Male Jewellery
Mens jewellery brands have exploded over
the last decade. Good male grooming has become normal
practise. Now we even have rugby stars such as Gavin
Henson openingly discussing how he shaves his legs.
Back in centuries past it was normal for me to fuss
over their appearence. Think of the Royal court of King
Charles and how vain men were in the period of the French
revolution for instance? Men preening and grooming themselves
to a point of effeminate obscession is nothing new,
but now men appear to be more concerned about their
looks than their female counterparts. Consider the hours
of focussed attention to detail that sessions in the
gym represent? These hours of arduously pushing weights
to increase muscle size and sculpt physiques to a perceived
perfection is all about vanity and now mens jewellery
ranges can adorn those prefected physiques in very individualised
styles, although, all the ranges are about vanity. mens
jewellery used to represent status, position and achievement,
but now that status and position are bought off the
shelf in mass produced designs and styles with the only
value applied being appearance. Still, go for it guys!
It is an ever changing world...
