Mens Rings, Symbolisms & Male Self-Expression

This is written for girls who don’t understand their own man’s interest in buying Mens Rings and who moan about their men’s style experimentation.

And to the segment of men jewelry haters out there--isn't it time to evolve?

Decades ago, words like 'rings, jewelry, AND men' only came together during grand jewelry heist, or when one thinks of archaic royalty and fat fingers of greedy bankers, mafia, and industrialists. Back then, men rings were all about displays of wealth and power.

Then men’s rings became about music and creativity as more and more male musicians strummed their guitars, gyrated in their music videos, and emphasized their rap or hip hop lyrics with the thumpin and pumpin of their fingers laden with mens jewelry rings.

Of course, at the same time individualists, bikers, and other talented men who know their employers cannot refuse them because of their skills, and who refused to live life according to ‘most people’s rules,' were the early adopters of mens jewelry rings.

And in this century wherein what you wear is part of your BRAND & IMAGE, which in turn is heavily connected to your earning power, wearing mens jewelry rings has become a way for men to attract, impress, foster confidence in their capabilities, and retain the attention of their bread and butter---whether they are fans, client, or investors.

Some male athletes and celebrities even have their own line of mens jewelry or men rings collection from Russel Simmons, P. Diddy, to the bad ass men from Orange Country Choppers.

And when having their own voice and valuable contribution counted more than simply executing other people’s instructions---straight men (even those who do not classify themselves as metrosexual) did not feel restricted from trying out accessories and mens jewelry beyond the common belt, cuff links, expensive watch, and shoes.

There are also men like Johnny Depp who have distinguished themselves because their choices in men's rings give an impression of authentic self-expression and not fake PR.

And now back to your own man, Johnny Depp had the freedom to experiment and grow into his style for years. Most probably your own man only had the last 5 years or so to feel comfortable about wearing men's ring and experimenting with his style or "his own thing".

Where years ago, even North American males who worked for corporate america had to curtail their self-expression like their Asian counterparts when it comes to work fashion and wearing rings for men---nowadays standing out more has become necessary to keep your job (as long as it gives a good impression to the clients that you are forward thinking, an out-of the-box thinker, and gutsy style innovator!)

Women also love receiving jewelry for their birthday or anniversary because more thought and preparation from your man has gone into choosing and buying your jewelry.

Buying jewelry for us middle-class working folks is not as simple as buying flowers or chocolates. And the emotional reward of surprising, exciting, and making your wife scream in appreciation induces a wonderful feeling of high. So maybe--- your man will also enjoy receiving some jewelry, like a mens ring that will fit his current fashion style too.

The next part of this post will be about helping you explore the different metals and designs of mens rings that can strengthen the impact of your man’s fashion style.

Notes for Women on the type of Bling their Men Want

· Of course the best advice is to ask your man or check out the bling he is currently wearing, or browsing when he goes into the jewelry shop with you.

· Nevertheless, silver mens ring jewelry, platinum, stainless steel, white gold, tungsten and titanium bands shaped in modern masculine styles are the safest jewelry gift choices for men. Men will appreciate them whether they come in a plain style or with a black enamel or jade, blue stone or other masculine colored stones.

· And when it comes to size, it should not overpower your mans hand, or be incongruent to his style. Opt for a sleeker style especially is he is conservative. But if your man is more urban, then the more chunky rings are better suited for him.

· Needless to say, wider bands look better in big men with wider hands (even conservative men), and narrower bands look better on men with slighter frame and more slender hands (even the more modern guy.)

· Tattoo and Biker inspired mens rings and classic symbol mens designs (for e.g. skulls) also remain popular with men. Choices of mens rings jewelry from the high-end to the less expensive pieces are available in stores and online.

· Silver also looks good on a man's tanned hand, and platinum is great for men with salt and pepper hair.

· These days, rings can be worn in any finger from the ring finger to the pinky without being too flashy. And if your man has doubts about wearing jewelry in the workplace, he can enjoy wearing his mens rings in a fun and sexy night out of town with you.
