Okay good, I don't want to add more stuff to my photobucket just to post in here!

I was wondering if anyone wears masculine jewelry?

I used to wear my college ring but it seemed uncomfortable on my finger so I don't wear it anymore.

I do, Chaqueso!

I have a sterling silver pride ring, a gold belt buckle with tiny diamonds ring, and I wear a heavy stainless steel nautical cut neck chain & a matching bracelet.

I wore one high quality matte sterling silver ring for over 20 years and wore a couple stainless steel rings periodically for many, many years until testosterone increased my ring size I am not keen on bracelets or necklaces, but I love watches.

I do like the look of masculine jewelry on butches, if that is what you are asking. I don't like the look of a lot of pieces of jewelry on me at the same time. Just a simple ring and a watch.

I wear a necklace once in a while. I use to wear a watch but not any longer. Since I was diagnosed with RA watches, rings and bracelets all feel constricting to me.

I wear a men's necklace and watch, most of the bracelets I own and wear on occasion are masculine. My rings are guys rings, I mainly wear them on my middle and thumb fingers.

My spouse wears a masculine wedding band, a heavy chain with a cross that is kinda masculine, and a men's heavy silver bracelet. I forget what it is but it's not sterling?

In my family tradition, after the Matriarchy passed, her jewelry was supposed to be inherited by the next oldest female. When the time came to be my turn to inherit the jewelry, the entire family knew I was born a Butch, that Never wore feminine jewelry. I knew the next in line after me loved to wear feminine jewelry, so I broke the tradition and told my aunt to leave the jewelry to her, except for my grandfather's 32nd degree mason ring, which I still wear today.

Hi Glenn,

A Mason ring is so cool. Thank you for sharing.

I have one ring that I purchased twice at the state fair... after. I lost the first one. 15 dollar cheap thing, but I love it because it is still so fitting to me after all these years.

I used to wear leather cuffs, but that was back in my younger years. I've been wanting a simple lather bracelet though.

Have you tried searching online for bracelets?

What the heck do people do about dress shirts. By the time I get men's to fit my chest, they look rediculous.

I actually bought a woman's on today. Ya know, it isn't the tag that pisses me off about women's clothing. It's that every damned inch of how they are made is to sexualize and accentuate shit that not every one likes shown off. I don't think it's even just about being MOC, there have to be femmenine women who also don't want their bodies accentuated that way, at lest not all the time. That isn't to say it's wrong if you like looking that way, but where is the variety?

Anyway, my struggle is that I have to dress for a conservative cousins wedding. I'm told the attire is "cocktail." A shirt and tie seems obvious but I cannot get dress shirts to fit right. And well, from my griping above you can tell that finding a simple white button up in the women's department can't be done without darts (thank god this one at least buttons all the way up)

I wear mens button down shirts, I don't have any issues with how they look on me, just the arms are too long LOL.. I am very short so about everything is too long on me.

A suggestion maybe to go to a tailor or order one online from a butch outfitters company, they make them actually fit a butches body and they are pretty nice shirts too.

I agree with JD.. mens dress shirts do not work for all body types... for me the vintage fitted shirts seem to work great.... but a great resource for shirts is the Dapper Q site... which i follow.. its very helpful..
