When is it common to see a man wearing lavish jewelry around the neck, on the ears, or on the wrist? While there are some men out there who will flaunt their ice, you probably wont see a man wearing lots of jewelry. In comparison to women, men are generally more modest in their jewelry wear. But what about wearing jewelry on a special occasion, like on a grooms wedding day? A mans jewelry might be especially highlighted then, featuring his wedding ring and maybe some cufflinks or a bracelet. When I think about a mans jewelry, the only thought that comes to mind is a wedding ring. Little did I realize that a man's jewelry is also extended to cufflinks and bracelets but also to key rings, money clips and tie bars and tie tacks. Items that I once thought were basic accessories are now reconsidered as a mans formal jewelry. Aside from a typical mans jewelry that comes in gold or silver form, a mans jewelry doesnt just include his wedding ring. In this article, a mans jewelry will be defined as an accessory in which a man treasures and wears frequently. Tie tack-My dad still has the eagle tie tack that my brother presented to him many years ago when he received his Eagle Scout rank. Not much of a jewelry fan, my dad will wear the tie tack for church as a proud display of his sons recognition. For my dad, the tie tack is a sentimental treasure, and for him, it is his own personal jewelry. Bracelets-You might not qualify this next item as jewelry but it can be a mans (or a boy, for the matter) fashionable accessory. In grade school, one of the coolest things to wear was a slap bracelet, featured in various fluorescent colors and designs. I recall boys especially using these multipurpose bracelets not only to sport, but to also keep them busily entertained and occupied in class or at recess. Key rings-A key ring as a mans jewelry? A key ring holds whats important to a man; the keys to his home, his car, job, or key chains that highlight a vacation or his personal interests. The frequent carrying of a key ring requires the man to find a suitable key ring to his taste. As little and maybe unnoticeable a key ring may be, as long as a man requires access to his many entries, he will be seen with his key ring. Better yet, let it be a fashionable key ring! Now that you can stretch the definition of what a mans jewelry can be, it can be just about anything so long as its what he values wearing. |
