Stick Your Neck Out
It's time to embrace the pendant
February 8, 2006—Until now, you probably figured that man jewelry (other than a watch and that band of metal you wear to keep the wife happy) was best left to wiseguys, pirates, and Keith Richards. But with more and more designers putting their energy into coming up with cool designs for men, it may be time to rethink your preconceptions. For Spring 2006, forward-thinking types like Ann Demeulemeester and Kris Van Assche sent models down the runway in pendants that were more rock 'n' roll than disco. Closer to home, meanwhile, New York's Atelier consistently sells out of the pieces it stocks by Rust, a brand whose designs are inspired by Neolithic tools and weaponry rendered in silver and leather. Elsewhere, Mary Jo Pane, whose Miracle Icons line incorporates vintage elements and Buddhist meditation beads from Tibet (left), is also having a tough time keeping up with demand. She counts both Johnny Depp and Matthew McConaughey as clients, but, she adds, "The guys who wear my stuff are from all walks of life. It's not just about rock 'n' roll edginess anymore. It's getting bigger and bigger all the time." Note to Harrison Ford—that still doesn't make the earring okay.
Rust, $350-$425, at Atelier New York, 125 Crosby St., New York, (212) 941-8435; Miracle Icons, $65-395, at Barneys New York, (888) 822-7639, www.barneys.com, and Fred Segal Finery, 500 Broadway, Santa Monica, (310) 917-5546.
