Exquisite Object #2: Man Brooches

Personally, I think this is a fabulous idea. There are simply too few accessories for men which do not come off as cheap, flashy, or in generally bad taste. Rings are stereotypical, demonstrated in Querelle et al. Necklaces of shell or beads are juvenile, chain, sleazy. Facial piercing seem to have uncomfortable, and distinctly unfashionable, cultural associations, eyebrows are for bros, lips are for those hideous knife blade youth who wear neon with black and hold halfhearted allegiance to some inchoate philosophy involving something like misanthropy only shallower, and nose piercings, while not truly offensive, do seems to carry with them an unpleasant self regard for some perceived conceit to femininity. As for the general male accessories- and believe me this statement would, generally, be entirely anathema to my delicate sensibilities- they are just too subtle. Tie clips and cufflinks are all well and good, but I really must insist on something with a bit more ardor. I also thought medals might have potential, though I suppose one would have to be careful to prevent them from becoming costumey or, and I shudder at the very thought, "steampunk." P.S. "Exquisite Object" in this post refers to the platonic "man brooch" rather than any specific broach, so perhaps "exquisite conceptual object" would have been more appropriate.
