A Heart Chain - Still Not For Men?
Ever seen a man wearing a heart chain?
With the advent of the Baby Boomer generation, jewellery for men has evolved at a high-speed rate, with many exotic innovations now commonly accepted even though they at first appeared eccentric - but there remain some “beyond the limit” items and a heart chain is just one example.
Times have changed rapidly since the 1960s and the hippie/free love generation. Until that time, twentieth century jewellery for men in western societies was generally confined to watches, cuff links and tie pins. Understatement, refinement and quality was the goal.
And any suggestion that it was appropriate and fashionable for men to wear earrings, to disply gold medallions around their necks or to have piercings in their eyes, nose, tongue (or whatever else has now come to be commonplace) would have been regarded as fitting only for savages.
Such decorations were for women only. Western societies believed that men’s jewellery should focus on functionality, leaving colour and beauty to the arena of the female of the species.
Yet in the four decades since then we have seen a cutural transformation. So in 2009, for example, we have completely accepted the “metrosexuals,” men who take such great pride in their looks and clothing that it is vitally important for them to be not just presentable but fashionable as well.
They believe that masculine jewelry such as man earrings make them good to look at without being “girly” or effeminate. They boldly wear necklaces, bracelets and earrings to complement their hair or eyes because this “accessorizing” enhances their looks. Rings, necklaces, bracelets and cufflinks all emphaisize their confidence, achievements and status.
Even the more conventional male members of society have been caught up in the enthusiasm of new ideas. Large gold rings or medallions, fancy cuff links and even bracelets can be found at all levels of society. What was once a caricature from a Hollywood film or a TV series and accepted as show business exaggeration (for example, Shaft, Starsky and Hutch or Miami Vice in the USA; Minder or Only Fools and Horse in the UK) is now commonplace in Denver or Dallas or London or Liverpool.
But there are some limits that remain to this day. Gold and silver medallions would be regarded with any sort of disdain by very few people these days and especially the young. But even in the age of equality of the sexes and equal rights for people of any color, religion or sexual persuasion, I suggest that a man walking down Main Street USA or High Street UK would be considered more than a little eccentric if he sported, for example, a gold, silver or diamond heart chain.
Am I living in an insulated part of the world or do you agree?

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
