Sophisticated Masculine Jewelry Hallmark Of Status
It's quite often men who fall into the trap of wearing trash jewelry which totally
destroys the very credibilty that they are trying to establish.
Flashy and pseudo-precious rings, bracelets, watches or cuff links are a dead give-away for the 'flim flam' man. Body piercing for the purpose of inserting pins, studs or chains in and around the body is quaintly reminiscent of our primevil ancestors swinging around in the treetops. In those days the adornments were more likely to be made of cadaver bones instead of the gold or silver of today.
Certainly this type of accessory does gain attention but usually not of a complimentary kind. The wearing of expensive jewelry in early times amongst royalty was a jealously guarded prerogative of kings and princes within the household.
But how times have changed - and just as well. Today, well-groomed professionals and important prominent men around the world wear carefully selected jewelry accessories to compliment their business attire. It has become totally acceptable for a man to wear sensitively chosen jewelry which reflects his personality and lifestyle.
Personal taste and preference ultimately decide the most appropriate choice for male accessories. The choice of a diamond ring for example is usually determined firstly by whether it is to be worn solely as a dress ring on special occasions or as a permanent accessory and worn daily. Usually the working environment becomes the deciding factor. Heavy daily manual work and contact sport will make this a poor choice. A plain, eye-catching gold, tungsten or titanium band without any gemstone is possibly the best way to go in this case. A less physical or professional occupation would make a diamond, ruby or sapphire ring entirely appropriate providing it is not ostentatious.
Comfort is another important point as far as a ring is concerned. The shape and width should be carefully thought through and it should never become intrusive or an annoyance for the wearer.
Everything including cufflinks, watches, rings and bracelets require careful coordination to achieve a quiet sophisticated blend of style and function.
To set himself apart as a man of quality, a custom designed piece is a really good investment. State of the art designers are able to create individual items which will produce an exclusive piece at surprisingly low cost.
Where diamonds or other precious gemstones such as ruby, emerald, sapphire or topaz are preferred the informed choice today is to explore the environmentally friendly options which are now becoming available. This applies equally to jewelry for gentlemen as it does for women.
Recent technological advances especially during the last five years enable a range of precious gemstones to be used in jewelry without the stigma associated with earth mining. Everyone is aware of the 'blood diamond' trade which occurred in parts of Africa and the human suffering which resulted from that. Many of these stones are still available and more are about to flow onto the market as thousands seek alternatives to avoid contact with them.
Environmentalists continue to campaign about the largely unseen damage caused to the planet by diamond and gemstone mining.
A custom designed item of jewelry incorporating a flawless eco-friendly diamond or gemstone, equal in fire and intensity to its mined counterpart can now be produced at a fraction of the cost - sometimes at savings of up to 70 percent.
The exact specifications and characteristics of loose or mounted gemstones are supported with an American Gemologists (AIG) certificate by one manufacturing jeweler, and in the case of the diamonds, a Diamond Simulant Grading Report is standard.
Having had the formation process accelerated in the laboratory, these are virtual exact optical and physical matches to their mined counterparts. To describe these beautiful stones as fake, artificial, cubic zirconia or moissanite is completely incorrect, they are real diamonds and gemstones which stand up to any scrutiny. They are chemically akin to mined diamonds or gemstones and it is impossible to tell them apart by eye. Complex laboratory equipment is required and the only known method is to study the invisible crystalline structure, which reveals how they grew over time and this requires expert analysis.
Now it is possible for men to enjoy the 'feel-good' fashion experience of being well groomed and able to wear sophisticated accessories which, while being subtle and laid-back, place the hallmark of quality on their presentation and professionalism.
