Going back in time, men adorned lavish gold jewelry to display wealth and power.  The turbans were considered the ultimate symbol of status and influence. But, as time progressed, the perception of masculinity changed, and men distanced themselves from these jewels and adorned essential accessories. But with the coming up of fashion designers and houses, men wish to embrace bold styles and express their unique personalities through this jewelry. The emergence of hip-hop ornaments and bling culture allows men to break free from stereotypes and explore some unconventional jewelry choices. In the field of fashion, the old notions are challenged, and men have experienced a revolution when it comes to men’s jewelry

The influencer culture has also played a big part in bringing an evolution in men’s jewelry. As they say, ‘Why should girls have all the fun’, holds true when it comes to experimenting with men’s trendy jewelry. Let’s explore some smart choices that have contributed to the rise of men’s interest in fashion and men’s ethnic jewelry. 

Evolution from Gold Chains And Necklaces

Earlier it was only Bappi Lahiri who loved wearing gold chains but with the rise in the hip-hop culture across the country. Men started investing in heavy gold and silver chains. Just like the famous rapper Badshah or cricketer Hardik Pandya, men wear chunky chains and express their bold taste in jewelry. Other than these gold chains, in a parallel world exist men who like to embrace the rich and royal side of Indian culture. They adorn themselves with strings of emeralds, kundan, pearls, and diamonds in the form of malas during weddings or traditional events.
