Jewellery on Men?

August 07 2017

This topic was prompted by a conversation I had with girlfriends on the weekend. Men - Do you wear it?Women - Do you like it?Can it be a deal breaker when you meet someone if you weren't expecting it and didn't like it?Me - Less is more, leather and silver is OK. Don't mind hippy, tribal style jewellery if that is his jam. Gold jewellery and bling.....I can't like it.I think it would be a deal breaker.

    And I also like the tribal/hippy style jewellery. Loads of gold chains dont do much for me either. I dont like the ear and nose rings that look like they are mutilating the wearer. Im pretty old fashioned I guess......

    Silver looks shit on me so it's gold, leather and maybe some stainless steel. I don't mind wearing stuff and have a draw full of trinkets that have been bought for me which I hate (nobody owns me). Sometimes it goes on, mostly it stays at home.

    Not even a fan if watches. Bling, defo a deal breaker for me. Generally speaking tho, Im not a fan of jewellery on or in men. In saying that tho, a rare piece is nice, as it generally has a story attached and usually the piece is quite intriguing. Though I do like hipster. Free spirit comes to mind. - Posted from rhpmobile

    However I love jewellry on men and women. I love well kept hands on men. add a watch on one writst and a gorgeous bracelet on the other hand, and a ring or two on his fingers. I do prefer a stainless steel or silver for men, or leather bands in particular :)Ladies, i like anything they like but hopefully I'm not fighting with the pearls to get to her neck or breasts lol. For me, gold jewellry has two many stereotypes and connotations attached to it lol, I tend to avoid it and find it rather kitch. Mary xx

    A weird one for me, as I have worked hard to ditch all the crap I was raised with, around what is and isn't ok for people to wear. I am SO not into being told what to wear, and wouldn't dream of doing it to others, but this is one area I can't seem to get past 😣 I am not a fan of jewellery on men. Watch is fine (but do find excessively expensive watches to be ridiculous), and some leather is good, otherwise it's a big nope from me. Chains or an earring on a guy is an instant turn off 😑 I should clarify that it's not something that I judge people on, and I have male friends who wear jewellery and rock it, but it is something I notice almost immediately on a potential lover, and then I'm done... I don't like this about myself...

    Can't do Gold. My female adornments spill over to my male side except for work.I don't judge anyone with jewellery if it looks good. Who am l to judge guys when l have sleepers to both ears, Pandora chain bracelet, Annie id bracelet, my Mum's Silver ring and sometimes silver men's necklace depending on mood. And then there is the acrylic nails. But then there is zero care factor to what people think. I don't care to attract females who don't know about Annie. I am who l am. But love jewellery on women

    When it's not on to make some big bold statement. Everyone's entitled to their own practicalities and fashions but when I'm looking at a person thinking wtf are they wearing... Then that's probably a sign not to approach any further - Posted from rhpmobile

    Can't wear men's jewellery at all ? When I've tried they annoy the crap outta me. I fiddle and twist them all the time they're there and can't wait to get home and pull them off , that's if I hadn't already done so...

    Quoting 'Betty7216'A weird one for me, as I have worked hard to ditch all the crap I was raised with, around what is and isn't ok for people to wear. I am SO not into being told what to wear, and wouldn't dream of doing it to others, but this is one area I can't seem to get past 😣 Betty get where you are coming from and I agree with you and its also something that I don't like about myself. I met a friends new partner on the weekend. He had gold and bling on. I find myself automatically going ewww. Then I give myself a mental face slap and tell myself to wake up and give the guy a go. He turns out to be really nice on first impressions. I mean, I'm not into excess jewellery on women either but each to their own and do I really need to judge people on looks. Should be about what's inside. If he wants to wear it who am I to judge.......plus he's not my partner #judgybitch

    I've grown up in a culture where men wore gold, rings, necklaces with a crucifix or a horn (no......not THAT kind of horn, it's called a "cornicello") and even a bracelet sometimes. So I'm used to being surrounded with men with jewellery. It's not a turn on for me but it's not a turn off or a deal breaker either, unless it's a hugely excessive amount of piercings or any piercings that leave a big hole. So....having said that, maybe some types of jewellery are deal breakers for me.

    Omg love it, though not too much gold guys, definitely the pimp look, not a fan at all, but silver chains and bracelets 😜 have loved silver jewellery on guys all my life, unfortunately not many men wear jewellery. It's hot. A watch I can take or leave, I don't really notice, an expensive watch would be wasted on me, but I love a leather wrist band with silver studs. I have one here, must be worn on the action arm, so if right handed, on the right wrist, left handed left wrist 😇

    Some can rock it, some end up looking like they have been to the local $2 shop and brought up big on fake gold jewellery. Necklaces are the thing I struggle most with, and gold ones are an instant turn off. Rings are okay, earrings are okay - I have a gorgeous male friend who wears pin dot diamond earrings - a pair - and his gold wedding ring which he & his wife designed and they both have as wedding rings. He looks hot!! 😈 Ohh.....before the haters arrive...he is a beautiful platonic friend....you know, the type of friend you have had forever and have NEVER slept with. Imagine that, talking about a platonic friend on this site 😜

    It depends on the guy, some can carry off jewellery better than others. The right type of ring, bracelet, earring, or necklace on a guy can look very hot, too much or the wrong type can just look tacky. Agree that silver tones and leather seem to suit best, although I have seen some men that can pull off gold jewellery (subtle pieces, not the heavy gold chain look which doesn't suit anyone IMO). I've actually started buying some men's stainless steel pieces for myself. They don't tarnish, and I prefer a lot of the designs to some of the overly cutesy stuff made for women. I've got quite a few stainless steel necklaces, rings, and earrings now (I very rarely wear bracelets). One of the rings in a dragon claw design is probably my current favourite piece of jewellery.

    I wear rings and bracelets daily, and have a growing collection which all men something to me. Some bought for me by my partner, some bought overseas while travelling. They are all leather, steel, rose gold and some have crystals and stand out. I have had many compliments from women about them. 😊 I am always in the lookout for a new piece. But no earrings or necklace for me. - Posted from rhpmobile

    My wedding ring hangs from a gold chain which I wear pretty much all the time. My fingers are thinner than my knuckles so it swims on me when I wear the ring in the convential fashion... hence on the chain. For me it shows I'm married and I am proud and happy in my relationship. My wife bought me the chain, we both like it. That's just me and us, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

    That's perfect 👍 I'll add a lot of men, and women, can't wear rings at work, minesites etc my ex never had one at all because he would have spent 3/4 of his life not wearing it anyway, that never bothered me. In more recent years, I lost the big diamond from my engagement ring. It was insured but would have had to pay the excess, kept putting it off, but my rings never got fixed and never went back on after that

    I like it in small doses - silver plain rings, a nice watch. Not a big fan of gold on men. I really like rings on men (not necessarily wedding bands LOL!). As others have said, thick gold chains or anything gangsta looking is a turn off though. Some simple think necklaces can look good on a guy if he's rocking that pirate or rock star look. And leather wrist cuffs etc are very hot! Don't like earrings on men. Miss Little xx

    Wedding ring and a nice watch is my absolute limit on male jewellery. Not a fan at all. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Thanks. As you said I wouldn't want it on at work a lot of the time for safety reasons too. Not so good about your diamond but that is somewhat common to lose them from rings. But on the flip side to the current topic I don't like big rocks in rings anyhow.

    As for me I don't believe in warring any type of jewellery not even a watch. Oh wait one minute, just nipple rings. 😂 On my partners I love it. Women deserve to ware jewellery actually it's a turn on. Love to spoil my partners with eloquent pieces of jewellery. 👍👍👍 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I typically have curiosity items and conversation starters for the observant on me, like my silver family crest ring and engraved zippo lighter when for I go out.
