Jewelry for men
Rabbi Moshe Leib Halberstadt
Adar 21, 5770
Question
Is it permissible for men to wear Jewelry? Such as a necklace with a Mezuzah or Magen David?
If not, why?
Answer
It is permitted for men to wear men’s jewelry in a place where the custom is that men wear jewelry, but it is prohibited for men to wear jewelry in a place where the custom is that only women wear jewelry because of the Torah prohibition "…neither shall a man put on a woman's garment" (Deuteronomy 22, 5).
