I am an old geezer and I remember back in the day we, as kids, were sent to classes at the Officer’s Club to learn dancing (which I hated) and basic etiquette. Because, god knows, there’s nothing more insufferable than a middle-class snob. My mom and grandmother were something of a walking encyclopedia regarding those rules they were taught as children. I haven’t been to a dinner party in decades where a fish course, you know with its own knife and fork, was served. Some of these rules of etiquette had really practical (for the time) reasons but others left me gobsmacked. I remember one rule my grandmother followed which involved not wearing platinum jewelry before 5pm. WTF?!

@bilindalaw-morley161

Жыл бұрын

I'm going to guess that platinum, being more expensive was considered "flashier" than gold. I'm a Boomer so might be wrong, but even today a woman doesn't wear showy, obvious jewellry during the day. EG the only time you see a royal in a tiara in the daytime, they're getting married, and even the Queen used to just wear a brooch and occasionally a one strand necklace for most daytime events.
