The wearing of men's jewelry is becoming more acceptable every day, everywhere. With jeans and loafers, a bracelet or pendant brings a touch of sophistication. With suits and formal wear, a ring or bracelet adds a layer of elegance beyond that of a wristwatch. Using rugged materials like steel, rubber and silver, today’s men’s jewelry is all about manliness and meaning. These are men who are confident, strong and masculine – and unafraid to adorn themselves with confident, strong and masculine pendants, rings and bracelets.
A steel and rubber bracelet evokes confidence. A dog tag pendant says “quiet cool”. And an eye-catching, yet discrete, steel and diamond ring demonstrates that you are comfortable in your own skin. Men wearing such pieces come across as confident, strong and masculine – and those attributes are appropriate day and night.
After all, strength is a primary masculine trait. But men don’t have to go to Muscle Beach to show their strength. They can do it subtly, yet confidently, by adding the right touch of jewelry. Touch is the key word – because strong, masculine materials – like rubber and steel – are highly tactile. They also add a textual dimension that goes well beyond the usual two-dimensional gold or silver ring or bracelet. A rubber setting on a ring brings out the vibrancy of the steel. And, on a dog tag, rubber and steel work together to create unusual patterns that make the piece stand out – and outstanding. Adorning yourself with strong, tactile jewelry is a sensual experience. It appeals to your sense of style – and feels great to her touch.
A decade ago, important events and stages of a man’s life were often commemorated with tattoos. But today’s style conscious man instead commemorates those events with jewelry, choosing to wear an array of meaningful bracelets. It’s masculine, adult… and a definite sign of our times. Look at ads in magazines and newspapers and watch who are the trendsetters in popular culture and it becomes evident that men’s style is moving towards real men and men’s jewelry is at the forefront.
