Being given a real (old) amulet is an honour.. I have a stone buddha in a silver case that I would like to carry but dont wear jewelry, I asked about could I keep it on my keys (good protection on the bike) but after thinking a bit my girl said putting the buddha in my pocket is not acceptable so it stays in a drawer..

I agree lil, it all depends on context...I've been given a few rare pieces and I do wear them but not everyday, I don't go out at night wearing a chain for everyone to see, it is personal.
I've been fortunate I suppose as my teachings have been to not flaunt what has been giving to me.
I do understand who your talking about however and know the type.
