Carry you should look at old pictures of the man in New Guinea and the South Pacific and of course the man in Africa, India, Golden Triangle etc. (or the man in Holland in the 17th century are also very decorated!).
I am interested in man jewels where it is not obvious that a man wears jewels. like in the Muslim world!!
I did not know about Holland and will check that out!! Do you have by change a link???
carry. it is difficult to find men jewels in arabic or muslim culture. rings , yes another jewelry:::: maybe in some circles, like magier.
fr this, they wear nice belts, bags,portemonnaies,powder bags,pipes pouches,amulettes, swords and knifes ( verry beautiful ones) hand fire weapons,lances
some thing als too. the horse or kamel has to be beautiful too and with nice jewelry. the saddle is some time more expensive than the horse ( silver work on saddle )
Hello Carry I ment to say by: Holland that the man in (the rich and famous) did wear the most beautiful embroidered clothing, lace silk, tassels and belt and shoe buckles, rings pins.
