and copper Vodun Veve of Loa Agwe (protector of sailors and travelers) that I wear when I dress like a pirate. I know that it is consecrated because I did it myself. I am not a Houngan.Theses are just some examples. Part of what has made me aware of it is that when I am wearing these symbols prominently people of that religion (or that choose to oppose that religion) approach me to talk about the symbols. Though I do not follow these religions, I NEVER wear something that I do not have some knowledge of; my crowd was big into wearing symbols, logos and flair designed to make a statement or draw attention, and we distained logos or symbols just for their popularity.Personally, I am a Henotheist. I accept that there may be other gods, but I only worship my god. My god does not mind that I wear symbols of other religions, but I am not entirely sure how the other gods feel about it.In answer to the question about why I did not just ask this question once with lots of belief systems at the beginning (or none): I have found in the past that if you do not target one belief system (or non-belief system) in the question a lot of people skip it. Also, if you put too many belief (or lack of belief) systems in the question it becomes a distraction from the question and many people do not bother.I am more interested in hearing people’s opinions than I am worried about mildly annoying a few people.

There seems to be a common theme to your recent questions.

Why ask the same question over and over again? Why not say " Pagans,Jews,Agnostics *insert question here* "

It doesn't really bother me. I wear a silver cross necklace and a Kara (silver bangle which Sikhs wear) just because I like silver jewellery.

Finishing and polishing stages, if the project will occur in the process of decoration.So the next time you buy a necklace, bracelet, earrings or any other items of jewelry craft, made ​​a point to enjoy and be proud to wear it.

There are still a number of brands in the UK, which is doing very well with his clothing line, which has been developed, taking into account the ethics associated with fashion.
