    They can work Ron, I wear one of shells that y brother going to school in Hawaii gave me for christmas, but only with a black t-shirt ands a contemporary kilt. I also wear a the Nordic Rune for good luck but that I tuck beneath my shirt and only the chain can be viewed. So, I say keep trying until you find one that works.


    With my tartan kilts I have a bolo tie in sterling silver, no turquoise, that looks like a cross between celtic and native american work. It works really well instead of a solid color tie.

    I think the secret would be to use a chunky necklace- like a leather strap with puka shells or something- on that is manly on it's own.

    I've seen guys in necklaces and earrings and kilt and they didn't look in the least feminine- all their bling-bling was chunky, dark, and simply shaped.

    I wear a triskele medallion all the time. It's on a short chain so it sits just below my T-shirt neckband. Doesn't look in the least feminine

    I've got a thick (½") chainmail rope that works for me; it's not as anachronistic as a torque, but still harkens back to the celtic style...kind of an updated version I guess. It doesn't seem to look right over a shirt though, only on bare skin under an open collar or with a tanktop ('course, I think the same would hold true with a torque as well).
