How do you feel about men's jewelry?I'd like something special but feel self conscious
>>18628272Not for me. I don't have cool tanned arms and big hands. I'm pale and my hands look stupidly small with almost tapered fingers. I don't want to bring any attention to my hands. Women already tend to see them and make some sort of mental ineligibility note as if I FOR SURE have no dick based on my hands. Shallow bitches.
>>18628272A watch and a cross necklace under my shirt is the extent of the jewellery I wear. Also cufflinks rarely when the dress code necessitates it.
>>18628272Watch, wedding ring, crucifix. Anything other than that is superficial, feminine adornment.
>>18628334larping retard
The only reason a man wears jewelry is that they can't keep their money in a bank.Literal untermensch tier
>>18628334wow ur so cool
>>18628334Let me guess. You became a christian in the last 5 years or so?
>>18628301>necklace under my shirtBeta move
>>18628672Would you care to elaborate? It's there for a personal reason to remind me of Christ and also holds sentimental value since my deceased mother gave it to me as a confirmation gift. It's not to flaunt, be performative or a style choice.
>>18628272I think it can look good on a guy that has a more "out there" vibe. If you wanted to go this route id recommend only wearing tasteful, high quality jewelry. Avoid skulls, or anything that looks like its from 2006 era Hot Topic. Religious jewelry is normally never even specifically noticed unless it looks really good or it looks expensive. In order of least to most risky fit; rings>necklace>piercings>bracelets. If you have a facial piercing then its easier to wear more outlandish jewelry.
I'm Johnny Depp and I approve of this thread.
>>18628366Larping as what?>>18628380Meaningless blabber.>>18628407Let's assume I did, how is that relevant to the topic at hand?
>>18628272hate it. same reason I stopped wearing a watch. feels like a prison. I like to wear very minimal clothing and am naked most the time at home
>>18628272What are you looking for exactly?
>>18628366>>18628380>>18628407kys troons
>>18628272Watch, silver crucifix+necklace, silver ring that I got from my mom, silver bracelet that my mom got from her God father, and occasionally a pocket watch
>>18628272I only do rings, bracelets complete the look but I have more fun finding and wearing rings. They are more fun to match with each other and the mood of the day. My ring collection is growing but I'm glad it hasn't reached saturation levels which keeps prices reasonable. You can even get gold rings for spot so it's free money with prices going up.
>>18628272Heres a couple of my chains
>>18629170
>>18628334This.
>>18629172I have that exact same watch. What are the chances?
>>18628334And a crucifix is superSTITIOUS. lolThere is no god.
>>18629253Tell me you are a consumerist swine whose perception of the world is limited to the sensual, carnal and material world without telling me you are a consumerist swine whose perception of the world is limited to the sensual, carnal and material world.You actually believe Christianity is about believing in a bearded uncle in the sky finger waving at you.
>>18628272>How do you feel about men's jewelry?i don't think anything about it unless it's something silly like that guy in the pic with his hands full of random metal trinkets>I'd like something special but feel self consciousthen get something and wear it. you'll probably know what looks tacky and what doesn't if you have bare minimum taste.
>>18629411>tell me.... without telling meReally, that's enough of those. Unoriginal and really a bore to see. You don't get to tell me what I "actually believe". The fact that you believe any of that shit instantly makes you 10 times dumber than I am. It's a huge weakness in your mental ability to fall for such silly ancient scams. How did people like you end up on this website? Really, I'd like to know. Less than ten years you've been here. That much is for certain. But what was it? Did you get booted off traditional social media for your views? What attracted you to this place? It's just so very strange that a "man of god" would be on this dumb forum righteously defending religious brainwashing. Christians don't act that way. I don't believe any of that shit but I know way more about it than you do. You're doing it all wrong. Turn the other cheek.
>>18628682>to remind me of ChristGod’s not real.>sentimental value since my deceased mother gave it to me as a confirmation giftOh great, yet another stupid whore who conditioned their spawn into believing in made-up fairy tales.Anyway, all that is beside the point. That, yes, you wearing that necklace is absolutely performative, really. One day, that necklace is going to go in the trash or be smelted. Not by you, per se, but it will happen. Such is the fate of all material things.

>>18629765>$575 for 95-105g of silveryou're paying a massive premium on brand and other bullshit if you actually pay that much
>>18628272A wedding ring and a wristwatch are the only pieces of jewelry a man should wear on a daily basis. A tie-bar when in a coat or suit is also acceptable, as are cufflinks on formal occasions.
>>18629528A godfag/pedo weeb. Hilarious combination.
>>18629531Whoosh
>>18629541Do they make fake $20 watches though? And how much would it cost? Who can't afford $20?
>>18629831It's actually a pretty profitable business. Fake casios are not homages like SKMEI watches, they are literal clones being sold as genuine Casio watches and they are dirt cheap to make because modules similar to the one used in the f91w can be bought for pennies

>>18628272can look fine if your style/wardrobe/lifestyle supports it. can look like a cry for help otherwise. i adore turquoise and the aesthetics of native american jewelry, but i'm not johnny depp or a new mexico ranch owner so something simple like picrel (but 2x or 3x the size) would suit me without looking like a costume. origin of the stone would be meaningful to me as well. i want it from the american southwest, not some chinashit. thanks 4 reading my blog
>>18629469>>18629469My mum isn't religious. It's a coming of age rite of passage kind of thing.
what the fuck can I use in my silver chain besides a crucifix? I'm not religious
>>18630197A chain minus the crucifix is just a giant "I'm gay" flag.
>>18628334>Crucifix Golem retard
>>18630225This is you
>>18628272I enjoy rings a lot, sometimes even a chain, but can't stand having something on my wrists. I have big hands but thin wrists so stuff keeps dancing on my wrists instead of standing still

wearing bracelets got me a gf that was into men without fragile masculinity
>>18628272Looks cool if you're the leathery wiry scruffy man type. Stupid otherwise.
Sure. Astrological ring. 22k gold. Never wore jewelry before but I like the way this looks.
>>18628272You've only got one life. Wear whatever you want.
>>18628272There are a lot of “based” and “trad” faggots out there that will try to convince you not to wear jewelry. George Jones wasn’t one of them. Be like George Jones.>>18629411>>18628334Why are you faggots even on a fashion board?
>>18628334Yes, well, you are on a fashion board; we have an appreciation of the superficial here. >>18629828Luce isn't 'weeb shit' >>18631247Silver bracelets and bangles can be very nice, although I've stopped wearing mine regularly since taking up swimming. I like wearing them 24/7 so the constant taking them on and off was enough friction to get me to stop.>>18631656To be fair, a wedding ring, a watch, and a crucifix are actually good advice since we're on /fa/ and people's taste here is generally terrible. These constraints prevent them from looking tackier than they are. I've seen far too many guys drop several hundred dollars on ugly Etsy dogshit, and thin chains that make them look like retarded Mexicans. It really depends on your style, and I haven't seen anyone on this board dress well enough to justify wearing lots of jewelry since Covid. Somewhat surprised at how angry people got at him, drop the cross if you're an atheist, nbd. Doing le epic internet atheism is so passe.
>>18628378>Over 10000 years of men wearing jewelry >Read this retarded shit.
>>18632615>Doing le epic internet atheism is so passe.Being a based trad catholic convert is the big thing this year.
>>18632773No, that's also passe.I thought this was supposed to be a fashion board. Why are you retards so provincial?
>>18632786“Provincials” are more fashionable, city slicker. You look like a goober walking around the mall just to be seen wearing $1200 Celine dogshit.
"city slickers" do not go to malls lol
>>18628272I wouldn't mind some, but I feel like it would have to be something special, like an important gift or something. I don't just want to wear trinkets. Doesn't help that every piece of jewelry I've seen I don't think would look good on me so I just stick to a watch.
I used to wear this all the time and then at some point I lost it. It's a tiny turqouise pendant I got from the american indian shop at the superstition springs mall. If one of you guys has it please give it back.
>>18632791Christ that’s embarrassing. You couldn’t have waterboarded this idiocy out of anyone except you.
big fan of gold
>>18628272i like silver but a lot of silver jewelry is shitty, like the rings in that picrough cheap looking shithowever silver has a lot more variety than gold because it's so comparatively cheap to makewhen it comes to gold jewelry with high quality standards there's a pretty strict amount of variety in the west. you have cubans, flat curbs, figaros francos ropes as what's super popular then some retro stuff like mariners, hermes links, and when it comes to rings there's much less variety unless you're buying vintage.as far as what's being produced right now in various sizes it's all basically figaros francos ropes cubans and flat curbs. there's not nearly the same variation in modern rings let alone bangles or bracelets or pendants as you see in silver.jesus piece, mary, the hamsa, etc.i tend to like rarer niche pieces like gucci links, signets figaros and japanese stuff
>>18629170Do you stack them together? What is the length, quality and width?I have a small 2.5mm 23k chain I regret purchasing. It's beautiful, but I've broken it about 3 times because it's too delicate. Thinking of going 14k or 18k next purchase.
>>18628272>How do you feel about men's jewelry?Cringe and gay.
I like it but I don't care to the point of buying one for me. I do got a question though. I've got this silver chain from father who died when I was a kid. It's literally the only item I got from him since he died in prison and shit.Anyway my aunt kept this chain for the longest time (actually 22 years) so no one would lose it or take it and she wanted to give it to me. And i tought it was really cool of her.The issue that it's fucking ugly as fuck. And I got a brother. So I was wondering if it's worth it to take this chain to a jeweler and make it into something else. What requirements the chain have to have to be transformable?
>>1863318323k is not delicate but it has to be thick and heavy enoughi wouldn't go under like 2~mm and that's only with designs like a franco but to be safe i'd say 3-3.5but even 2-3.5mm 22+k is expensive as fuck these days. it depends on the chain design too. some designs i would outright avoid like thin singapore links
>>18633260post the chainit might just be tarnished, if it's real silver, and can be restoredif it's real a jeweler can do anything with it by melting it down and reshaping it but you'll be paying a lot for the labor + extra materiali would say just restore it maybe, post it i'll appraise it if possibleany markings? 925 sterling/925/950/999?
>>18633308No markings, no idea. It was probably made in Morocco.
>>18633315is there a smell? magnetic attraction?definitely looks silver, in the franco/foxtail style. it's not ugly at all dude, you just need to detranish it. it may be thai. hopefully not indian but it looks 925 but there's a possibility it's 999. .950 is ideal for strength and appearance due to reduced copper content.you can detarnish it by either getting the chemical kits or you can get some aluminum foil, shiny side up IIRC, boiling some water and dumping baking soda in the hot water with the chain and the tarnish will transfer to the foil. you may have to do it a few times if its heavily tarnished. i think you should just wear it honestly, it's handsome. that's what i like about silver, the designs are more unique and varied than high quality mass produced gold chains.i tire of the same old rope, franco, cuban flat curb shit in gold. here's a small sample of what i most commonly wear >>18633118i've picked up some 18k pendants since then and i plan to get a silver moissanite ring or something and some signets
>>18633315it looks high quality but stiff due to its construction so i wouldn't sleep in it unless it's a choker, but man, you've got a relic. i would keep it and detarnish it if it bothers you but you should rock that shit. it's a treasure from your family and honestly most people love this design, it's in the same class as francos and those are extremely popular. honor your father and rock it. even if he was a bad guy or something if that is the case you should rock it as a genuine family heirloom and put your own legacy in it
>>18633336Thanks for the tips, no it doesn't smell like anything special. I don't have any magnets to test either. The problem isn't that it's ugly really, it's that's it's too thick and short so when I'm wearing it it's just a metalic choker like a goth girl would wear. I can see how it would have been better looking in the 80's though.>>18633337Yeah it's a choker. Ngl I'd wear it if the style wasn't too much. I don't even swear jewelry and when I used to, I hade a thin silver necklace. Thanks for the words man, yeah he was a bad man, left me pretty traumatized but yeah it's cool to have something from him. I don't know why I'm willing to put the effort but I will.
>>18633347where does it sit? slightly below, on the collarbone or slightly above? the kind of shirt and collar you wear influences how your piece looks a lot. chokers can look really good in button ups.have you measured it? it looks 4-6mm thick and i imagine 40-60 grams and if it's a choker on you that means probably 18-20 inches. you could take it to a jeweler to have it shortened into a bracelet, maybe two if it's long enough if it is you could do that and give one to your brother and keep the other. bracelets are typically 6.5-8.5 inches
>>18633351In the end, it doesn't sit that bad. I have tried it only once and maybe its thickness threw me off but it's not really a choker. It's still thick as fuck. > jeweler to have it shortened into a braceletThats was my initial thought. Exactly so I could give the other to my brother and we would have both an item from our old man. I guess I'll go ask that. Thanks for the replies anons.
>>18628334All of it is superficial.Watches are a luxury.Crucifix are childlish. They are like adult pacifiers for people who think they will get good mana from the big daddy in the sky.Wedding rings don't mean shit. None of the men in my family wear a wedding ring and my grandfather was married for 60 years or something.
>>18629250>I have that exact same watch. What are the chances?very high actually
>>18633744man i dunno that looks pretty good on youit's 50/50 on if a jeweler could separate it into 2 full bracelets, if not i would just keep it it looks good
>>18633744I would keep it like that and wear it tbqh
>>18628272No jewelry outside of a watch is acceptable. Men that adorn themselves in this way are female-brained attention seekers and this is a fact.
>>18632770>>Cites ancient history as evidence >>Ignores recent history of modern civilizationSomeone here is retarded and it's definitely you. Jewelry is for women, selling it and making it is for men because women can't be trusted with handling anything of value.
Friendly reminder if you wear thicker rings, probably 5mm+, to make sure you really rinse your hands and get all the soap off when you wash them because if any soap gets stuck under the ring you can get contact dermatitis really bad I had a pretty good rash on my finger from this
>>18635062by owning and wearing jewelry, women are handling things of value
>>18635068Thanks, I wash my hands often and it's the most annoying thing about wearing rings. I usually take them off but then I forget to put them back.
>>18635078I have a special key ring on my keys just for my wedding ring that is only one loop around for times when I need to take it off. I had a clip one before but they're too bulky and annoying.
>>18635078It's never happened to me with my thinner rings. But I have a 925 sterling silver ring that's a thick boi and I got some soap under it and it gave me a proper burn
>>18635056>No jewelry outside of a watch is acceptable.To who, and any tips for making myself to want to be accepted by them?
