November belongs to men – what to give for Father’s Day or Men’s Day?

Writer Mark Twain has said the golden words: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” In fact, clothes are only part of our influence and image, or how we want to feel and present ourselves to others. In appearance, the whole consists of details, and therefore it includes accessories and jewellery. A unique and stylish piece of jewellery is a great gift for a man for any occasion!

Men’s jewellery…

… has been an integral part of manhood and masculinity for centuries. Thanks to archaeologists and historians, we know that men also wore jewellery. This is shown to us by frequent findings – men’s rings. Undoubtedly, men’s rings at that time were much more massive than women’s rings. In addition to the rings, men also wore brooches and tightly riveted leather belts.…

Vikings…

…brought to the picture more valuable silver jewellery. Silver was and still is an admirable metal that is good to process and that lasts a long time. Today, ceramic jewellery has risen alongside silver, which is not only durable but also allergy-free. Among the Vikings, it was popular to decorate jewellery with runes or protection signs, but there were also many symbols from mythology in the jewellery. Regardless of the cultural space, however, it is historically pervasive that jewellery has been (and still is!) part of a person’s or even a nation’s identity.

How to choose jewellery for a man?

November is dedicated to all men – we celebrate both Father’s Day (the second Sunday in November) and Men’s Day (November 19th). This is a great time to surprise your family’s dear men – your spouse, father, son, brother, friend, uncle. But what to give to a man? Our firm recommendation is a unique and masculine piece of jewellery. (Psst! Because the jewellery is given by someone close to him, it’s always more than just a piece of beauty!) But how to choose a suitable gift for a man?

One way is to look at a man’s archetypes. You may have heard that in every man there are four archetypes or energies – King, Warrior, Magician and Lover. At any time or period of life, a man is dominated by one of the four archetypes, which can be emphasized, among other things, through accessories.

The King is a man who loves power. He wants to be responsible and to rule, but always fairly and with dignity, be it his “kingdom”, his family, his company, etc. At the same time, he wants to get admiration and recognition from his loved ones. If this is not done, the king may become sad. The men’s bracelet Cody is a good gift for the King. Bracelet’s perfectly matched links symbolize the incessant harmony of the system that the King has created with his knowledge and skills.

The Magician is a creative, smart, and a little mystical man, who loves to analyze and always wants to look deeper and/or further. This makes him a good problem solver. Often the Magician is also a very eloquent man who loves attention and all kinds of sensual pleasures. We believe that the Magician can appreciate the eye-catching but erudite style of our men’s ring Singa.

The Warrior is a woman’s bodyguard: a strong, courageous, resilient pillar that sets and achieves all its goals. He needs to have challenges in life – the satisfaction that comes from them is much more important to him than the admiration or recognition of others. The impulsive Warrior often likes non-traditional and sometimes even sharp experiences. We know from history that warrior’s jewellery was always a little more massive and powerful – like this lion-energy men’s ring Lew.

And, of course, a passionate Lover, who receives all the energy needed for life from love. It is his only source of pleasure, everything else is insignificant. On the one hand, life with a man living in the archetype of the Lover is very warm, full of tenderness and care, but also conscious efforts are sometimes needed to keep the magic of love alive. Love is a lasting exchange of energy, as the connectors of this men’s bracelet Rocco are seamlessly connected.
