Simulated Amethyst Cuff
Sophisticated Masculine Jewelry Hallmark Of Status
There are times when jewelry worn by men can be described as nothing less than crass and ‘tacky’ depending on what the item is and how it is worn.
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.
The common factor here is the desire to be noticed and an expression of power, and it has always been so. Kings and princes, more so than the royal ladies, wore most of the jewels in royal families in early times and that was a jealously guarded prerogative, so much so that King Louis IX of France forbade anyone to wear a diamond ring but himself.
Times have certainly changed and today jewelry is viewed as essentially a female accessory. But this is becoming an outdated view as well groomed male professionals emerge wearing carefully selected accessories to compliment their business and casual attire. It is now increasingly commonplace to see well-dressed men wearing carefully coordinated pieces which reflect their personality and lifestyle.
Functionality with regard to the professional occupation of the wearer will determine the most appropriate choice of an accessory. Heavy daily manual work is not a suitable environment for some items such as bracelets, rings or neck chains mainly for safety reasons apart from anything else. But at the end of the work day and for leisure wear the situation is quite different. The less physical or professional occupation which does not involve safety hazards allows more flexibility for workplace wear.
Personal comfort is a consideration which should never be overlooked keeping in mind that any item of jewelry should never be a source of irritation or annoyance to 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.
Any item of jewelry for men can be custom designed and created to incorporate a flawless eco-friendly gemstone equal in fire and brilliance to its mined counterpart at a fraction of the cost, sometimes saving up to as much as 70 percent.
One supplier provides each certified series gemstone, either purchased as a loose gem or mounted, with a supporting American International Gemologists (AIG) Certificate and Diamond Simulant Grading Report, documenting the exact specifications and characteristics of each individual gemstone.
If words like ‘fake’, artificial, synthetic, man-made, cubic zirconia or moissanite, spring to mind – forget it -not even close! These are real diamonds and gemstones which are virtual exact optical and physical matches to their mined counterparts but having had the formation process accelerated in the laboratory. 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.
The ‘feel good’ fashion experience of being well-groomed is enhanced by these sophisticated accessories which will place the hallmark of quality on a man who takes pride in his presentation and professionalism.
