Jewelry on men...

[Georges5]

What do u think about this sentence:
..The only Jewell for a man is a gold Watch...
My preference go to Omega vintage 1960..
This is my last buy :

A CONSTELLATION Pie Pan solid gold 18K with calendar, calibre 561, year 1960, bought in San Francisco USA for 1200 USD. 21 September 2006

But TOO in shoes I Trust !
www.souliers.net/new/ the french web site reference about shoes.

I think a watch and cufflinks is as bejeweled as a man should ever be.

 

[kolecho]

A nice watch is all I need. Maybe a wedding band at some point.

I like very old gold rings, especially worn on the index finger.

Also, Indians (from India) have a tendency to wear several gold rings on one hand, which I think is a nice look. As well, North American Indians can get away with large sterling pieces.

Anyway, back to the topic...I'd like a carnelian ring, I think.
Dude, I just want to express how impressed I am by the number of subjects you covered in so little space. That must be one of the most digressive four-line posts ever, especially given that each successive concept bears at least a thread of connection to the prior one. Bravo.

Aside from my wedding ring (and occasionally cufflinks) I don't wear jewelry - not even a watch. On other men, it's all a question of personal style. Some men wear jewelry that looks classy and elegant on them. Some wear jewelry that looks gaudy, pretentious, and awful on them. And some wear jewelry that looks gaudy and excessive but somehow works.
It goes on the long list of things that I'm not comfortable with myself (either physically, since I'm not used to it, or in terms of personal style) but admire on other people when it's done well.

I think that the missing link between the way words are written and the way they are pronounced is partly due to this double origin of the vocabulary.
Actually it was the Normandy French who invaded the Saxons (English). French became the language of the royal court and many french words were incorporated into the common language, English. It still is an relatively small portion of the vocabulary and did not affect the grammar of the language at all, so English is quite clearly a Germanic language and not latin.

On topic: I wear a thick italian gold chain. Hey, if you're going to do it, might as well go all the way.

Surely some jewellery can be deemed acceptable ?

 

[skalogre]

Finally got in my Breil bracelet. Does not look flash and it is in colours I wear, brushed steel and dark brown leather. Great!

 

[effortlesstyle]

Every man needs two things...a nice watch, and a good pair of shoes. I personally wear a watch, a wedding band, and what is known as a "scribe's" or "writer's" ring; an understated, sterling silver ring worn on the right index finger. Works for me.

I can't believe, of all the threads I start, this is the one that has the staying power.
