Jewelry on your companion?

I love a necklace, under a shirt, especially with a hairy chest. But, I don't like men wearing them over their shirt.

Anything other than a watch and a wedding band on a man seems low class to me.

I don’t mind being given a pearl necklace.

Agree with OP. Jewelry of any sort on a man is a hard NO.

I was in an antique mall on Sunday and there were a couple of old queens milling about. One guy was covered in gold; chains, bracelets, rings, hoop earrings. He looked ridiculous.

I am fine with a tiara, because, well, it's a TIARA.

A guy at a pizza take-out wore several gold chains. Told me "girls like it." When I asked "what's girls?" he said "my customers." Go figure. The place is in Port Richmond on Staten Island.

My partner and I wear wedding bands, even though we aren't yet married. That's it for us. Necklaces are terribly tacky on men.

If the jewels are real and the metals are precious, the more the better. Harry Winston tiaras, chandelier earrings, and ginormous necklaces all welcome.

I should have added 'wedding bands' to my wristwatch preference. Yes, wedding rings are beautiful and an elegant addition to a man's hand.

Just no pinky rings, please!

HAIR toss, Check my nails, Slap on some jewelry and I'm GOOD AS HELL

I like rings (but no more than one per hand), earrings (studs) and nose piercings (ring or stud).

I always love finding new ways to wear diamonds.

I collect jewelry, both real and costume, and many of my things are wildly over the top...but I don’t wear them...I’m not Allan Carr.

I'm curious about why you find nose piercings attractive. The same with those lip or eyebrow piercings. There's something unsettling to me about having face piercings. Just curious about what you (or any other DLers) find attractive about face piercings.

I can't really explain it, OP. I feel like a nose piercing subtly changes a face in a way that makes it even more attractive to me (when I find the guy good-looking anyway). I've considered getting one myself, but decided against it. Firstly, I have a fat, weirdly shaped nose and drawing attention to it is probably not a good idea. Secondly, I'd be to afraid to get stuck somewhere with the piercing and rip my nose off. So yeah, while I like the way it looks, I definitely get that some people are creeped out by face piercings.

R13 Thanks. I never considered that it might make the face more attractive but I understand what you're saying. And it's interesting that you don't want one because you consider your nose weirdly shaped and don't want to draw attention to it. I never thought of facial piercings as enhancing already attractive features. I usually avert my gaze when I see them because I assume they're painful. I'm going to have to man up, look straight at one, and at least see what's behind it.

I'm not a tight asses judgemental sparkle pony cunt. I'm a gay guy and I'm happy to have nice and hot lovers - who cares what they wear.

R19 Interesting that you're not affected by jewelry on your partner, but you deny being a "sparkle pony cunt" -- sounds like you're torn.

Feel the same as OP. For some reason it just seems so trashy - especially the more you wear.

Years ago, I gave my BF an engraved ID bracelet like this. He doesn't wear it often, but when he does, I think he does to indulge me, which I think is sweet.

Wedding band is fine for married guys, a wristwatch (if it's simple and understated) is less ok because you can get the time from the phone in your pocket but I get that some men still prefer them.

Anything else is unacceptable. Jewelry is for women.

R23 That is a very recent idea. For the vast majority of history jewelry was completely acceptable for men AND women. We need to rediscover the idea that men can be expressive in their fashion and ditch the rut men have been stuck in since the Victorian age.

Sterling silver, and from Tiffany's, yet! MARY!

I wear a wristwatch and on the other hand one or another of my late dad’s rings special to and given to me by my mom. —Because, are you saying that only married men can enjoy and be entitled to wearing that additional ring-type of jewelry in addition to maybe a watch and look appropriate only?

I was flying once and saw this group: The alpha male was decked-out in Prada-labeled stuff of all kinds, and excessive jewelry. The subservient male was not as well decorated and even his posture was beta male. Both had girlfriends, too. They weren’t young cool guys with thumb rings. They were more like white trash from the bad side of Providence, RI.

Pierced nipples = deal breaker.

Providence trash does not wear Prada.

A tasteful ruby on a well scrubbed scrotum let's the boys know I'm ready for anything.

You'll never see me go out at night without my prized bejewelled stomacher!

Jewelry on men is just faggy

R32 Your truth not a universal truth. I'm constantly surprised at how closed minded some people on DL are when it comes to masculinity.

I used to wear a diamond stud earring in my left ear, but that was the 90s when that was a thing. Now I don't even wear a watch. I don't really concern myself with what other people wear. As long as they're someone I get along with, to each his own....it's all so irrelevant when you really think about it.
