Pearls on guys?

[000Ed]

2 of my friends asked if I have any pearls I said no. they said I should get some and they had seen some guys wearing them. I have never before but sparked the idea. I found these cheap white studs (not pearls) wore last week never posted. maybe they are on to something? maybe its worth getting some?

Traditionally, pearls were actually a very masculine item! Only around the 19th or 20th century (I believe) did pearls eventually catch on with the ladies. The more famous examples were wealthy Romans, the 16th century Indian Mughal empire’s emperors, and Chinese royals in 2300 BC.

Also, shiny things are for everyone. We are all magpies, at heart.

For an everyday wear I personally prefer freshwater pearls. They’re a heck of a lot more affordable, and have a softer lustre than salties, but that’s 100% a personal choice. Both are lovely.

+1 for Tahitian pearls on men! American sprinter/Olympian Noah Lyles also wears pearls, around his neck and in his hair. And I recently had a strand of pearls strung by a local jeweler and they told me they sell a lot of pearls to the football players at the nearby high school, LOL. Mikimoto has some great inspo of men wearing pearls in their ads (though they are a very, very pricey brand).

I love a pearl on a man, but it must be simple, not Mr T blingy. So a single pearl on leather or similar is perfect. It should look like he has been hunting on the savannah and just saw the pearl and picked it up (yes, I do know), not that he has preened.
