My husband wears:

- Wedding ring
- Engagement ring (narrow gold band with channel set diamonds)
- Class ring
- Watch

I think that's perfect.

KappaStarboy wears a silver and 18k bracelet that I got him from Tiffany's. I took him shopping for his graduation present and that's what he picked out. It's really classy, only about half an inch wide, and he never takes it off. He also never takes off the silver and 18k (yes, Tiffany, I'm a freak) cross I got him at Christmas to replace the one he bought in Italy and lost when we moved from Pennsylvania.

I always wear one of my nice watches, currently it is a Kenneth Cole one my parents got me for my birthday. I used to wear my HS class ring until I graduated. Other than that I don't wear jewelry. I did get a simple silver square chain neckless with my fraternities founders symbol in Mexico. I wore it the while time I was there, but I don't think I will wear it unless its a Phi Psi event.

a nice simple touch is a sterling silver signet ring with your fraternity symbol on it. I got one from my parents for my birthday last year. it has the outline of the cross & crescent on it. also, i have a pewter ring with stars and crescents on it that i got from my girlfriend for my birthday, 18th i think. my watch is a plain analog/digital watch with a metal band. it's nice looking, but not so nice i can't wear it with a t-shirt and jeans.

Mr. XO_Princess wears his class ring, a watch, and a plain silver band on his left hand that I gave him. I think anything else is kind of icky.
Funny story though-when we first started dating, he used to wear a gold necklace that I absolutely hated! I don't like gold, nor do I like guys wearing gold necklaces(the whole pimp thing). Anyhoo, we hadn't been dating that long, and I didn't feel comfortable saying anything-I didn't know how I would bring up that I hated his necklace-and I was trying and trying to think up a way to tactfully say something, when I was saved by a clerk at the convinience store. We went in to buy beer, and while we were paying, she looks at him and say something along the lines of, I didn't know white people wore gold chains anymore. HA HA! I tried hard not to laugh, he wound up never wearing it again, and I secretly thank that lady to this day.

Don't mind men's jewelry as long as it's tasteful. That means no big chains and 5 piercings in the ears is too much! My bf wears his fraternity ring, a nice watch, and a gold bracelet. I think it looks perfect.

Plain gold wedding band and a watch. That's all. Anything else is either tacky, prissy, or both.

Periwinkle · #24 04-13-2002, 02:42 PM

I agree, juniorgirl. Especially the ones who wear a pinky ring...ewwww.

I think diamonds on a guy is wierd.

I wear an all silver TAG. My fraternity ring in silver, and occasionally a James Avery silver link bracelet.

All I've got is my watch - used to have two earrings in my left ear, but one day decided that I didn't want them anymore. Turns out I look better without them anyways.

Thought I'd bring this up. I want to purchase a watch for my son.
I'm late as usual as this is kind of a graduation present. (I'm giving him cash for his trip which is what he needs right now.)
Soooo, the watch can be late.

I don't want to purchase an investment watch per say, but would like something that won't hit the skids like Fossil after the fad wears off. At least it has around here. He did say he has seen some Kenneth Cole watches, but I wonder if they are worth the money in the long run. I have planned to spend up to $350.00 give or take. Some of the jewelers say there's a void between the 300 to 600 range. Is this true?

Any advice?

I don't know...I've had a Fossil for four years, and it still looks very good - I've worn it to job interviews, formal events, etc., and the thing has lasted and still looks classy. It's not an upscale watch, but it's worked out very well for me.

I've heard good things about Kenneth Cole too though...there were a couple of watches I was thinking of getting that were a bit nicer, but the names escape me at the moment...

My husband only wears his wedding ring and his engineering ring. That's it. He never even wore jewelry until we got married.

JAM: Check out Seiko Kinetic or Waltham watches for classic styles that are professional and can be worn for years.

As for jewelry, Mr. AOIISilver wears his wedding band, a watch, a medium thickness gold chain with a round crest of our school, and a pinky ring. I absolutely adore the necklace when her wears black. His pinky ring is a small band that is very meaningful. It is a ring for the Order of Engineer and is designed to be worn on the pinky of the working hand. It is a promise to be ethical in all that he does.
