Practical Jewellery

In some some animal species it is the male that fusses over its appearance. This is not true of us generally, where women enhance their beauty by eating right, wearing make-up, not farting in lifts.

If this was not the case, and men had needed to accessorise, I bet the jewellery would combine decoration with utilisation.

Men would wear the earrings, but there would be a phillips screwdriver dangling off the left ear and a selection of allen keys plated in white gold around their ankles.

Two of their bangles could be stuck against each other to quicklight a fire, and every broach would have a compass woven into it's design.

Pashminas would contain a secret pouch of stones, for an impromptu David sling.

Age-defying skin cream would any be available in a warpaint edition.

If these products existed today, men could tidy their look up a bit, but have the backup defence that they were approved by Bear Grylls.
