Yay or Nay?

[Jokerman]

Ok so Ive wanted a necklace of some sort and today I found an heirloom that I thought would be cool to put on a chain but was wondering if it would be to much. It is a medal given to a family member from the french side during world war 1. All I would do is remove the ribbon which is pretty much already off and put it on a chain. But want to know do you think it would look to girly or bulky?

Please note pic is not of mine mine has alot more wear to it.

Just use it like it's meant to be used and pin it to your chest.

to be honest i can't picture it working with that piece. but the idea is good. i strongly believe that jewelry on men need to feel more found/ hand me down. something with a story. but that medal seems a bit too bulky.

what i did was made a pendant out of an antique coin from my ethnic heritage.

Yeah, let's not do that.

Am I the only one that finds defacing a family members medal so you can wear it as part of an outfit slightly distateful?
