Men's jewelry
There have been times in history when men wore as much (or even more!) jewellery as women. Historically, men were the first to wear diamond jewellery, for example, representing invincibility and immortality! In recent years, the concept of 'masculinity' has become less significant and with it, the traditional boundaries between male and female fashion have become blurred. Although jewellery was usually seen as something feminine, we now see men experimenting with it more than ever!
