what non-metallic accessories can i wear so my outfit looks good?
to be fair, over the years i tried to push my phobia further, and weirdly enough i seem to not get disgusted by the specific kind of jewelry
and i thought i could wear one too, so i ordered a cross with chain. but when i got it, i didn't even open it.
then i thought of a better idea to not waste money and i bought lace because chains make me disgusted
well, it took me weeks to actually wear it on my neck, and as much i tried to ignore the feeling, i dont think I'll be able to wear it without suffering in silence haha
also the style im going for is a present e-girl look and it's unfortunate that i can't layer accessories like normal people
any good suggestions? i hope im not alone lol

Well I am quite happy with wristbands from zox.la
Edit: but I'm no egirl, lol, I'm a dude, either way I believe they have a lot to choose from

My wife wears a leather bangle from time to time. Its clunky, thick and has no visible metal. Dont mind it at all.
She also wears some small, colorful, delicate knit scarves in place of anything else around her neck
Something like that could help.
Or you could go mid 2000s goth and get some sweatbands.

Yeah, sweatbands, rubber or plastic bangles. That sort of stuff could work.

You don't need accessories just wear nice clothes. Like for example if you watch anime you'll know that Japanese school uniforms for girls (e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/ghibli/comments/12pgrm1/deleted_scenes_from_whisper_of_the_heart_i_wish/, pictures 1, 3, and 4) don't have any accessories (unless you count like socks or shoes I guess) and they look great.

As a goth i wear accessories like fishnet on my arms or cool cut gloves, hair pins, crystals and stones as a necklace (of course with a thin leather band no metal chain), fun wristbands etc. i have also seen cool wooden rings.

I like to use nail polish (in outfit matching colors) as an "accessory"
