Jewelry and accessories

[Peter Crowe]

Plain gold wedding band and an understated wristwatch (when not carrying a pocket watch in a waistcoat pocket). I don't know if cufflinks count but when formally dressed for evening events (Prince Charlie, Dinner Suit (US-Tuxedo) etc.), and even in day wear kilted or otherwise (e.g. lounge suit) if my shirt has double cuffs (US-French cuffs).

I was brought up by both my parents, late grandfather and various older male role models that a well turned out gentleman wears little or no jewelry. Less is very definitely more.

When I was a youth (17) and after I had left the Air Training Corps I got my left ear pierced in the misguided (and erroneous) notion that I was a bit of a rebel. However, I became amenable to good advice by my early twenties and took the earring out for good. A decision I haven't ever regretted.
