Today, dog tags are more than a symbol of being in the Armed Forces. Dog tags are now seen as appropriate to wear by normally jewelry-averse men. Due to their obvious connection with the military, dog tags are seen as a sort of status symbol; as if they elevate the wearer to that of "warrior".

Traditionally, dog tags are silver in color, regardless of materials used to manufacture them. Dog tags typically come in a set of two. Because dog tags tend to make a lot of noise as they swing around the wearers neck, silencers were developed to keep them from chiming. Silencers are sleeves that go around the outside of the dog tag to keep them from making noise as the wearer moves.

Dog tags worn for fashion purposes range from silver, gold, and even gem-encrusted. Unlike traditional dog tags that merely identify the wearer by name, rank, and serial number, fashionable dog tags tend more to identify the character of the man wearing them, based on the designs or logos a man chooses to sport. Typically, fashion dog tags do not have silencers, but there are some styles that may incorporate them into their design.

Fashion dog tags can range in price from inexpensive to expensive, depending on the manufacturer. Fashion dog tags can be custom-made to suit the taste and desires of the wearer. Dog tags make a great gift idea for men whether soldier or civilian. Regardless of cost or taste, dog tags can be made to fit any style and budget.

Dog tags have come a long way from their military origins. Fashion dog tags may not identify the wearer by name, but they can help a man identify his personal style.

During the days of the civil war, soldiers had worn tags to identify themselves during times of combat. Thus began the history of the usage of dog tags. What had originally began as a form of military identification, has now become a personal statement for the fashion savvy guy. There are innumerable choices in dog tag necklaces for the trendy male to consider. Beginning with the basic sterling silver dog tag, which is engravable to express any statement, these can typically be bought almost anywhere jewelry is sold.

Of course if money is no object of consideration, one might opt to purchase a custom made men's dog chain which even features diamond accents along the design. There are contemporary styles which are uniquely crafted with today's man in mind. Some feature special sayings, symbols, zodiac signs, etc. If given as a gift, a men's dog tag necklace can have a special message engraved commemorating the occasion.

For lasting appeal, it is most preferable to purchase the dog tag in sterling silver, as it is generally more durable than pewter or another less expensive metal. Some necklaces feature dual tags for designated meaning or effect. Rosewood can be used as an accent design, as well as gemstones. Stainless steel, titanium, gun metal, brass, black onyx or even jade can be considered when looking for a unique and attractive piece.

The designs available in these neckchains are virtually unlimited. Many of these can be put on special order for the man of distinction. Some feature updated versions of original classics, often with 14k gold accents or center engravings. In searching for distinctive pieces, it's important to look for exquisite detailing which features intricate design.

It's most common to find men's dog tags with a box link chain, available in accommodating lengths. Ball chains are also practical and common as well. If the ball is large enough to accommodate, a more elaborately styled chain can also be used. Some prefer to place their dog tags on an adjustable leather cord, which typically comes in the color black. Depending upon the pendant design and metal used, a neckchain will be appropriately matched.

For memorable gift giving, a personalized photo can be imprinted on the pendant. Many online websites offer this service, and all that is required is a digital photo to be uploaded with the order. Accessories are also available as well. There are silencers which can be placed around the pendant to prevent the metal from making a clashing noise when moved.

In conclusion, men's dog tags remain extremely popular and are available in a wide array of designs and styles. For those who seek a hand crafted expression of originality, there are several websites that feature specialty jewelry for men.
