Men's jewelry has evolved from an antique status symbol to a modern, versatile accessory. Today, the spectrum ranges from minimalist designs to eye-catching statement pieces that express individuality and style. This text is aimed at those interested in jewelry which, from our company's perspective, suits people who feel comfortable with masculine jewelry.
Men's jewelry has a long and varied history dating back to ancient times. Even in ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, men wore jewelry as status symbols. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, rings, necklaces and brooches were not only used for decoration, but also for symbolism and identification, for example by noblemen and knights. In the 18th and 19th centuries, pocket watches, cufflinks and signet rings became indispensable accessories for style-conscious men. In Bern, for example, the famous "beret necklace" was created as men's jewelry.
In the 20th century, men's jewelry experienced a turning point. Functionality took center stage, as with watches and tie pins. The youth culture of the 1950s and 1960s brought leather bracelets and eye-catching chains into fashion. In the 1980s and 1990s, hip-hop and pop culture gave rise to a new wave of extravagant jewelry, especially gold chains and diamonds.
In Switzerland in particular, watches are a perennial favorite when it comes to men's jewelry. Even today, many men still opt for a watch "at most". However, the world of men's jewelry is far more diverse - and not just for young men. This article will therefore refrain from discussing watches further. Jewelry lovers who perhaps want to get a little more used to extravagant jewelry can also go the traditional route, such as the trend of the signet ring in combination with a gemstone.
Modern men's jewelry is characterized by a mixture of minimalism and individuality. The current trends include:
