I think men look fine in pearls. I would just be afraid they would be too hard on them. I don't wear pearl rings or bracelets because I'm forever banging my hands on walls as I go around corners.
Love the article Blaire ... and Thanks! to our PG men in pearls models Definitely trending upward too ... yesterday, in a TINY lighthouse museum shop at the cutest equally tiny lighthouse in MD, there was a shelf of "pirates" merchandise for children: books, tiny treasure chests, star charts, treasure maps AND ... the Pirate version of a Pick-A-Pearl kit. Tiny can with tiny mussel, a little book, pirate treasure graphics on the package, and a little necklace for the pearl ... the cage was a skeleton skull and crossbones design LOL. I resisted getting one for grandson ... barely
My son keeps asking me to make him a pearl on leather cord...guess what he's getting for Christmas? Now all I need is the perfect leather cord...any good sources?
Mmmm, that pirate-pick-a-pearl, pretty clever idea! Not sure I could walk away either, lol. Yes, I enjoy seeing men in pearls; it says something about their individuality and confidence for sure. Both my sons are very traditional, though the 2 Grandsons have shown an appreciation for masculine jewelry, but not pearls yet.
Great article, Blaire! Was hoping to see Steve Metzler's natural abalone and pipi lapel pin included. If it turns up I'll post it.
I love this article I hope there continues to be a shift in what is considered "Men's" jewelry. I'm biased admittedly and many things I own are very non traditional (Pearl Spider tie tags, or black metal and black pearls). I wish more guys were secure enough in themselves to wear what pleases them not others….there should be no "Rules" when it comes to jewelry, though I know I am in the minority with that.
One thing that pushed me to seek the unusual, well it was every website, every jewelry store has tons of cuff links, tie tacks and tie bars, its overkill. Not every guy wears cuff links everyday…so I wanted to find things I would not see else where. Pearls are not a common jewelry item for guys, and its a shame because there is more to life than pearl cuff links and tie tacks…but hey that's just me.
Lars is a new source of inspiration…there is not a "Rocker" vibe about me, but his look is edgy and confident!
It was cute, Pattye ... if only I could make my own kit, with a real mussel vacuum sealed etc for grandson as opposed to pick-a-pearl Hubby Walter hasn't agreed to wear a pearl either ... YET. I bet if it was designed into one of his beloved bolo ties he'd wear it ...
