The first archaeological findings of earrings date to the third millennium BC， when men wore them as symbols of virility and military audacity. Constantly present as a detail of attire， all earrings， even for women， disappeared during the middle Ages but were once again fashionable during the Renaissance period， when there was a return especially of pearl earrings. In the 17th century pearl earrings fashion gave way to diamond stud earrings， with the rapidly increasing predominance of this gem in every ornament.

Mens Jewelry by Damiani
Talking about mens jewelry is a little bit like going back to the debut of jewelry art： it was created to honour authority， military ability， courage and power. Women learnt the value and pleasure of wearing precious ornaments from men.
Until the 18th century， there wasnt a clear distinction between mens jewelry and womens jewelry； all ornaments were worn indifferently by men or women， feeding the vanity of men and women with the ostentation of precious creations.
Every age and culture has ascribed great importance to mens jewelry： from the Humanistic period and the Renaissance to 18th century Russia and the Czars and English Lords in the 19th century， history is full of men who celebrated the luxury of their clothing and jewelry with pearls， gems and diamonds.
Today， never as before has mens jewelry experienced a period of absolute glory. A jewel bought to celebrate a professional achievement， or simply to affirm ones personality through exclusive design and precious materials： mens jewelry proposes precious and elegant objects to respond to mens distinct tastes.

DAMIANI珠宝项链
从钻石项链到金项链以及珍珠项链：声望卓着的卓越工艺
项链或许是最古老的珠宝：在最开始，如同其他所有的装饰品一样，它们被应用在宗教仪式上，被认为可以禁锢住邪恶的力量。 纵观历史，不同时期、不同审美品位，珠宝制作技术也有所不同，男士和女士项链有了越来越精致的外形。而在文艺复兴时期之后，项链成为了女性专用的饰品，少了笨重之感，愈加突出宝石的自然之美。 从历史上看来，这一饰品的前景与时尚趋势有着非常直接的联系，今天的男士、女士项链仍旧是珍贵的饰品。
