I was raised catholic as a child but as I grew into an adult I became Unitarian. ( one who believes all )
I would like to wear religious jewelry but my question would it be wrong to wear all jewelry? Example; If I wore a jewish necklace and a bracelet with a cross etc. Is that misleading? I need opinions. I would like something to express myself... I understand they make UU jewelry but I wanted to know if it would make such a difference that way as well. (link)

People will likely assume that you belong to whatever religion symbolized by the accessory they see first. If you've got a Star of David around your neck, and that's what they see first, they will assume not only that you are Jewish but that you are enthusiastic enough about it to advertise it to the world, and they probably won't even see the cross on your wrist. It's not exactly misleading to wear many different religious symbols, but it will be confusing to people; they'll either wonder why you can't make up your mind, or they will assume that you are wearing them with no consideration for their meaning, and that could be taken as offense.
If you wish to express your Unitarian beliefs, then I suggest something like a charm bracelet - that way, no one symbol will be portrayed as more important than any other, and it will demonstrate the unity and harmony of them all much more so than several separate pieces. Wearing the symbols separately would illustrate non-reconciliation of the various beliefs, which I understand to be contrary to Unitarian ideas.
