A men's lucky charm necklace is steeped in meaning. A lucky charm will bring good fortune while also being an unusual and interesting style of jewelry.
There are a wide range of different types of lucky charm. These range from manufactured charms that depict a character or icon that represents good luck, through to a personal item of special meaning. A men's lucky charm necklace is a great way to wear the charm, keeping it close to the body.
Types of Men's Lucky Charm Necklace
Finding the right type of lucky charm necklace will depend on the taste and style of the individual. Some men enjoy traditional and classic styling, while others opt for contemporary or more unusual items. The wide choice of men's lucky charms, however, means that there is bound to be a type to meet all tastes.
Lucky Symbols or Icons
There are many items that symbolize good luck. One of the most well known is the four leaf clover and this is a popular shape for a charm. This works well as a necklace and is stunning in both yellow gold or silver. Give this traditional charm a contemporary makeover by combining the charm with a leather thong.
Religious Symbols
Some religious symbols bring good fortune or comfort to the wearer. The Saint Christopher icon is very distinctive and is said to bring good luck to travelers or people on a journey. There are many other types of religious jewelry that are popular, including wooden Saint Charms. If you are looking for a charm with a difference, then some religious symbols that are suitable for wearing as charms can be found in antique stores. This is a good way to find something a little bit extra special.
Personal Charms
Some lucky charms are personal and unique to the owner. A lucky ring, for instance, can be worn around the neck as a charm. This is a useful way to wear a ring, particularly if a man has a profession where the wearing of rings is not permitted. This is also a good way for a man to wear a ring that is too small to wear on a finger with comfort. Dad charms are also a personal form of charm and are even more special when this is a gift from a child.
Looking After a Lucky Charm Necklace
It is essential that men's lucky charm necklaces are well cared for. A regular clean will help to keep the charm looking in great condition. Dirty charms lose their shine and can look dull and uninteresting. It is also important to store a lucky charm necklace carefully when it is not being worn. There are many different types of jewelry organizer that will help to keep a charm necklace carefully stored.
Charms are usually hung from a chain and as such there are a few potentially weak points that need to be checked regularly for signs of wear and tear. These are:
- Charm fitting: The fitting that fixes the charm to the necklace may pull loose or start to open. This means that the charm may fall off and get lost. Checking the charm fitting regularly will ensure that any weak points are identified early on. These can then be repaired by a jeweler.
- Chain: If the charm is very heavy or if the chain is lightweight, the chain may become weak and could break. It is important to match the weight of charm to a suitable weight of chain to avoid a chain becoming damaged. A jeweler will be able to give more advice.
- Clasp: The clasp of a necklace can become damaged or weak through wear and tear. Things to watch for include a clasp becoming stiff and not closing properly or a clasp coming open unexpectedly.
Men's charm necklaces are a lovely item of jewelry, combing style with a special meaning.
