This May Be The Sign Of A Man: Silver Jewelry

A mother who has seen her son wearing a silver necklace might say, “You are not much of a man. Silver jewelry is not worn by a real man.”  A mother who makes that statement should be prepared for proof that she is wrong. A male youth with a necklace can be a real man. Silver jewelry has long decorated both the clothing and bodies of real men. The following article offers further evidence of that fact. Even if he’s not much of a reader, a young man with a silver necklace might want to read the following article.No one would question the ability of a brave and dashing knight to think of himself as a true man. Silver jewelry, an item
more frequently seen on a woman, was sometimes worn by the manly medieval knight. For added protection in battle, a knight might wear gothic finger armor. Such finger armor was fashioned from handcrafted silver.

The word “Viking” could easily be equated with the expression “real man.” Silver jewelry felt the ocean spray, when it was worn by Norsemen who sailed upon the seas. . Like the finger armor, such Nordic jewelry contained handcrafted silver.

Celtic rings represent yet another example of silver jewelry worn by very manly men. As fashions changed, men with a fondness for silver jewelry sought out new ways to satisfy their desire to possess silver accessories.  That challenge faced some of America’s toughest men, the gun slinging cowboys.

More than one cowboy saw the gun in his holster as unquestionable evidence that he was a man. Silver jewelry thus showed-up in proximity to that gun. Cowboys became proud of their silver belt buckles.

A gambling cowboy defending his winnings was generally seen as a real man. Silver jewelry often held the winnings that that cowboy defended. Many cowboys had money clips that had been made from handcrafted silver.

While there are few modern-day cowboys, and no more true Vikings, there remains a market for jewelry that appeals to both young and old men. After all, who would dare to say, “You are not a man. Silver jewelry such as those cuff links would not be worn by a real man.”

Some men buy silver chains. Others might purchase a leather bracelet that’s been decorated with handcrafted silver. And men with a fondness for jewelry do not always search for sliver jewelry.

So what form does gold take on a real man? Gold jewelry can be quite striking and manly, when it has been designed from a gold coin. Then a gold figure “floats” inside the coin’s rim. A man can find such gold jewelry by conducting an online search.

No one can say for sure what jewelry might appear on some future man. Silver jewelry could be part of a future cell phone. Perhaps men will find an alternative to the charms that some girls now put on their cell phones.

Men are not about to develop a dislike for adornments. Televised commercials underline the male passion for chrome accessories on an automobile. Men who like to see chrome on a car are also apt to have a fondness for silver jewelry.

That fact would seem to bolster certain claims. It would seem to back-up any predictions about a continued interest among males for both silver and gold jewelry.
