Among men only 40% are ready to wear such accessories. More than half of respondents (28% of women and 35% of men) admit that they would like to buy a new piece of jewelry, without any backstory.

However, more than half of the Russian women surveyed (57%) do not see mystical power in jewelry at all, and among men there are even more skeptics - 74%. However, both of them, if they decide to buy a talisman, most often choose rings: 54% of women and 47% of men said so. Next come bracelets, pendants and earrings.

Earlier, on October 19, it was reported that 9% of surveyed Russians resort to the services of esotericists to calculate an auspicious period for loans, large purchases or investment decisions. This is stated in the results of a study of financial marketplace "Vyberu.ru". At the same time, 3% of respondents independently make financial calculations and astrological forecasts. However, 35% trust only rational analysis, and more than half of respondents - 53% - consider such methods as fraud and do not use them at all.
