Male jewelry is a notoriously difficult nut to crack. A little too much leather here
and flashy bling there, and you start to look like Mr. T on a job interview.
If only there was a jewelry maker out there that managed to straddle the line between ornamentation and
ruggedness…
Introducing Miansai, your new home for handcrafted accessories fashioned from the most
testosterone-fueled items on the planet.
Recently launched by a Miami-based antique dealer's son, think of Miansai as the jewelry John Rambo would
casually throw on after polishing off a couple local law-enforcement agents and a wild boar. The line runs
the gamut from rings to bracelets to rosaries, all crafted from salvaged pieces of male badass like .38mm
bullets, silver and brass knuckles and gold-plated razor blades.
If you check out the site, you'll notice that each piece is made to
look a bit vintage, as if it's something you might have picked up in a land-comb through Dresden circa 1946.
The ribbon necklaces in particular evoke military glory, and feel more like wearing a pair of infantry dog
tags than something you'd get at Tiffany's. Meanwhile, the razor blade cufflinks and necklaces will add a
touch of R.P. McMurphy edginess to any ensemble.
We especially recommend them for your next business negotiation.
