Men's Earrings - Current Trend @ Jewel Info 4 U
By: Basundhara Mitra
Jewelry today has ceased to be a
woman-dominated arena. Even a few
decades ago, men's jewelry was
restricted to gold watches,
bracelets and 'kadas.' Today,
however, man competes with woman in
terms of adornment. If the lady has
her silver, gold and diamond
earrings, chains, pendants,
necklaces and nose studs, can the
gentleman be far behind?
Experimenting with jewelry, one of
the greatest successes of the male
society has been the earring. The
earring, especially the stud, has
become a unisex accessory, setting
off personal styles to perfection.
Although male ear piercing
originated as a sign of rebellion,
it is now a sign of urban elegance.
At the apex of elegant accessorizing
is the diamond stud which, while
enhancing the beauty of the lady,
also adds to the macho image of the
trendy man. The single stud with a
single rock, ranging in various
sizes has become not a passing
fashion statement but a lasting
style statement influenced largely
by the Hip Hop culture.
Silver, gold or platinum hoops
are other popular styles of men's
earrings. Worn either in one lobe or
both, hoops can be in pierced holes
or clip-on ones. Bali hoops (with
pin catch) are also favored among
the fashionable urbanite.
Dangling crosses, bars, beads and
drops are worn by the bolder men to
enhance their distinctive fashion
sense.
Earrings in the Tiffany styles often
adorn the ears of celebrities and
rock stars.
Ball earrings on wire or posts
are the simplest and coolest way to
boost the tough guy image.
Another tasteful trend is the
multi gemstone earrings with
combinations of various precious and
semi precious stones like rubies,
emeralds, amethyst, sapphire,
peridot, tanzanite, topaz, opal and
other bright stones in prong, bezel
or decorative settings.
Logo earrings are also 'in' with
various symbols like that of
Superman, Cadillac or the New York
Yankees leading the trend.
Huggy earring (where the settings
hug the earlobe), stick-on earrings
(with adhesive backing), magnetic
earrings (where the earring is held
on by a magnet at the back of the
earlobe), ball closure rings (or
captive bead rings) are other
fancier varieties of macho earrings
that can be used for multiple ear
piercing, too.
The eclectic range of men's
earrings that dominates the male
jewelry taste today, is a clear
indication that the earring has
overcome the boundary between the
two sexes and has become a means of
portraying a personal sense of
fashion and style.
