Today’s Metro Man and his Adornments

Gold or silver jewelry have always been associated with women, beautiful as they are. They added to the beauty of women in a myriad of ways. However, it is not the exclusive domain of women. Until three or four decades ago men, in general, avoided wearing jewelry although they have been wearing it in various ornamental forms throughout the ages. You could see the kings and Pharaohs of yore adorned in jewelry in movies and portraits. Ordinary men were not averse to wearing jewelry - there were men's ornaments that signified a tribe, group or community. There was some jewelry that meant to show achievements, the same as medals did.

Today's men can also wear ornaments of their choice. There is designer jewelry that can work as an exclusive signature or a calling card, as it were. While gold or platinum are good, silver jewelry, especially sterling silver jewelry, has the distinction of exuding a manly ardor the other two metals lack. Picture Yule Brynner in The Ten Commandments with his glorious silver jewelry and the enigma increases greatly.

Men in the United States started wearing wedding bands in the 1940s. These men's adornments served as a sort of answer to women's wedding rings and other ornaments. What is more, sterling silver jewelry sets comprising of all the possible items that are likely to be worn by the bride and the groom can be had for special prices. A visit to a jeweler or a peep into the hundreds of websites can help you choose the best sterling silver jewelry that suits you and your partner. Depending upon your individual taste, you can have flashy or subtle designs that are simple but elegant, or intricate with an air of sophistication about them.

The metro man today is liberated enough to try on anything that a woman wears. Silver jewelry is put anywhere on the body as your imagination takes you. You might be amused at first, but see the sensibility of it all when you yourself try it on. Who knows, you may even stick with silver jewelry and even recommend it to some or all of your friends. No one is going to look askance or even raise an eyebrow. You can just walk breezily along and you will more than likely be appreciated and complimented for the silver jewelry you are glittering in.
