× Definitely not, Am a boy so I don't usually wear any jewelry.
✓ Definitely not. I'm a boy, so I don't usually wear any jewelry.
The original sentence lacks the subject and auxiliary in 'Am' and runs two clauses together without proper punctuation. Use 'I'm' (subject + auxiliary) and separate independent clauses with a comma and conjunction or a period. Suggestion: Always include the subject and verb (I am -> I'm) and use punctuation to join clauses correctly.
× I don't usually wear jewelry but if I have to pick the jewelry that I like I would pick a diamond one because it looks a gorgeous and it show that you've got the money to buy.
✓ I don't usually wear jewelry, but if I had to pick one I would choose a diamond because it looks gorgeous and shows that you have the money to buy it.
Multiple problems: conditional meaning requires past tense in the if-clause ('if I had to pick') with 'would' in the main clause (second conditional). 'Pick the jewelry that I like' is awkward; use 'pick one' or 'choose one.' 'A gorgeous' is incorrect use of article before adjective without noun; use 'looks gorgeous.' 'It show' violates subject-verb agreement and tense; use 'shows.' Also replace 'you've got the money to buy' with 'you have the money to buy it' for clarity.
× I only buy jewelry for my girlfriend. Last time that I bought is probably a year ago. It was her birthday and I uh, would like to make a surprise for her.
✓ I only buy jewelry for my girlfriend. The last time I bought any was probably a year ago. It was her birthday, and I wanted to surprise her.
'Last time that I bought is probably a year ago' mixes structures and tenses; use 'The last time I bought any was probably a year ago.' 'Would like to make a surprise' is inappropriate here because the event is in the past; use past tense 'wanted to surprise her.' Also add commas for clarity.
× Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?
✓ Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?
This sentence is grammatically acceptable; however, better phrasing could be 'Why do you think some people wear a piece of jewelry for a long time?' No correction needed. (Included to show no error under provided list.)
× There might be many reasons for that, but one thing that popped up in my mind is probably because, uh, it appears of theory that brings one's memories.
✓ There might be many reasons for that, but one thing that popped into my mind is that it seems to be a symbol that brings back someone's memories.
Original has several issues: 'popped up in my mind' is unnatural — use 'popped into my mind.' 'Is probably because' is redundant; use 'is that.' 'It appears of theory' is ungrammatical; likely intended 'it seems to be a symbol' or 'it appears to be something.' 'Brings one's memories' should be 'brings back someone's memories.' Suggestions: use clear connectors ('is that') and correct verb phrases ('popped into my mind', 'brings back memories').
