MENS JEWELLERY: MENS NECKLACE

Dog Tags and Necklaces for Men

Though the first dog tag pendants were specifically made for military purposes, they are now a wonderful piece of jewellery for people of all ages and lifestyles. They can be worn with practically anything and create a fantastic conversation pendant.

The first dog tags, produced back in 1906, were made out of aluminium and used for identification purposes. Now, they come in a great selection of metals including white and yellow gold, stainless steel, and platinum. Dog tags were built to withstand the elements and continue to do so to this day. Using high-quality metals makes for a durable and reliable piece of jewellery.

Dog tags also vary in shapes and sizes such as oval and rectangular. Some may be embellished with diamonds or etching to enhance their appearance. There is also a wide variety of chains to hang dog tags on. Chain links and ball chains are popular choices to accent a dog tag. Most choices are simpler chains so that the dog tag pops out and gets the attention it deserves.

Another wonderful aspect of dog tags is the customization. They are blank canvases just waiting to be engraved with anything you desire. Some engraving trends have been quotes, names, dates, and even allergy warnings. An even more creative trend is the portrait sketching. Some engraving specialists can take a portrait and have it shadow sketched onto the dog tag, making a unique keepsake to cherish for a lifetime. As such a versatile pendant, it is no wonder they have only become increasingly more popular over the years. Whether looking for a friend or something for you, a dog tag pendant is the perfect gift.
