That more and more men are purchasing jewelry now is not a secret anymore, as we already said in this blog entry, where we talked about men buying diamond jewelry. But not only diamond jewelry is gaining popularity but also “regular” jewelry, like stainless steel or wood jewelry. And as you can read here, wearing jewelry has a long history, starting with priests and kings to jewelry for everyone. The necklace seems to be the favorite among the men jewelry, followed by rings and bracelets. However the blog suggests silver and platinum jewelry, but this blog and our earlier entries say otherwise. On the statement, that wooden jewelry creates a natural look, I think we can agree on.
One of the next most favorite kind of jewelry, the bracelet, gained it´s popularity by being versatile. I think, the TeNo YuKoN bracelet is a perfect example for that. Change it, just as you like, I think you could say.Summed up, the blog says men buy jewelry because they look great.
A simple but good reasons in my mind. :-) Women seem to have a little more complex reasons. For example because the piece of jewelry reminds them of something special or because it bonds them with something or someone. Maybe the MemoRo would be fit for that reason? And besides, why should there be such a huge difference between men and women jewelry, when it also can be unisex?
My son, who is 14, would wear both of the items pictured above, especially during the summer. In fact he has something similar to both. My dad used to wear a chain (a thick thing, we called it a loo chain!) but I am from the generation in the middle that would wear neither. There seems to be a gap in the man jewels generations !
