× I do not wear jewelry as in my culture and the place that I tend to live, jewelry is merely associated with female luxury.
✓ I do not wear jewelry because in my culture and the place where I live, jewelry is generally associated with female luxury.
The original uses 'as in' and 'the place that I tend to live' which are awkward preposition and relative clause choices. Use 'because' to give a reason, and 'place where I live' for a correct prepositional phrase. This makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct. Suggestions: replace 'as in' with 'because', and 'the place that I tend to live' with 'the place where I live'.
× Wearing jewelry, however, tends to be quite essential for the adults.
✓ Wearing jewelry, however, tends to be quite essential for adults.
The phrase 'the adults' incorrectly uses the definite article; general statements about people should omit 'the'. Also 'tends to be quite essential for adults' correctly expresses general present tendency. Suggestion: remove 'the' before 'adults'.
× As I'm only 25, I'm not eligible yet.
✓ As I'm only 25, I'm not eligible yet.
Sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Suggestion: none.
× I quite fancy diamond necklaces because they look elegant and feel special.
✓ I quite fancy diamond necklaces because they look elegant and feel special.
Sentence is grammatically correct. 'Quite' is acceptable here to mean 'rather'. Suggestion: none.
× My mother used to own a few and enjoy exploring the design and seeing how much people had married them.
✓ My mother used to own a few and enjoyed exploring the designs and seeing how people admired them.
Original mixes tenses and contains incorrect verbs: 'enjoy' should match past habit 'used to' so use 'enjoyed'; 'how much people had married them' is incorrect verb choice and tense — likely meant 'admired them'. Also 'design' should be plural if referring to multiple items. Suggestion: use 'enjoyed' and 'admired', and plural 'designs'.
× So I helped to own one someday as they acquired quintessential when you look at them as well as essential for human luxury in my culture.
✓ So I hope to own one someday, as they are considered quintessential and essential for luxury in my culture.
Original is ungrammatical: 'helped to own' is wrong; 'acquired quintessential' is incorrect word order and verb choice. Use 'hope to own one someday' to express desire; 'are considered quintessential and essential for luxury' corrects structure and meaning. Suggestion: replace 'helped to own' with 'hope to own', and rephrase the rest for clarity.
× I don't usually buy jewelry as jewelry in my place or the place that I tend to live.
✓ I don't usually buy jewelry where I live.
The phrase is repetitive and uses awkward prepositional phrasing. Condense to 'where I live' to express location. Suggestion: simplify phrases like 'in my place' to 'where I live'.
× As I said earlier, tends to cost a bit.
✓ As I said earlier, it tends to cost a bit.
Missing subject 'it' causes incorrect present-tense clause. Add 'it' to form a complete sentence: 'it tends to cost a bit.' Suggestion: include the subject when using 'tends to'.
× So as someone who is a middle class child, just pouring money down the rain by purchasing a diamond necklace will be a quite non affordable item at the.
✓ So as someone from a middle-class family, spending money on a diamond necklace would be unaffordable for me.
Many issues: 'middle class child' is unnatural — use 'someone from a middle-class family'; 'pouring money down the rain' is wrong idiom (should be 'pouring money down the drain'); 'a quite non affordable item at the.' is ungrammatical and has article errors. Rephrase to concise, correct form. Suggestion: use 'from a middle-class family', correct idiom to 'down the drain' if used, and use 'would be unaffordable'.
× People often wear a piece of jewellery for a long time for cultural or personal reasons.
✓ People often wear a piece of jewellery for a long time for cultural or personal reasons.
Sentence is acceptable. 'For a long time' and 'for cultural or personal reasons' are correct prepositional phrases. Suggestion: none.
× Firstly, my reasons.
✓ Firstly, my reasons are personal.
Fragment 'Firstly, my reasons.' is incomplete; it lacks a verb. Complete the sentence by adding a verb and complement: 'my reasons are personal.' Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments; include verb to complete thought.
× Some items are won because people believe they protect the wearer from evil spirits or bad luck.
✓ Some items are worn because people believe they protect the wearer from evil spirits or bad luck.
Wrong verb 'won' (past tense of win) instead of 'worn' (past participle of wear). Use 'are worn' to indicate passive present state. Suggestion: use 'worn' not 'won'.
× Secondly, many keep jury for sentimental reasons.
✓ Secondly, many keep jewellery for sentimental reasons.
Two errors: 'jury' is a misspelling; should be 'jewellery'. Also 'many keep jewellery' is acceptable; you might say 'many people keep jewellery' for clarity. Suggestion: correct spelling to 'jewellery' and consider adding 'people'.
× For example, a gift from a family member on a heirloom passed down through generations.
✓ For example, a gift from a family member or a heirloom passed down through generations.
Original uses 'on' incorrectly and mixes forms. Use 'or' to present examples: 'a gift from a family member or a heirloom passed down through generations.' Note: 'a heirloom' could be changed to 'an heirloom' because 'heirloom' begins with a vowel sound; best correction uses 'an heirloom'. Suggestion: replace 'on' with 'or' and use 'an heirloom' instead of 'a heirloom'.
