Can Men Wear Pearls?

Idiotic looking ones, sure!

How's the new sock puppet account, OP?

Looking like what, OP. A faeg? Just say it.

You go ahead, OP, and get back to us on that, ok?

No!!!!

Yeah, many celebrity men and guys on TikTok are doing it. It’s all the rage right now.

Can you, yes. Should you, no. It's just begging for attention like any Ticktok or Instagram or self-promotion bullshit. Find your happiness from within.

No. Don't be a douche.

It's like rubies, they are girly. Show me a nice pearl man's ring.

Hi Boris OP

Ask your pal Milo OP

Are you hot and young? .. lol Small pearls don't look that different from puka shells (which were supposedly becoming popular again?). Guys can also layer pearl necklaces with other necklaces, or pearls are just part of the necklace. Freshwater and black pearl designs might be more "masculine."

No

But, go right ahead OP. Knock yourself out. I LIKE guys that look really gay

In the old West, outlaws who fancied all black ensembles very often topped off the look with a string of pearls about their neck. It is where the expression “pearls go best with basic black” originated.

After a while it does get crusty and flakes off in spots.

Not everything is fluid. Some things are not fluid. Sheesh.

REAL men wear pink...er, pearls...er, BOTH!

I'd love it if some hot guy gave me a "pearl necklace."

If we didn't wear them, what would we clutch?

Charles I wore a pearl earring in his left ear from the age of fifteen. He even wore an especially exquisite pearl earring to his execution. Sir Walter Raleigh wore pearl earrings in BOTH ears. However (as the article states), these men didn't represent the majority.

How about black pearls?

I can’t believe it took until R18 for the obvious response here. Gay men have been wearing them for years. I had a hot FB who asked me to give him one every time he came ovet.

Ya call?

Rupert Friend looked pretty good in pearls in Cheri.

Maharajahs in pearls

A famous Australian swimmer used to love the odd string of pearls back in the 00's

They go well with a wooly Frau suit like the ones the Church Lady wore. I don't have a pic to show you what I mean.

Queen Mary had a famous 11-strand pearl choker that her grandson's wife the Duchess of Gloucester sometimes still wears.

The market price for pears has plummeted over the last 5 years. They are relatively cheap now. My boss bought his wife a 180,000 dollar string of very large pearls about 15 years ago. Long story short, when they got divorced and tried to sell them, Sotheby's said don't bother selling them. They would only offer about 40,000 for them because of some flood of pears in the market and some kind of monopoly was broken up, china flooding the market with them.

You should never, ever, ever buy jewels for investment purposes, unless they have a famous history (such as they were worn by a famous person). Otherwise they will lose value.

Why not?

I hate when people do this but this is just dumb:

Does Harry & David know?!?!

“How about black pearls?”

Oh snaps!

Yes. A nice wool bouclé, R27.

I don't own any, but I've always preferred the look of Baroque pearls. I'd love to have a silver ring set with a huge Baroque pearl.

OP = Joe Gillis

Nothing wrong with men wearing pearls.

Op, pearls on guys are in, it’s a trend for zoomers I’ve seen so many with pearls on their neck and dangly earrings. Google image “men pearls” to see for yourself.

Some look good…

While others dont

Marc Jacobs

Only if it’s a tie tack that’s a gift from the Queen of Spain.

When you look like the guys at r12 & R23 you can wear whatever the fuck you want.

I've got a strand of black pearls that I inherited from a rich aunt (she hoped I'd give them to my future wife, poor dear was blind) that I wear from time to time. I wore them as part of my uniform when I was Club Kid adjacent in the 90s.

[quote]The market price for pears has plummeted over the last 5 years. They are relatively cheap now.

Only for fake pearls, you know the cultured kind. Real pearls found in the wild are obscenely rare and expensive.

Wearing pearls is obscene

Only if they are Mikimoto, darling.

Call me sexist, but there's simply some things women do that men should never do, and vice versa.

Wear what you fucking want to wear. The whole idea that something is too feminine or masculine is such contrived bullshit. If I wasn't old and had a bad ankle, I would wear heels in a heartbeat. They do wonders for the ass and legs.

LOOK AT ME!!!

R9– Plenty of nice Tahitian pearl men’s rings. My father had one. It was gorgeous. It was a dark blue color, in a chunky setting

Like a lot of these "gender bending" fashion trends, it only looks good in photos on young, hot, slim, tall men. In real life you're more likely to see them on pale, pudgy, young men working in low-paying service jobs who can't afford to live in the city they've just moved to.

Damiano David of the band Måneskin looks good with pearls.

They look good on cufflinks

r54

OK, now that is something I hadn't thought of.

Does a pearl-handled revolver count?

I remember one summer in Rehoboth about 30 years ago all the DC hot young hunks were wearing pearls. Ropes and ropes of pearls with no shirts, dancing. Its not a new thing.

[quote] Its not a new thing.

It takes a long time for the world to catch up to the fashions and trends started in Delaware!

He would be PERFECT in pearls. But unfortunately he’s not [not yet]

Not if you are rich Dear. Yes, commoners like yourself who might think a one carat diamond ring is special will lose your shirt if you try to sell it. But you get into the 5 carat, and above, or stones that start at the 100,000 dollar range and above they not only hold their value, they appreciate because they are so rare at that size and quality.

Atlanta Braves ballplayer Joc Pederson started wearing pearls in September, with fans (male and female) following suit. Must have been good mojo as the Braves went on to win the World Series.

Joe rocking it!

Pearls and nails

Men ARE wearing pearls. It’s popular right now.

Sorry wrong pic at r64

Only if you are 25. When that guy is 50 and still wearing his pearls he's going to be part of the Caftan brigade.

A single rare black pearl can be cool.

Not so much a while string.

On most men they just give Frank N. Furter.

Cufflinks. Tie pins. That's as far as Men should go with pearls.

Don’t let your husband buy you cheap ones that break and bounce all over the place every time you get murdered.

Men can wear them briefly... it liquefies pretty quickly anyway, as I'm sure you know.

has anyone encountered pearl implants in a cock head? I was watching Real Housewives of Miami and they referenced it as very common with Cubans so I googled it. icky!! It's supposed to be for enhanced pleasure but it looks freakish,.

When you’re young and cute enough

I think a single pearl on a leather cord like r68 pic can look good and not frilly.

Are those pearls that he’s wearing?

Men are wearing pearls and only ignorant bigots have a problem with it. My Trump supporting cousin even complained about it when she came over. Fuck these people.

I love that men are finally expressing themselves.

Me wearing pearls needs to stop.

Pearls and speedo

Model RJ King looks lovely with pearls

Of course

Butch enuff 4 pearls @jerreths

Fuck pearls; if we wear necklaces, I want antique foil murano glass beads or lapis - and not that irregular shaped or dyed shit on a string.

For anyone else who watches MSNBC, Tim Miller comes to mind with this one.

You like?

Handsome young men can wear whatever they desire and pull it off, usually.

Pleasant looking young fellow in his pearls. Looks perfectly natural and cute.

Looks dumb.

Looks great.

No, pearls are just for girls. Unless you like scambling around the floor searching for pearls, try puka schell jewelry. Puka shell necklaces are very attractive on men with an informal, summer look. Man up, just a little.

Charming

Gay guys love pearl necklaces, the liquid kind.

"Pearls are just for girls."

"Pearls are such a boner killer. Who want's a girly boy!"

If we didn't, what would we possibly use for clutching purposes?

Clutch your invisible pearls, gurls.

[quote] The market price for pears has plummeted over the last 5 years. They are relatively cheap now.

Boscs and Bartletts, perhaps.

But Comices have retained their value.

I can think of far more original jewels to wear around one's throat!

This might look nice on a ripped young black man.

Yes!

It can look hot AF on the right guy.

I know R45 is an old reply but 99% pearls on the market including mikimoro are cultured and have been for many many years.

Cultured pearls are produced by a living organism.

^ OMG

Really muscular black men can wear pearls.

This thread is like a pendant (pun intended) to the old "Can I Still be Masculine While Plying an Ornamental Fan?" one.

Butch

Sorry, but they look dumb.

Some Caribbean men get a pearl or two implanted in their enormous pingas to bring extra thrills when they ram holes.

Diamonds are a boy's best friend.

Mirror Mirror

I really want to give the right guy a pearl necklace. It's all stored up.

Can the Pope shit in the woods if there aren't any altar boys to watch it?

That's the question you really should be asking.

Adding to bit about Joc Pederson. Not only did he wear pearls during World Series, but those pearls are now in the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Braves had a pearl specially included in the design of their World Series Rings. He's with the Giants now and occasionally wears his pearls in game. Bonus bit of trivia: his walk-up music is Dancing Queen by ABBA. Bonus bonus: married with three kids.

Repost from the Carl Nassib thread

His latest squeeze Soren Dahl rocking them pearls

R116 Squeeze lol Severino is such an unapologetic slut. Wonder if he would've behaved the same had he been born in my hometown of Naples, Southern Italy, instead of Denmark. Yenno, a slightly more conservative, religious and close-minded place (but ever so slightly, not too much) 🤭

Pearls are meant for truly elegant, classy, biological women. Not men or any of those fictional pronoun people.

Pearls Pearls

Yes, R103.

And in other news, water is wet.

Yes of course OP!

Drape them on a prize whore and he’ll look soooooo beautiful and babygirl.

Fetching.

My husband saw the busboy at a restaurant last week (a hot young muscular guy) wearing pearls and earrings and thought it meant he was gay. I said no, he's just a cholo.

Really Quite Big Tits at r107!

Just a touch of love

No!

I have some male relatives from the 1800s named Pearl. It must have been a unisex name at one time.

[quote] Without looking...well you know.

Huh?

Like a fag.

You tell me OP

Now even handsome Mr @patrickpilot is rocking one!

^ Oops sorry his correct tag is @pilotpatrick

And he usually looks like this

Straight bros are wearing pearls too

^ Watch Fabio @iamfabioteles get ready for a yacht party

And another one. Norway is big on them.

R24! I had begun to think no one was familiar with Chéri but me!

That movie taught me that, yes, a man can wear pearls but only when he is languid, worldly, and moves in circles of debauched people who are only peripherally interested in anything other than 1) money; and 2) themselves.

And the man, preferably a youth, MUST be good looking. Without that, there is no point at all. The pearls will effortlessly defeat you the instant the clasp is closed.

R20, thanks for the link.

The article states that wearing jewelry by men fell out of fashion after the Restoration, which aligns with what many historians and scholars of gender and sexuality argue...that is, around 1700 we begin to see the emergence of heterosexuality and homosexuality, and modern conventions of masculinity and femininity. You could argue as well that those conventions are shifting once more.

Why did I let my sister-in-law have Mother's pearls? Woe is me.

Is that guy watching R135 his dad? If so his dad still looks like a c hild.

Pearls are for sophisticated, eloquent ladies.

I've had several dozen pearl necklaces in the last two or three weeks while I wasn't able to post here.

Tbh pearls like like shit in general.

R44 Men can do whatever they like... good on you. Funny that this thread popped up after I watched an older Hasan Piker podcast of him remonstrating a gay friend of his to return the pearls he loaned him... then he had to clarify "the black ones"... he sports both at times, and it's hilarious he was fine with his mate not returning the others. I think jewellery is completely different with younger folk. Much more freedom, gay or straight.

I inherited a pair of pearl and diamond cufflinks, which were re-worked from some relative's jewellery box... I gave them to a lady friend at university. She had a Stevie Nicks style: loved leather and lace, pearls and peasant skirts. She had a penchant for tailored men's white shirts with french cuffs. She wore them at my dad's memorial service, and I almost cried when she told me they're still her "favourite things" some thirty-five years later.

I'm not one for jewellery on blokes, but I appreciate vintage beads as a young man's necklace...especially those small glass Japanese beads. Keep rockin' what you love mate!

Pearls are so versatile

R143: thanks for sharing

It’s good to see straight guys like Hasan rocking pearls

The sky was blue that day

OP Only when Ward is talking to The Beaver

Pretty pearls

Pearls are versatile

Straight boys are rocking pearls too
