Gold Charm Bracelets |

There are so many reasons why men choose to wear jewellery: A charm for the lucky gambler; dressing for a date or a night out clubbing; to personalise a mundane business look or to set oneself apart while on the beach, but what’s for sure is that men’s jewellery is no longer confined to the Harley Davison crowd because men’s jewellery products are now much more sophisticated and contemporary.

Leading the way were men from the worlds of music, television, film and fashion, who in years past commissioned pieces from leading designers, but now with a wider range of men’s silver jewellery available from leading UK designers, the finest quality products are becoming accessible to non-celebrities.

Extroverts like UK comedian and actor Russell Brand may wear several pendants and bracelets on each arm, but you don’t need to ‘bling-it-up’ as much as Russell to look stylish and cool. Even a single pendant or bracelet can add loads of character to your look ad what you choose to wear will tell people much more about your personality than you would imagine, without ever saying a word.

Things have changed” says Stephen Webster. “The fear factor, the reverence and the rather staid formality have all but disappeared. Magazines now have fashion shoots featuring cheap H&M jeans worn with £5000 diamond rings. Having a diamond-studded accent to a watch or a piece of jewellery no longer marks a customer as a flashy, ostentatious type. It just makes a person look more…lively.” So wearing the right piece and the right brand of jewellery is so important. Unlike clothes where a good quality pair of distressed jeans looks good no matter the brand or cost, the quality of jewellery materials and the manufacturing process makes all the more difference to the end look.

Mens jewellery is much more about your personal preferences and a statement of self than some other fashion items and your options are plentiful. For example, men’s jewellery transgresses musical styles, where R&B star Jay-Z wears Stephen Webster belt buckles and dog tags while Heavy Metal acts like Ozzy Osbourne wear rings and pendants from the very same designer. Try getting them to wear the same brand of t-shirt!

Top end men’s jewellery designers such as Stephen Webster, Shaun Leane and Vivienne Westwood are in the premier league, but together with a supporting number global designer brands, such as Links of London and Hugo Boss who have recently launched mens jewellery collections, the supply of men’s jewellery to the market is extensive. In addition, sales in the online market space for mens jewelry is also growing despite the global economic downturn facing everyone. In the UK Thorn Jewellery are leading the top end online jewellery proposition..

Bolstered in 2008 by publicity from the inaugural London jewellery week, the UK market is leading the way and is set to continue to grow from strength to strength into 2009 and there’s every reason to believe that superior design quality and craftsmanship will win over cheaper imported items seen on the high street.

Beads hold ancient roots, and their cultural significance can be traced to their early use in bartering. Beads served as a primitive currency, and they still retain their value today. In modern times they are found in the form of decoration as jewelry, rather than money.

In earlier times, beads were made from a variety of materials from fishbone right through to teeth and as cultures become more sophisticated, so did the materials that beads were made from.

In ancient days, people fashioned beads from a variety of materials. Early materials ranged from fish bones to teeth. As cultures grew increasingly sophisticated, so did the beads, techniques and materials with which they were created.

Today, beads are mostly used in jewelry making, textile embellishment and in the fashion industry. To yield a more “designer look,” crafters often choose glass lamp-work beads over plastic buttons in garments. Costume jewelers and makers of “fine jewelry” utilize a diversity of beads, which vary in intricacy of design. This adds a look of quality and uniqueness to their work.

Fine jewelry houses predominantly use precious and semi-precious gemstone beads; the costume jewelry industry more often uses beads made of plastic, acrylic, wood and glass. Skilled artists can use the inherent versatility and wide range of designs, manipulating beads in many ways to create their pieces. Endless stringing combinations, and a plethora of cuts and finishes ensures that beaded jewelry needs never look dull, boring or dated.

Recently, the home crafts market has seen an explosion in the use and sale of beads. For example, they used to serve exclusively as small, detailed embellishments for needle work projects. The last decade, however, has seen a surge of interest in beads. Accordingly, craft project hobbies (a.k.a. making classic jewelry, beaded candle holders, curtains, and wind charms) have also enjoyed increased popularity.

In fashion, there has been a resurgence of the “hippie Bohemian” look; people have consequently returned to using beads in the art of jewelry making. Beads have come to signify uniqueness in style and individual expression. They provide a new, modern look in fashion. In the 1970s, the public saw home made jewelry as a symbol of the “hippie” culture. Long strands of love beads were as interesting as things got. As the internet blazed into the forefront of popular culture in society, the jewelry making market saw direct impact. Now crafters may easily communicate with each other, sharing techniques and setting trends.

Ultimately, the bead charm bracelet is an example of how a classic, Bohemian theme can be applied to create a contemporary look. The charm bracelet made its first appearance in jewelry during the 1950s. It has remained popular ever since, but has been largely limited to classic jewelry lines in the form of precious metals.

The 1970s, for instance, witnessed a resurgence in popularity of Bohemian culture in fashion. It empowered home jewelry makers to use their love of beads to update the classic” look. Suddenly, charm bracelets with colorful glass beads were everywhere. One could see them on catwalks in high fashion, as well as on the streets. The home crafter could select from a large variety of beads to create his or her own style and unique fashion statement.

Styles come and go, but beads will always be in vogue. Whether you prefer an elegant, long string of pearls or a plastic stretchy bead bracelet, the bead is here to stay.
