Men’s Tribal Rings

Men from all walks of life are getting into the “tribal look”, and nowhere is this more noticeable than in current collections of men’s fashion rings.  Tribal rings are a fusion of symbolism and urban culture that give men a sense of belonging; not to a “tribe” per se, but to a more spiritual interpretation of masculinity.  Gone are the days when men were afraid to express their sense of mystery through jewelry.  The rising popularity of tribal rings is evidence of a move back to nature and a greater appreciation for native cultures.  Using ethnically-inspired symbols, geometric patterns, and organic textural elements in men’s jewelry is a growing trend that recalls the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt, while maintaining a purely urban “edge”.

 

 

Why Has Men’s Fashion Gone “Tribal”?

 

 

When it comes to “urban tribal” fashions, some might say that it started among New York’s fashion elite, when designers Diane Von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs sent models down Fashion Week runways wearing chunky tribal jewelry and wild animal prints in unexpected colors.  While far less risqué in their appearance, men’s tribal rings fit right in with this style. But like any other men’s jewelry, they tend to be a more conservative in design.

 

 

What Tribal Symbols are used on Tribal Rings?

 

 

The symbols seen on men’s tribal rings represent a mix of designs as unique as their wearers. Look for Celtic rings, Asian-inspired calligraphy, “Survivor-style” primitive markings, Native American patterns, animal prints, serpents, flames and waves, to name a few.  Some rings are reminiscent of ancient cultures and cave drawings, while others maintain an edgy, geometric look; but somehow all of them embody that inexplicable human bond that ties us all together through the language of symbols.  Perhaps this new appreciation for tribal design is fashion’s answer to our data-driven, computerized society.

 

 

What are some of the popular Tribal Rings?

 

 

Among contemporary tribal rings, here are a few that have gained a foothold with men.  An urban favorite is a 316L stainless steel serpent ring, featuring a serpent design in black enamel.  Another edgy looking style is a Sterling Silver or stainless steel spinner ring with a black tribal sign on the outer Spinning Band.  For a modern interpretation of “tribal”, consider a stainless steel ring with a lasered “flame” design all the way around.  Black Stainless steel is becoming a popular metal for tribal rings too, with one version featuring a white stainless steel wave pattern running through the middle of a black band.  There are countless other designs for tribal rings, including Celtic knots, Chinese characters, Claddagh Rings, and Native American spiritual rings with symbols inspired by fire, air, water, animals and plants.

 

 

Rather than owning just one ring, many men are starting their own collections of tribal rings.  This is because sterling silver and stainless steel tribal rings are relatively inexpensive and readily available.  However, true Native American tribal rings can be pricey because these handcrafted pieces often include turquoise and natural gemstones.
