Men In Pearls

[+ glutes]

Recently I've noticed some of my Colombian contacts (nod-nod wink-wink) wear strands of pearls. Now tonight I see a Houston Astro player wearing a nice strand.

Is this a new trend?

According to the article you posted, yes.

This is REALLY nothing new.  Take a quick gander at portraits of men done during the 16th, 17th, 18th, and the better part of the 19th centuries if you really want to see men weighed down with jewelry.  It was only during the late Victorian Era that men ceased wearing colorful clothing with tons of bling.

I think it looks good on younger guys, but not at my age. The only jewelry I wear is a nice watch. I also have sterling monogrammed belt buckles, if that counts.

Given the pearl-clutching we see about tattoos, facial hair, piercing, texting, "over-used" words, the evolution of language, and [fill in the blank with more] it would seem everyone is wearing a strand or twelve.

Personally, I like it. Not sure I'd wear them, but that's because I don't like anything around my neck.

I am waiting for our first provider to be pictured wearing a strand.

The only think I like around my neck is a thick, black leather collar!

Please just say no, bling chains are one thing but delicate pearls???

My point exactly Dr. Frued.

Wikipedia: A "pearl necklace" is slang for a sexual act in which a man ejaculates semen on or near the neck, chest, or breast of another person.^[1] The term originates from the way the deposited semen resembles a necklace of translucent white pearls.^[2][3]

Outlandish jewelry on hot young men? Love it. 

i’m invoking the Formino.

As much as I love pearls, I think men who wear them look like idiots.  "Look at me!  See me bending gender norms!  Ooh, I'm so edgy!"

F*cking spare me.

Seems more appropriate for men who are wanting to distract attention away from wrinkles.  The more strands, the more wrinkles that need hiding, maybe.

So?

It is new and surprising in the 20th and 21 centuries

Isn't this really just an upscale version of pukka shell necklaces from a number of years back? I like that this will give me something to clutch in times of stress and anxiety.

Hot guys with pearls (especially if they have nice pecs and/or have a very good looking face) are extremely hot, especially if you are the person who bought them the pearl necklace.

Another male jewelry trend that is very hot is the 2 necklace combo - the shorter chain serving as almost a choker with the longer necklace to match and accentuate their chest. It's very sexy for some reason, at least in my opinion:

When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, ‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.’ But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me.
