If you are looking for a nice men's necklace or for a cool gift for him, the following article will surely give you some points to take into consideration.
Men were the first in the history of mankind to wear jewelry. That love for jewelry has remained unchanged, but the purpose of men's accessories and the attitude towards them changed.
According to the role of men's jewelry: there are amulets, identification accessories, and those pointing to the status.
In ancient Egypt, a warrior wore amulets made of semiprecious stones, wide wristbands on his hands, pharaohs had many necklaces made of gold and precious stones. Also, the earrings were popular. In the Rome empire, an earring in the ear was worn by slaves. Jewelry with precious stones could weight to five kilograms at a time.
The Middle Ages brought modesty into the decoration style. Jewelry was worn only by aristocrats and crowned persons. The amount of jewelry has become moderate: a few massive rings, a massive golden chain with a cross on the chest.
In the 18th century, rings, bracelets, chains, buckles, cufflinks - were regular accessories in the wardrobe of every fashionable nobleman. And all that sparkled with precious metals, rubies, diamonds, and cost a fortune.
Men's jewelry nowadays makes an accent on- taste and personality instead of status.
The 19th century brought the industrial revolution and rationalism. Among men's jewelry, there were only practical accessories - watches, cufflinks, tie pins, signet rings. They became an indicator of taste then but sometimes were seen as a sign to challenge society.
The beginning of the 21st century proved that history moves in a spiral. Today jewelry maintains new roles, but it is still a sign of good taste and the opportunity to emphasize individuality.
