Comment: Describing it as "proposed name" means that this is almost certainly not yet a notable term or concept. The fact that the only two sources cited have the same authors further suggests that. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:33, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Kosmemophobia[1][2] (Greek: κόσμημα "kósmima" ("jewellery"), and φόβος "phóbos" ("fear") is a proposed name for the phobia of jewellery.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
Kosmemophobia manifests in different ways in different people, but it's commonly identified by the aversion towards earrings, rings, bracelets, piercings, necklaces, chains and other accessories. That aversion can also extend to other objects such as coins, keys, metal cutlery and others.
Such aversion is most often not based on fear, but on feelings of disgust and annoyance towards jewellery. Kosmemophobic people avoid having such objects touch their skin and might not want to be close to people who wear these.[1]
Reasoning[edit]
There isn't enough research on the topic, but it's speculated to be a learned fear, acquired at some point in life, most likely during childhood. The thought that these objects might be dirty and contaminated is a possible origin, as well as the fact that these objects might sensory overload some individuals.[1]
