All man jewelry should be simple in design and of excellent quality. Never reject things because they are not the latest fashion. For men, an ancient signet or a pin with a big diamond are status symbols. The excellent jeweler’s art raise all possible objections.
A signet produces a better effect on a long-fingered man’s hand than on a plump and short-fingered one. In case it’s an ancient gold signet with an official seal or a monogram you can wear it on a little finger of either hand. Choosing the left one you “soothe the pain” of a too strong hand-shake. A signet on a forefinger or a middle finger looks melodramatic and stagy.
The watches and cigar-cases can only be gold or silver, steel or platinum, enamel is also ok.
The cigar-case should not be decorated with precious or semi-precious stones.
The wrist-watches match an evening suit unless they have a leather wristlet. In such situations men are supposed to wear flat gold or platinum watch on a thin gold or platinum chain.
An Ascot-tie (a wide square-ended tie worn in a knot) is decorated with a moonstone or amethyst pin or other light stone. A pin isn’t worn with usual ties. The Ascot-tie can compliment only cut-away suits (appropriate for important or very festive day-time events).
The pearly collar-studs are a must for a shirt in a cut-away suit. The cuffs are linked with gold cuff-links-chains which can be decorated with precious stones.
