What are your thoughts on young guys in their twenties who wear jewellery? I've always really fancied the idea of wearing a necklace (e.g. silver chain), couple of rings and a bracelet - but never have had the confidence to do so, mainly because (1) I don't think I'd be able to put it off (2) I am quite a quiet guy so maybe wouldn't suit my personality or (3) my friends and family would think it looked a bit odd and random all of a sudden. What should I do? I have never been given jewellery as a present but I don't want to ask for it! How can I introduce myself to it gradually?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with guys wearing jewellery! You could start with the silver chain and then maybe get a bracelet to match. The rings sound good too. Don't worry about what your friends and family think, as long as you feel comfortable that's all that matters!

I'm a grandmom and I think jewelry can look good on men of any age provided it's done in good taste. Perhaps you might want to look around and see what other men your age are wearing that's not too ostentatious. What about starting out with something like one of those leather and bead bracelets or necklaces that have a craft like appearance and see what the reaction is. If you feel comfortable with it, then maybe graduate to a good quality gold or silver rope chain. Have some fun and do what makes you feel good about your appearance.

I am not one for jewelry on men. Big thick silver necklaces with fake bling is not impressive at all. Even if it is real, I think that it is overkill. If you are wanting to wear jewelry though start with something simple. If you are religious start with something like a nice cross, or crucifix, or whatever. Something very modest. I find myself strangely attracted to men who show their spirituality in this way.
Or, in lieu of jewelry, buy yourself a nice wrist watch. Nautical style is the best for men.
Rings, I would definitely stay away from, unless you are married of course. And I would really think twice, about wearing bracelets.
But really just do/ wear whatever you feel you will like and be comfortable in. That is the key to pulling anything that is fashionable off. Comfort and confidence.

Start off by wearing as silver chain round your neck under your clothes, and then start wearing v neck tops to show it off If anyone comments just say ive been wearing it a while just havent noticed it. People wont think it is strange .
Then get a ring (Dont wear it on your wedding finger, otherwise people will comment) just tell people you thought it looked nice. I wouldnt get everything and wear it at once.
People change and try out different looks all the time, I wouldnt think it was strange for someone to experiment.

I would say start of with the silver chain bcos i feel that its quite masculine and there is nothing wrong with guys wearing jewellery. I think men look better wearing silver however. But that'll be down to u if u wanna wear gold or silver

My b/f wears 2 earings(in 1 ear). He wears a gold hoop. He also has LOADS of big chains, bracelets and rings. He sometimes wears them, but peronally I think less is more. Plus if you are quite quiet, you may be a target to get mugged(this happens a lot). Your family might like the idea, because it's a great xmas gift idea.

Personally, I have never worn jewellery other than a watch.
I have always thought that jewellery on men is nothing more than a display of wealth. The problem is, unless you have great wealth, jewellery either looks brassy or a bit girlie.

i wouldnt say that going the whole hog is neseccary, my boyfriend wears a gold curb necklace and i find it rather sexy, when i catch a glimpse of it under his shirt collar, i dont likesilver myself so i wouldnt reccommened wearing silver, gold is always nice, but dont go for rings, i dont see the point on a man unless he is married, or it has sentimental value, ( my boyfriend wears his mums wedding ring on his little finger and thats very sexy)
i reccommend that you start with a chain of some sort, not too big and see how it looks then carry on with how you feel, it doesnt matter what your friends think it how you feel chicken

Rings or a chain- yes
Bracelt- a little girly
By the way dog tags on a guy look really cool. That's the best way to go in my opinion.
