This type of jewelry is normally symbolic to the person who is wearing it. These symbols can represent just about anything that the wearer wants it to represent.

You will find Insignia style rings, pendants, earrings, cufflinks, tie pins and watches in the fashion jewelry market or set into gold and other precious and semi-precious metals. This style makes it perfect for guys or gals to wear easily and to dress it up or down. This is a comeback style as it was popular back in the 80's as well as in the 50's and earlier. It can take on a certain preppy look too depending on how you pair it with your clothing.

When wearing Insignia style jewelry it is recommended that you wear only one or two pieces at a time so that you are not over doing it with your fashion accessories statement. For instance, if you are wearing an Insignia style ring and pendant, then keep your bracelets and earrings plain.
