Men’s Tribal Rings bring out the “Native” in any Man

As we all know, men are naturally averse to change. That’s why they rarely alter their style of dress or their selection of watches and rings. While trends for women seem to come and go, it’s a rare thing for a new men’s fashion trend to take off, but when it does it usually lasts a lot longer. Such is the case with men’s tribal rings.





A few years ago, men’s fashion designers started showing a "tribal look" in their urban-inspired fashion collections. It wasn’t an immediate hit, but the fusion of native symbolism with urban American culture must have resonated with younger men, because now it is quite common to see men wearing tribal-like symbols on their clothing and accessories.





It started out with ethnically inspired symbols emblazoned on belt buckles and edgy geometric patterns on scarves and sweaters, but the tribal look has grown to be a whole lot more. Today’s runways feature men’s jewelry that captures the ancient hieroglyphics of Egypt and strappy sandals that would fit right in at a Native American tribal ceremony. But not every man is open to the idea of tribal fashions. Many would prefer to pay homage to this trend in a less overt and more meaningful way - by wearing men’s tribal rings.





According to Judy Devine, co-owner of JustMensRings.com, sales of men’s tribal rings have skyrocketed in the past six to twelve months. She attributes this to a growing acceptance of fashion jewelry among men – especially younger urban guys, bikers and artists. In fact, men’s tribal rings have become so popular at JustMensRings.com that they have added several new edgy styles to their already extensive collection.





When asked why she thinks the "urban tribal" trend has drawn so much interest among men, Ms. Devine points to designers like Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg, who started dressing runway models in animal prints, "war paint" and chunky tribal jewelry last year. While men may be a long way from embracing the racy styles presented at New York’s Fashion Week, they can get on board in a more conservative way by wearing men’s tribal rings.





Which rings are considered men’s tribal rings?





For the most part, men’s tribal rings are about as diverse as the guys who wear them. They run the gamut from Asian calligraphic symbols to symbolic rings that feature serpents, flames and animal prints. Even a Zen-like swirl pattern or a geometric design can fall into the tribal category of fashion rings, but they all share a common undercurrent. Men’s tribal rings are modern man’s answer to the electronic age. They are the fashion world’s answer to information overload because they help men recall their natural origins and tribal ancestry; a time before electronics, smart phones and TiVo.





Among the more popular men’s tribal rings for sale at JustMensRings.com is an edgy-looking stainless steel spinner ring with a black tribal symbol all around the outer spinning band. Other tribal designs include a serpent ring in 316L stainless steel, a black stainless steel wave ring with a white stainless steel wave, or a laser etched flame ring. Men often choose men’s tribal rings that incorporate the elemental symbols of air, fire, water, flora and fauna.
