00:00 Jewelry Introduction
We'll provide you an overview of various jewelry styles with a brief discussion of their functions, as well as jewelry intended solely for decorative purposes.

01:22 History (Ancient to PreModern)
Throughout the history of menswear, jewelry has always had a presence. Let's see how different types of jewelry have evolved.

4:02 Modern History

06:49 Most Common Types
We divide the most common types of jewelry worn by men at present into 2 categories: functional and ornamental.

07:10 1. Functional Items
We go through jewelry pieces that fulfill a task of some kind besides their aesthetic appeal.

07:20 1a. Cufflinks
Cufflinks are probably the most common form of men’s jewelry in the classic style. They are commonly grouped by their closure method:
08:27 Chain
08:41 TBar
09:01 Fixed DoubleSided

09:25 1b. Tie Retainers
Next, we'll look at jewelry that secures your tie in place. They also have different varieties:
09:51 Tie Tack
10:18 Stick Pin
10:34 Tie Bar
10:43 Tie Clip

11:43 1c. Collar Retainers
Collar retainers were originally intended to give soft collars a neater appearance and more regular shape. They have 3 common types:
12:06 Collar Pin
13:00 Collar Bar
13:16 Collar Clip

14:09 1d. Shirt Studs
Commonly worn with formal ensembles, let's see how these removable buttons vary.

15:32 1e. Belt Buckles
At one point, an individual belt buckle was an essential clothing component.

16:35 1f. Chains and Fobs
These implements were usually anchored to the belt, waistband, trouser pocket, or waistcoat pocket and fulfilled a variety of roles.

17:45 2. Ornamental Jewelry
This time, we discuss jewelry that doesn’t have a direct practical function but represents a more individualized style choice.

17:58 2a. Rings
From wedding rings to class rings, rings are one of the most common jewelry items.

19:34 2b. Lapel Pins
A tasteful lapel pin can also be a good alternative to boutonnieres. They give a unique visual interest and offer a chance to showcase your personality.

21:20 2c. Necklaces
While men have been wearing necklaces and chains throughout the 20th century, these articles were traditionally worn next to the skin and covered by one’s shirt.

22:28 2d. Bracelets
Bracelets are less common but are now enjoying something of a revival.

23:14 2e. Anklets
Closely related to the bracelet, anklets would follow most of the same guidelines.

23:51 2f. Earrings
Earrings are even rarer than bracelets in classic men's jewelry. In the past few decades, however, more and more men are choosing to wear earrings.
