NYT Feature on Men's Jewelry

The NYT gets with the program and produces some rather immense coverage on the subject of the popularity of men's jewelry. Too bad they're, what, five-six years too late?

Ever since the bling bang, a “why not?” kind of attitude has prevailed. All kinds of men — from the designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce to the tennis player Marat Safin — feel comfortable flaunting jewelry.

Whatever. The good part of the story is the photo...







And the Homeric-in-scope caption:

This is both a very useful reference for some of my favorite men's jewelry designers and retailers, and pretty insane to have to read through. Save this list.
