Who says that jewelry trends are just for the fashion savvywomen? Many men have a keen interest in fashion trends and jewelryspecifically, and this season's looks are sure to entice even the most fashion-cynicalmale. As we move out of a cold winter, men's trends are staying on a neutralcolor scheme, with clothing trending more toward shades of grey. Read on tofind out what jewelry works with this hot spring look.


One hot jewelry trend for men is I.D. bracelets. Nothingthat resembles something you would see on a hospital patient or on a luggage tag-these bracelets arechic and stylish. Men can get their real name and information engraved on thesebeauties (available in silver, gold and white gold), or perhaps a favoritequote or song lyric. The possibilities are endless, and you will be seeingthese on runways everywhere.


For a while there, it was more fashionable for men to bewearing more understated pieces of jewelry, such as a simple thin necklace withno pendent. This year, spring has men's necklaces blooming in a big way.Although men's jewelry may never reach the epic, sometimes outlandish naturethat women's necklaces can reach, the trend this spring is for larger, morecolorful pendants for men.


Designers have kept things tasteful and masculine, withsimple chains featuring pendants like round, bold colored disks made from asolid gemstone or wood. Large crosses are also being spotted, some in thetraditional simple Christian design while others are trending toward moreornate Celtic crosses.

Earrings are also popular this spring, but the GeorgeMichael one earring was left behind in the 80's. A few years ago, it was commonto see men wearing a simple stud earring in both ears. This trend hasn'tnecessarily faded away, as many men still sport this style, but what is hotthis spring is two studs in one ear.


Many women have multiple piercings in one ear, and now thetrend is for men to have dual studs while leaving the other ear bare. The studsare being seen in very simple designs like small diamonds and even pearls. Onemodel was even spotted wearing turquoise, which would be a lovely and boldcompliment to the grey clothing trend that is being seen.


For men who enjoy wearing rings, large chunky rings are veryhot this spring. These rings look terrific stacked on top of one another, or asa standout piece when worn alone. They usually come in gold or silver, and havethick bands up to inch thick. Look for designs like skull and crossbones,barcodes and Celtic spirals. Wear them on your thumb for a unique look.


Body piercings are also making a comeback, specificallyfacial piercings. While body piercing was once thought of as very taboo, manymodels this season have been seen with very simple and even elegant facialpiercings. Small diamond nose rings are very en vogue right now, as are smallsilver lip rings. While the trend of having a small chin stud is fading, youcan still make a bold statement with the nose or lip ring.


If you are considering making the leap for this trend, makesure your employer has a policy that allows facial piercings, as no one shouldlose their job over fashion. If you run into someone on the street who'spiercing you like, make sure and ask where they got their work done. Facial andany piercing can go awry if not done at a reputable shop, so make sure you doyour research before you go under the needle.
