Beckham takes a Lead in Mens Jewellery


Copyright 2006 Tatstar
When it comes to style and skill, one of the world's class
footballers David Beckham is probably the envy of most men.

No
other man has put mens' jewellery firmly on the style map
like Beckham has. Let's face it most men wouldn't turn a blind eye
if Beckham was all style and no skill on the pitch. But Beckham is
blessed with style, substance and most importantly he ranks high
because of his skill with the ball on the pitch.
You've probably seen all the pictures.

First, there were the
winning haircuts; floppy blonde, shaved head and the mohican. Then
the tabloids captured him appearing at a nightclub in a sarong to
reveal both body and the legs.
But it was when Beckham started wearing expensive diamond
watches, jewellery and diamond earrings? Not just one diamond stud
piercing an earlobe but two diamond earrings. It's a head-turning
remarkable style triumph by Beckham who effortlessly gave men
permission to wear mens' jewellery.

Had another man tried to pull
off wearing earrings he may have not been as successful.
At the Beckhams' pre-World Cup party, again mens jewellery was
on dazzling display. England's full-back Ashley Cole arrived in his
version of "Full length and Fabulous". Naked from the waist up,
Ashley Cole's dinner jacket was replaced with mens' jewellery.


And an exquisite diamond encrusted watch was the costliest item
at the Beckhams' charity auction created by Jacob Arabo, the
sparklingly talented young jewellery designer whose name has fast
become well-known in celebrity circles.
Arabo's exquisite mens' jewellery is much-loved by his clients
not simply for being expensive but for transcending the classic
designs. He takes credit for changing male attitudes to wearing
jewellery. Pop stars and celebrities alike wear some of his
creations like diamond-covered dice or mobile phones to stand out
in photo shoots and pop videos.


Men's jewellery has been reported to have risen by twenty
percent. And the demand for diamonds has risen too, not surprising
given the number of celebrities keen to flash a bit of bling for
the cameras.
So there you have it. It's official.

Jewellery is not just for
women anymore. For the trend conscious, urban, metrosexual man,
wearing a piece of mens' jewellery is the ultimate to looking cool.
You only have to look at the growing array of mens' jewellery;
bracelets, earrings, chains and pendants being paraded in this
year's catwalks. Men may even have their very
own jewellery boxes soon to keep
their prized pieces.


Gone are the days of the medallion man: all gold chains embedded
in chest hair, a sore sight for any woman's eyes. Numbered are the
days when a young man will expose matted chest hair, allow his
toned
stomach to turn into a paunch,
sprout nose hair and leave his nails uncut. Slowly yet surely
grooming and mens' jewellery are causing ripples in the male
universe.
So whether it's platinum or a combination of metals, diamond
encrusted rings earrings or trinkets, jewellery designers are
getting in on the act.

Manufacturers in fine jewellery are
expanding their lines for men's jewellery too. So it looks as if
the trend for mens' jewellery is set to stay - diamonds or no
diamonds.
