So, tip back your fedora, light up a stogie, and grab a scotch while we take a look at a few masculine accessories of yesteryear and the men who rocked them!
The 1950s “Rat Pack” of the above-pictured Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. were well known for enjoying the finer things in life. They attended the hottest clubs, drank the best booze, and wore the finest clothes money could buy. They were also men who appreciated a truly nice piece of jewelry.
Sammy was especially fond of rings. One anecdote recalls the time that Elvis removed his own 52 carat black star sapphire ring during a Vegas show, and gifted it to his dear friend, Sammy Davis, Jr – who could often be found in attendance, standing on his seat applauding wildly.
Other stars of the era, like Clark Gable, preferred more subdued jewelry, like the simple pinky ring worn in the picture below.
Here are a few examples of some SuperJeweler men’s rings with all the glamour of Hollywood’s hay days – without the million dollar price tag!
A mid-century trend that’s been making a comeback are men’s bracelets. Unlike the more ornate and delicate bracelets that women prefer, men’s styles tend toward heavier, more industrial styles.
I don’t think the bracelets below, worn by Paul Newman, Elvis Presley, and Marlon Brando could ever be mistaken for feminine!
SJ has a fabulous selection of men’s bracelets with a wide range of designs and styles.
The men of the pre-tech era also tended toward functionality. Ladies may opt to be fashionably late…but a gentleman is always on time!
Despite having the time at our fingertips on our cells, laptops, and notebooks – there’s still something about a watch that says this man means business. Need evidence? Take a look at Sean Connery, Johnny Cash, and Michael Caine below. There’s no doubt that these men knew what time it was!
