Mens Necklaces – Fashion And Statement

Mens Necklaces

When we think of jewelry for men, we usually think of rings and watches, the occasional gold bracelet, maybe cuff links. Mens necklaces don’t always come to mind. Perhaps it has something to do with how differently men dress from women. Many women have a propensity to wear lower cut tops, especially when dressing for an evening on the town, so it is natural for them to adorn the neck with a complimentary piece of jewelry.
Men, on the other hand, are much more likely to wear shirts with collars that cover up or hide the neckline, making it unnecessary to sport a necklace.

Mens necklaces, therefore, are worn more for statement than for adornment. From the Stone Age to present time, indigenous males continue to wear pieces of hide with stone or bone pendants around the neck. Beads are strung and worn for ceremonial purposes.
Necklaces crafted from turquoise and silver by Native American craftsmen such as the Navajo and Zuni are highly prized pieces of jewelry, worn by men and women alike.

Mens necklaces tend to be crafted with heavier materials, such as thicker chains and heavier cord, thereby maintaining a more masculine look. Men have a tendency to prefer pendants that reflect who they are or what their beliefs are, such as religious or patriotic symbols. Men also choose pendants that are fashioned from materials more in tune with nature such as wood and stone. Today, mens necklaces aren’t just about fashion, but about fashion and statement.
