On which hand do men wear the bracelet and how is it regulated?
Men's jewelry is designed to emphasize the status and attractiveness of a representative of the strong half of humanity. Such a role can be played, for example, by a bracelet. In order for this accessory to favorably emphasize the physical dignity of its owner, and also to look appropriate in a certain setting, you should adhere to the rules for wearing a bracelet.
What determines which hand to wear?
Today's fashion is very democratic. So there are no clear requirements for which hand to wear men's bracelets on. Rather, it is a matter of convenience, although for many other principles also matter:
- etiquette requirements;
- product design features;
- everyday views and superstitions of the owner.
Austere bracelets, for example, are good for business negotiations. At the same time, in order to emphasize his sexuality, it is advisable for a man to wear delicate jewelry. The contrast with the muscular arm emphasizes the strength and physical attractiveness of the person.
Some rely on the requirements of Feng Shui to choose such things. He instructs the man to wear the accessory on his left hand. Thanks to this, it is easier for a person to attract happiness, love, and at the same time money into his life. If there is a bead on the jewelry, it is recommended to wear the bracelet so that this element is at the pulse level.
It is believed that thanks to this way of wearing a beautiful thing, a person attracts good luck. In addition, you need to take into account the material from which the bracelet is made.
Basic wearing principles
Bracelets made of a wide variety of materials are suitable for men:
- gold;
- made of silver;
- steel;
- made of stone;
- bone;
- leather;
- made of wood;
- from beads.
Some of the most popular are silver bracelets. They are good for both young guys and respectable men. In addition, a person with such decoration feels comfortable in the office with business partners, and on a romantic date in a restaurant, and at a meeting with friends in an informal setting. This decoration does not conflict with either a business suit, or jeans and a shirt, as it looks rather strict, which allows you to emphasize masculinity. Successful men, for example, those employed in business, can choose a massive bracelet in a classic style, thereby emphasizing their status. For young men, fine jewelry with fancy weaving is more suitable.
According to the rules of etiquette, such an ornament is worn on one hand - the right. Although if a man is married and "ringed", then he must wear a silver bracelet on his left hand. Alternatively, opt for a wrist piece made of two metals: silver and gold.
Successful men just often choose jewelry made of gold, thereby emphasizing their material security and good taste. Although, according to etiquette, there are much more requirements for things made of this metal than for silver ones. So, you cannot wear a gold bracelet to the office. It will be appropriate for an evening event or a business meeting "no ties". At the same time, it is correct to wear this decoration, if the bracelet wearer's dress style is strict. (Certainly not beach shorts or tracksuit.) It is supposed to wear a status item on the right hand.
Steel bracelets are gaining popularity among men from year to year, both among young and more respectable in age. These pieces perfectly highlight the best masculine qualities, such as willpower or masculinity.
The jewelry can be worn on both the left and right hand. More profitable on the one that is more involved in the work. Thanks to this, attention to the beauty of men's hands is increased.
A special category of jewelry - magnetic bracelets. They are most often made from copper. Their purpose is to activate metabolic processes in the body, relieve headaches, lower blood pressure and improve joint function. In addition, such items have antibacterial effect. These things are not subject to etiquette requirements. They are put on the hand where there are most active points, the impact on which allows you to solve specific problems with well-being.
Bracelets are popular with the stronger sex leather. They are practical and comfortable to wear. For a business setting (complete with a business suit), thin products of the original weaving from several straps are often chosen, which are not too conspicuous. If a man wears a T-shirt and jeans, a wider leather bracelet looks good on his arm. Basically, this is an attribute of active representatives of the strong half of humanity, who go in for sports, travel, and so on. The advantage of leather jewelry is that it can be worn both on the left and on the right hand - as you like.
For informals, the most important thing is bracelets in ethnic style. These are the very decorations that are created from wood, bones, stones. They often have an "uncivilized" and aggressive appearance, emphasizing the brutality of their owner, the ancient hunting side of a man's nature. Such things are suitable for independent, romantic and uninhibited natures. They are worn on any hand and in combination with free style clothing.
Popular among men bracelets called "Shambhala", which were invented by Tibetan monks and were originally 9-knot laces. (It was this number, as it was believed in the country of Shambhala, that protected the owner of the thing from evil forces). Used the decoration as a rosary.
Later, the bracelet found its use among shamans and healers, who began to string beads from various stones on cords. Thanks to this, the product "Shambhala" not only turned into a magical protector, but also acquired healing properties. There is a whole system of using various bead stones that attract into a person's life what he lacks: from health to talent and wisdom. A man needs to wear such an adornment on his right wrist. Wherein you should not wear more than three of these things at the same time.
Among the representatives of the stronger sex, the so-called friendship bracelets. Otherwise they are called baubles. It is believed that these are amulets from all kinds of troubles. So guys, not alien to symbolism and even mysticism, wear them without taking off. Put on the left hand.
Rules for combining a bracelet with a watch
Wrist watches no longer carry the same important function as before - to find out how long it is, sometimes easier by looking at the corresponding numbers in the phone or some other gadget. But watches are still part of a stylish man's image, acting as a practical piece of jewelry in and of themselves. Therefore, questions often arise how to combine a bracelet and a watch so that it looks appropriate. A wrist chronometer is traditionally worn on the left wrist, although this is nothing more than a convention associated with the belief that most people are right-handed. Therefore, such a subject should "take up space on the less active" left hand. In fact, left-handers do the same - put on the watch on the right wrist.
Depending on this, the issue of wearing a bracelet is also resolved. If the jewelry is thin, it can be safely placed on the same wrist as the watch. If the width of the bracelet is comparable to the width of the watch strap, it should be used to decorate the free hand.
Regardless of whether the bracelet is worn “complete with a watch” or adorns the wrist “without a neighbor”, one should keep in mind the image of the man as a whole, so as not to spoil the overall impression. A sense of proportion is the key to perfection.
