Jewelry without colour seems a bit obsolete. Growing up as a girl you often observe the jewelry your mom wears or stores away in her dresser. I think we are more fascinated with the colour of the jewels than the value of the jewelry itself. The value of the gems are based on colour as well. Turning my image black and white takes the 'sparkle' away. The jewelry doesn't seem as precious or worth investigating though instead of being distracted by the type of precious metals or gems, we are instead engaged by the symbolism of the jewelry. The image appears more modest than it would be with colour. The image would be about value and beauty rather than the religious symbol it is in black and white.
