  • What jewellery is okay for a bloke?

    Just reading emma82’s thread about wedding rings and how she mentioned that some chaps don’t like wearing a wedding ring as it is seen as jewellery.

    I wear a wedding ring on my left index finger and another ring on my right index finger that my wife gave me when we became engaged.

    I personally find anything more than that on a bloke a bit weird.

    I guess that some blokes wear a chain and cross for religious reasons, but each to their own, eh!

    a watch is not jewellery it’s a time piece.

    Have you not seen the watch threads here? I reckon it’s seen as jewellery by a lot of folk 🙂

    You can get a timepiece for £3. Pay more than that and it’s jewellery.

    Absolutely nothing in my case, wedding ring is to dangerous in my job & we’re not allowed to wear watches at work so I got out of the habit many years ago (no nun jokes please) & when the last one broke I just didn’t bother replacing it.

    Personally I wear nowt. I don’t posses a chain or a ring or a watch. No particular reason just can’t be bothered.

    Doesn’t bother me in the slightest what folks wear though.

    I’ve worn one of a number of rings on my right ring finger for maybe 20 years. Sometimes for sentimental reasons (ie, it’s a gift), sometime just because I like it. Recently I injured my finger somehow so I’ve stopped wearing one for a few months now, and it’s weird. I worry occasionally about wearing a wedding ring when I get wed, cos I’m left handed and it’d get trashed.

    I have my left ear pierced and stretched to 3mm, so can wear chunky rings and such without looking like an African tribeswoman.

    Usually I wear a watch. Sometimes I wear something round my neck or wrist, but these are usually more likely to be of the leather string variety rather than anything bling. I like wearing little affectations, but I tend towards the subtle.

    Watch and a wedding ring +1. Maybe a subtle piercing also…

    I don’t do jewelry. not cos of any reason. I just think it is silly and meaningless decoration and makes me feel like a fool. But my dad has a watch and a ring I will happily wear forever when he is dead.

    a watch isn’t jewellery. primarily it’s functional not ornamental.

    i guess some could be both.

    Nothing apart from a wedding ring, unless you are a Northerner in which case I believe a gold neck chain and earring are mandatory.

    I thought that was Southerners that wore lots of bling, if Only Fools and Horses taught me anything it’s that Southerners like their bling.

    Nah. I’m left-handed and mine’s fine. Titanium, of course. It’s kind of brushed and hammered so no need for it to be shiny, but 30 seconds with a bit of Brasso and it does comes up rather polished. Bonus is that as long as beer manufacturers keep making beer bottle lids out of metal softer than Ti then I’ll always have a bottle opener to hand. As it were.

    Correct answer is whatever he likes to wear for whatever reason.

    Personally that’s always white gold/jet wedding ring (pretty battered as I’m a leftie), silver ring on left index finger, watch, 2 neckchains and 4 rings in left ear. Supplemented now and then by silver rings on all other digits of left hand.

    I’ve got a nipple ring and eyebrow bar. I also wear a watch that is very definitely jewellry and would wear a wedding band too.

    I’ve got a simple silver wedding band type ring that I will very occasionally wear when out with Mrs Yunki..

    A watch, unless I’m sailing when it’s a watch and a waterproof car key on a rope around my neck.

    Cufflinks definitely, wedding ring maybe.

    Watches are for commoners.

    I wear my granddads wedding ring on my right hand. Before he died he asked if there was anything of his I wanted – I said his wedding ring and he left it to me with the condition that I had to wear it

    A watch, wedding ring, and piece of medicalert jewellery. I also have a small St Christopher on a gold chain that my then GF (now wife) bought me for my 21st.

    Had my wedding ring cut off this week as it had become too tight due to meds I’ve been on over the last couple of years – now negotiating with wife whether I go ringless, buy a new one*, or get old one repaired or melted and made into new ring.

    *She wants renewal of wedding vows if I go for a new ring, but not sure if I want the fuss & expense that I know she & her family will want with this – @rsed if I’m paying for another family party for her extended family like our first wedding reception became.

    Just a gold tooth and a Casio ‘Al Qaeda’ special for me.
    Used to wear an earring but can’t be fussed these days.

    I used to be a pawnbroker, so got a bit sick of the stuff.

    Belly Button piercing

    Belly button piercing on blokes is just plain wrong, get it out 🙄
