Knowing how to accessorize an outfit is extremely important as the right cuban link chain or cufflinks could really accentuate a look. There also happens to be jewelry, that if worn long enough could become a part of the wearer’s persona or public image. The hip hop world has several examples of this in the 80s when artists like L.L. Cool J, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick and Run DMC made the rope chain a necessary addition to any and every clothing combination. This trend became a lifestyle with millions and millions of fans who not only wanted to look like their heroes but wanted the adornments to identify with them.

Now there are countless reasons, or to be more accurate, expectations that women would be more attached to their jewelry – with good reason. However, there are many examples of men being as attached, sometimes even more to their rings, chains and other ornaments they fancy. Jewels and jewelry are considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The dazzling sparkle in jewelry is symbolic of light and brilliance. In some cultures, certain precious stones are showcased as an association with spiritual power to ward off evil spirits and negative energies. The latter thought would explain why there are quite a few people who never leave some of their favorite pieces behind, no matter the situation or circumstance. A meaningful token, allowing men to express part of their personality or carrying with it a significance. While public figures and musical artistes might choose more gaudy options, the average man has been steered by society to take the more minimalist path. By avoiding multiple accessories, young men could avoid falling  into the trap of looking youthful and not to be taken seriously, rather than being a focused, mature professional. So the main idea is that men should always select jewelry that is deemed appropriate to the occasion and location, and that is also respectful and tasteful. Here is a select set of jewelry pieces that fit into modern day mens fashion.
