gold rush
in 2019 is really no novelty in itself, as jewelry has been flaunted by entertainers and musicians alike for decades. Hip-hop’s embrace of gold chains and flashy diamonds has persisted as a leading example since the ’80s, but as of late, gender-neutral dressing has pushed men’s accessory and jewelry collections into even greater prevalence for the everyday guy.
It’s become the norm for men far and wide to adorn themselves in a wide array of jewelry styles. For the bold, it’s about wearing it all at once — several chains, a full fist of rings and icy wrists that are impossible to ignore. But for the modest, sometimes all it takes is a piece here or there (and perhaps, a cool pair of shades) to do the trick.
Either way, labels big and small have answered the call with unique and expansive assortments. Whether the intricate 18K gold “Mask” pendant by the New York-based label KHIRY or the opulent Arceau L'heure De La Lune watch by Hermès, the fall collections offer plenty of ways to polish off a look.
