Man beads - my son's bracelets and a necklace

A long time ago I asked someone's son on here which beads I should propose to my son to get him interested in beads and bracelets.

My son is adult and has his own view on most things, including beads. He saw me bead playing and took out his own to rearrange, and he even let me take photos to share with you

Here they are:

Nice. He has some great beads.

Wow. Those bracelets are cool, and certainly beads worn in a manly style (I wouldn't have needed the hairy chest/wrist to detect the male touch in these designs )

I am slowly building a collection for my son. He's seven. He truly loves my TB, but I am trying very hard to just limit my purchases for him for his birthday or Christmas as he may one day turn his back on them. He has four silvers and one glass bead. He keeps them on a leather necklace with an elephant lock. My LD gave me a gift box with Trollbeads for Men on it. I love it just as much as his collection!!

I forgot to say that the gears bead is just awesome. I have that site as a favorite.

Nice mix. I find it interesting that he included End of School and an owl.

End of School - I was puzzled by your name for that bead (I now know that it is the English version), since the bead signifies end of High School here.

Now he is studying at the university, and the Graduation bead is for ending studies at university level. I think that he hopes to get Graduation too

The owl signifies wisdom and was gifted to him

Other beads gifted to him were put away as uninteresting, so the beads on the photo were promoted in status to be worn.

I like his collection Bluesybeads. It must be nice that you can play with your beads together

A cool combo.

I love the variety! Amazing beads!

Very cool, Danish men are so stylish

So cool - maybe I´ll have to show my sons to have them bead-playing with me sometimes.....

I love the bracelet on the far right. Did your son make that? My DH is looking at leather:)

It's terrific to see designs by men! Great beads!
