Power of jewellery for men
Men’s jewellery now make a statement. While women can pull off a whole range of ornaments from bling to baubles, not all men feel comfortable donning more than a watch, a class ring, or some discreet earring. There was a time when men used to shy away from the very idea of jewellery. Vikings wore jewellery. Kings wore jewellery. Pretty much every significant man in history wore silver and gold. However, in recent times, there has been an attitudinal change and men have embraced jewellery as well. According to some fashionista men’s jewellery has become a part of the warddrobe. Jewellery is elegant on a man if it is accessorised properly. Always to remember not to wear an oversized rock on your ear or a chain that’s thicker than your throat. You also need to decide what to wear when.
When men go bling bling they should be aware of the symbolism that involves with the piece that they are wearing. Fashion is a statement so the first step is to know what sort of message that you want to give out. Wearing expensive designer pieces or cheap bead bands all depends heavily on you, the place, and the time.
For men our war of wearing pieces of jewellery has fallen to reconsideration, because men wear a handful of pieces compared with tons of feminine gadgetry and male-barbs, so while probing deeper into men’s fashion, lets have a look on how we can pick the most suitable manly fashion statements. Remember the power of jewellery, for better or worse will sends signals about who we are, what commitments we have made, and our status in society.
Most importantly keep it simple, and try not to be overdressed to be noticed, you want need a light bulb flashing over your head, women have also stepped up their game so that they scan a man in just under 30 seconds…
People that require “modest” or “tasteful” or “appropriate” jewellery, or similar taste, prefer things be limited to the traditional “masculine” styles of jewellery. This includes tie accents, watches, cuff-links, and wedding bands. There is a sudden surge in bracelets, earrings, and ethnic jewellery being worn among men; I think a lot to do with Jonny Depp syndrome, but still fashion is fashion.
Piercing has become popular too, but we have to be smart,elegant and be simple, Piercing with jewellery all over the body is not nice. All depends on the statement you want to make and you will have to build your own frame to suit your personality.
The most valuable piece of male jewellery is your watch unlike women men will not carry watches to match any attire Your watch tells a lot about your character stature, nature, sexuality… etc. so take your time to fix a suitable watch over you wrist. Watches are as safe as wedding rings and acceptable to wear in all circumstances. While cloth bands and plastic watches should be stylishly avoided metals and leather are exquisite.
The second in the list would be the Ring. Rings have many forms, the wedding ring signifies one fact, while some wear signet rings as forms of stature or rings with large single stones, and some wear family rings, rings are a area that we can play around with and match with different attire, rings are fine …. as long as it blends in with your personality.
Cufflinks and shirt studs are functional jewellery pieces. Shirt studs
are most commonly associated with black tie attire, while cufflinks only require French or double cuffs. These are all popular with the younger men,
Bracelets retain a sense of masculinity and convey a notion of tasteful elegance As they tend to be quite distinctive and chunky, metal bracelets are fashionable
Earing studs are also becoming a fashion accessory while diamonds give sophistication, but all depends on your image and personality
A good necklace is an accent piece for a well-dressed man, just like a ring or a necktie or a good set of cufflinks. It’s not going to be something you wear every day, or with every outfit . Once you start mixing and matching you will get an idea which combinations will suit you the most. If you look good, you look good.
There are some who would abuse some forms of style, piercing like nose rings, multiple ear rings, navel rings as well as anklets and toe rings give out a negative macho look. Remember bling bling for men is out unless you wear them with style and elegance
