Jewellery of The Modern

Today, the modern man, who is not looking to make big fashion statements is far more comfortable with making bolder statements through jewellery. Perhaps because of our increasingly pluralistic & open global culture, along with the continuing blurring of gender roles, the world of jewellery is witnessing an overhaul and has opened a new market for men in the form of gender-free jewellery. We bring to you few jewellery pieces that are accepted with open arms and luxuriously flaunted by today’s men.

Rings:

Still widely associated with marriage or family, rings have long been a staple in a man’s jewellery ensemble. The signet ring is back in fashion and makes an excellent option for those that want to wear something other than a plain band. They look particularly good if engraved with a family crest, your initials, or something of significance to the wearer. Simple and timeless rings will never go out of fashion.

Pendants & Necklaces:

Indians have always favoured coloured gemstone malas or even jadau necklaces for their wedding. Today’s times, chains and pendants are adorned by the men affectionately. Be it a religious pendant or amulet, or a personalized keepsake or even a dog tag for trend, men no longer shy away from pendants or necklaces.

Cufflinks:

Cufflinks are a must for many formal occasions, such as black tie. However, don’t be afraid to have a little fun with your cufflinks – they’re a minimal part of your look and will go unnoticed by the majority of people. Again, metal choice should be dictated by other jewellery you currently wear (your wedding ring or watch, for example) but there is the opportunity to introduce a contrast material like onyx or mother of pearl, or even a diamond, here. When it comes to design, quirkier options such as animals or skulls can add personality to your look, but the best styles are those that mean something to the wearer and serve as a conversation starter, for example, you may choose plane cufflinks because you’re currently learning to fly, or vintage racing cars because you’re an enthusiast. If you’re struggling or prefer to keep things simple, why not consider a subtle, monogrammed pair.

Tie pins:

Typically reserved for those of us who still work in corporate or business casual environments, a tie clip is primarily there to serve a purpose: keep your tie in place and out of the way while you are going about your business. As they are designed to be worn at work or formal occasions, tie clips traditionally come in plain, unassuming designs typically crafted from solid or plated metals, with or without an engraved pattern. A small tip: Your tie clip should never be wider or overhang the tie you are wearing.

Brooches/Lapel Pins:

Pins and brooches are always in fashion. They bring elegance and style to any ensemble, and are incredibly stylish and versatile. In addition to adding an interesting accent to your outfit, they are also serve as great conversation starters. Exquisite works of art, these pieces boast elegant or playful designs that get you noticed.

Technically speaking, pins and brooches are both decorative pieces of jewellery that attach to clothing with a sharpened metal wire on the back. However, pins are the general category for such pieces of jewellery, and brooches are a specific type of pin. So, all brooches are pins, but all pins are not brooches.

Bracelets:

Bracelets and watches as combination just adds to the personality. Or opt for a minimal cuff or linked chain design, always worn on your strong hand, for an easy way to introduce a point of interest. Bracelets other than metal, also look great with coloured gemstone beads or even leather straps to highlight the central element.

Ear-rings/Studs:

Ear-rings were popular among both men and women until the Early Middle Ages. Depictions of men wearing ear-rings throughout the Middle Ages tend to indicate that the person wearing them was different or exotic. During the Renaissance, ear-rings were worn by men to indicate status and wealth. In the 20th century, numerous male public figures are seen sporting piercings whether as ear-rings or studs. In single or both ears work just perfectly for men.

Watches:

It’s true what they say, the classics never die and there’s nothing more classic or revered in a man’s wardrobe than his timepiece. Whether you opt for quartz or mechanical, military or diver, gold or silver, or the smart watch, one can never go wrong with a watch.
