The history of men’s jewelry dates all the way back to the Stone Age. A recent discovery in Africa of necklaces made from shells or mollusks is proof of that. Then from the early Europeans to the Ancient Egyptians, jewelry was worn by both men and woman for tribal, cultural or religious significance. In fact, it was the Egyptians who started the process of creating jewelry out of gold to show off their vast wealth.
Moving to modern day man in America, we find that around the 1940s, men began to adorn themselves with fancy watches and wedding bands. In the heyday of the 60s and 70s we began to see more ornate necklaces and fashionable rings as well as the “traditional” styles.
Then came the 1990s, and the jewelry industry blew wide open for our guys by adding chunky bracelets, earrings and yes, even body jewelry to their repertoire. As time goes on, more and more men are enjoying the benefits of adorning themselves with these shiny ornaments. It’s a small way for them to personalize their wardrobes, whether it’s for work or for play.
