The hunter gatherer has gradually become influenced by the media and is becoming a more fashion conscious hunter gatherer. The modern man now sometimes reads fashion magazines as apparently just beating his chest and expecting the women to come running no longer works. Influenced by sportsmen, actors and popstars many men are now wearing mens silver jewellery. It doesn't stop at just mens silver rings, but encompasses mens silver bracelets and mens silver necklaces.

Not only are they wearing men's silver jewellery but the look is often strong, statement jewellery sometimes with tribal designs. However if you think of the origins of jewellery which can be traced back to Ancient Egypt even then it was worn to symbolise power in the community. The wealthy Egyptians wore jewellery in life and then they also wore it in death, with their jewellery being placed amongst their other grave goods.

When Napolean Bonaparte was Emperor of France back in 1804 he revived the grandeur of jewellery in France. Also in Viking society precious metals were a symbol of power and wealth. Vikings would wear beautiful jewellery with silver being the more common metal. The silver jewellery in this instance was more likely to be silver arm-rings and neck-rings. This show of wealth was extremely important to them comparable today to a flash car or a Rolex watch!

The Celts treasured jewellery for both beauty and symbolism, with both women and men wearing both silver jewellery and gold. Celtic jewellery has survived to the modern day because of its beauty, although predominantly in silver although there is gold available. Probably one of the best known examples of Celtic jewellery is the Claddagh ring. There is quite a story behind this ring which was created by a man named Richard Joyce who came from the village of Claddagh, near Galway in Ireland.

Richard Joyce was captured and taken from his homeland, held as a slave in the West Indies then sold to a Moorish goldsmith where he learnt to make jewellery. He eventually became free, returned to Ireland and made the Claddagh to celebrate his return home, his love of his country and his people. In the middle of the Claddagh ring is a heart to symbolise love, this is held in two hands symbolising friendship, with a crown on top to symbolise loyalty. Today it is popularly worn as a sign of fidelity or friendship, some choose it as a wedding ring. The correct way to wear this silver ring is with the heart inwards if you are in a relationship or outwards if you are open to a relationship.

These are some of the roots that lie historically behind some of the mens silver jewellery we see today. Mens silver rings can be found as Celtic bands designed with Celtic knots. These knots are considered as the endless knot or mystic knot to remind us of the timeless nature of our spirit. A similar mens silver ring, although not Celtic is the Tribal Band Mens Silver Ring which also has a loose knot design and is stunning as well. Mens silver necklaces include silver ball chains which are very fashionable, mens silver link chains and some heavyweight serious attitude mens silver necklaces. There are some beautiful designs available in mens silver jewellery and it is cool and trendy to wear.
