cockatoo Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 So for pride month I got a dogtag style necklace with the pride flag on it and I liked the feeling of wearing a necklace + it's a cute addition to an outfit. Now I don't really fancy wearing pride merch all year round but I quite like the idea of getting some more jewellery. The problem I've found is a lot of men's jewellery is either aggressively masculine (chains with random things on the end of them like grenades), really tacky (gold chains) or religious (crucifixes, st christopher's cross etc). I'd quite like something a bit more understated and not too masculine. Does anyone wear jewellery? Where do you buy it from and do you have any recommendations?
TaylorNation Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I have the same problem as you, I want to wear jewelry but don’t know where to begin. All the brands I like are aimed at women so the sizes are too small for me. But I quite like Arket, COS and & Other Stories, they have nice necklaces and rings
jesus del rey Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) I love wearing jewelry. Luckily, I have friends who make pearl necklaces or stained glass necklace pieces so I don't need to buy more. Edited July 8, 2023 by jesus del rey 1
Devin Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I mainly wear necklaces, earrings, and watches. For more formal occassions I wear rings.
JayG Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Necklaces, rings, watches and bracelets but in black/matte/silver. Rarely wear gold (dont like the look of it). Brand wise - not too sure. I usually dig deep online and then keep those pieces and wear them repeatedly. Edited July 8, 2023 by JayG

Given your style, you can do a simple cuban link necklace with a nice bracelet that match. That combo is effective for both casual and formal attire. My mom always bought me expensive jewelry as gifts so I saved some til I got older (or could grow into them). I have both gold and silver but prefer silver mainly bc gold has different shades and its easy to clock who’s wearing cheap gold vs quality.
jezebelvictoria Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I’ve been wearing the same gold chain bracelet for almost 20 years. I’ve also had the same diamond earrings in for 11 years. I’ll be wearing my rings again soon.
schnetzka Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I hate jewelry of any kind and would never wear any. Don't know why but I just do not like them. 1

I quite like the idea of a matching bracelet/necklace combo yeah. And I've also noticed that about gold. I'm not afraid of spending a bit more money but I think it has to be something I really love.
Goaty Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I impulsively bought a silver necklace last month and I’ve been enjoying that much more than I thought I would? Never worn anything else though
Timber Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I don't. I've tried but I feel kind of uncomfortable with jewelry.
Gyal Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) YES OMG I think there's something so cute about decorating yourself in cool metals and stones I buy a lot of silver jewelry from etsy, they have really nice stuff if you're willing to search and it's cheap cheap too - I like plain things, like tennis bracelets and chains but i do wear crosses and stuff layered with other necklaces. I adore my earrings too and I saw lil uzi wearing anklets, so i bought some too aaand i love them Edited July 8, 2023 by Gyal 1
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 only a watch sometimes. mostly an apple watch
Pop Life Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) All the time! I like to peruse through smaller boutiques whenever I travel and magpie one or two new pieces to add to my collection. Beyond my wedding ring I mostly wear various pendants necklaces, but I'll don a string of two of pearls on occasion Edited July 9, 2023 by Pop Life
Gladiator Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I have a silver necklace that I use to channel and manifest my inner **** boy.
DamianSolo Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I like wearing bracelets and necklaces with crystals and pendants. Though I do accessorize, I don't wear any type of actual jewelry.
Anye Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I wear watch on my left hand and white gold ring on my right middle finger
blaggot Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 yeah I started wearing a necklace, rings, and a bracelet in 2021 and can’t leave the house without them now
