It would be great for some men, awful for others. Louis XIV would have loved it.

OP: !

Um, no, to your question, if you are talking about some "generic" man.

But maybe it would be good for YOU, if you like it?

P.S. Full disclosure: I don't like ANY necklaces on a man (well, MY man), or bracelets either for that matter. A wristwatch, that's OK. And a wedding ring is fine.

Ah, no! Try Egyptian or African King.

It's not for modern men. Unless he's into garbage collecting.

No, it's not. I think you think it's a necklace, but it isn't, it's a military medallion.

It's fashioned after an old style European (Greek or Russian or German) military sunburst medallion of merit and honour. Military medallions and smaller medals are not intended to be worn as common jewelry. To wear it as jewelry would be pretentious and boastful and one that size would make a man out of uniform look foolish and people would laugh at him, especially if it wasn't deservedly awarded to him by his superiors.

Medallions that big have to go on chains around the neck because they are heavy. They are intended to be worn together with other medals, badges and patches of rank and station on a dress uniform when the person who was awarded the medal is wearing his dress uniform to important military dress functions.

That one has been altered, it's old and when you look at it under high magnification you can see it is badly scratched and gouged in places. Somebody has tried to buff it but didn't do a good job.

The crested hawk insignia in the center of the sunburst may give you an indication of what country and military order it's fashioned after.

Depends. Would pair nicely with grillz. Just kidding...

Not really a typical jewelry for a man. Too flashy.
This is not a military medalion.
This is Aztec Sunburst Pendant Necklace, suitable for a woman. Vintage item showing some wear.
