I like them. How nice you are showing us these mans jewels. We should try to find some more pictures. Like the bracelet from the Saudi Arabia in my photo's page 2.
In Oman there are a few mans jewels like a special type of bracelet for man which were worn above the elbow like the bazubands ( 2 types of them). And the Mànjad for man worn across one shoulder across the chest or the crossed bandoliers (telahik). Also the long earring.
In Tibet and Nepal there is a lot of jewelry for man etc.
Worn by man in the north west of Afghanistan on their upper arm!!
Inside they put a rolled piece of Koran!!
This piece is complete with the bangles still on it
