Generally jewellery was put on for aesthetical reasons, yet men's jewellery also served other purposes, such as identifying their heirarchical position in society, their social stature in addition to their matrimonial status. Nowadays some of the popular accessories available for men in the jewellery category include bracelets, chains, money clips, rings, watches, cufflinks and earrings.
