In ancient times, men had as many jewels as women, but thanks to history and cultures, the popularity of men's jewelry was waxed and weakened. In the early history of jewelry making, men and women were mainly used to denote strength and class; in fact, only the richest and most powerful could afford to wear jewelry. In ancient Egypt and in Mesopotamia, jewelry wore a character both among men and women. Only in ancient Greece and Rome, only jewelry was associated primarily with women, although rich people still wore rings. Later in Europe, the practice of wearing wedding rings arose, but was attributed only to women.
Wedding rings for men
Moving rapidly to the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to large-scale marketing campaigns conducted by large diamond companies, we now see that the concept of an engagement ring for men and an engagement ring for women are beginning to appear. During this period, men had to wear wedding rings, but all other jewelry was limited to women. A man was not considered very manly to wear any jewelry behind a wedding ring. During the Second World War, there was also a significant reduction in the production of jewelry for women, since precious metals were used to finance the war.
In the late 1940s, after the end of World War II, men's luxury watches became more popular, as well as cufflinks and tie clips for those who could afford them. The subject of jewelry continued as an indicator of personal status and wealth. With the advent of the century, and some metals and alloys became available and affordable, jewelers began to produce more items specifically designed for men. Meanwhile, cultural norms governing what was considered “suitable” for men and women to wear weakened, and men's jewelry became more common. The 1970s witnessed the growing popularity of chain necklaces for men, single earrings, and rings that are worn exclusively for decoration, unlike wedding bands.
Modern men's jewelry
Later, there was widespread use of jewelry in the form of body modification in the form of nose piercing, eyebrows, tongues and other parts of the body, all of which have roots in ancient cultures, but in the past few decades have been embroidered again in modern Western culture to remain trenders who have always been in terms of fashion and accessories, and numerous male celebrities have been seen in various forms of jewelry, including pendants, bracelets, bracelets, earrings, as a single s and double. Currently, jewelry for men lies in a very strong segment of the jewelry market in the United States and Europe, where more and more manufacturers devote their resources to developing innovative projects to meet huge demand. It is no longer the jewelry area of women; more and more items are being offered each year in the form of men's wedding rings, stud earrings, chains, bracelets and more.
