Jewels
Jewels often shimmer with the feeling of being valued—both the desire to possess something precious and the question of what you're willing to treasure or let go. A dream of adorning yourself may hold different weight than watching jewels slip away, though both gestures speak to what feels irreplaceable.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jewels, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of jewels, denotes much pleasure and riches.
To wear them, brings rank and satisfied ambitions.
To see others wearing them, distinguished places will be held by you, or by some friend.
To dream of jeweled garments, betokens rare good fortune to the dreamer. Inheritance or speculation will raise him to high positions.
If you inherit jewelry, your prosperity will be unusual, but not entirely satisfactory.
To dream of giving jewelry away, warns you that some vital estate is threatening you.
For a young woman to dream that she receives jewelry, indicates much pleasure and a desirable marriage. To dream that she loses jewels, she will meet people who will flatter and deceive her.
To find jewels, denotes rapid and brilliant advancement in affairs of interest. To give jewels away, you will unconsciously work detriment to yourself.
To buy them, proves that you will be very successful in momentous affairs, especially those pertaining to the heart.
Fontaine, 1862
Chains, pearls, or precious stones, etc., and all adornings upon the heads and necks of women, are good dreams for the fair sex; to widows and maids they signify marriage; and to those that are married, riches. If a man dreams of possessing jewels, it is a sure sign he will lose something of great value.
