From time immemorial, women’s jewellery has outshone men’s jewellery. But things have changed and today the detailed work and skilful craftsmanship that goes into making men’s jewellery could give even the most intricate of women’s jewellery a run for its money.
For centuries now, men’s jewellery has been somewhat similar around the world. Jewellery, in days gone by, included the head-gear, which could be a crown in the case of a monarch, or specially designed metallic helmets for army chiefs and other nobles at court. Later, men’s jewellery also came to include coat pins, pocket watches, diamond earring studs, necklaces, finger rings, bracelets etc.
Men’s jewellery today has something for all styles and occasions. The formal office look can be given a sophisticated appearance just by the addition of the correct pair of cuff links. Even a tie pin can give a classy look to the regular formal shirt. The right watch also goes a long way in giving an urbane and stylish look. Men’s watches these days offer a wide range of choices, from sporty watches and durable everyday ones to sleek and formal ones.
For a more flamboyant style, men’s jewellery of today has options like earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, buckles and watches. These earrings range from the classic small gold, silver or stainless steel rings and single-stud diamond earrings to other contemporary shapes and styles. Men’s bracelets come in a variety of metals and other materials. Wooden bead bracelets give a retro 70s look, while bracelets in gold, silver, bronze and other metals are for a contemporary look.
Necklaces form an integral part of men’s jewellery. From beaded necklaces to sterling silver pendants strung on chains, men’s necklaces today have a range broad enough to satisfy the most fastidious of buyers. Rings, also, have come into their own, with a lot of men sporting multiple rings at the same time. Rings can vary from plain bands to rings with precious or semi-precious stones.
Buckles can be the ideal way of jazzing up an otherwise plain outfit. A simple all-black ensemble with a black belt and metallic or diamond-studded buckle can be used to make a statement. Men’s watches also are great accessories.
In an era where appearances are very important, men’s jewellery does its fair share by giving a man the extra edge in style and elegance. With a wide range and burgeoning demand, men’s jewellery has truly come of age!
