For my recommendations, I think that men should wear a minimal amount of jewelry. My rules are:
1 watch (not total, you can have different styles)
2 rings. 1 wedding, one college, freemason, world series, something like that. as far as the second ring, particularly college, I am not crazy about it, but for instance if you went to one of the military academies you probably wear your ring.
If you have to be formal at all, no earrings. I don't like them anyways, but if you have to think about your formal appearance, then put your toys away.
If you wear a chain, it should be very simple and preferably only to carry a religious symbol. I do have a gold chain that is fairly discreet, but you never see it and I hang my wedding band from it when I work out so I don't lose or scratch it.
No bracelets. Period.
Tie tacks, clips, etc should be discreet.
Cufflinks are ok, and this you can use to advertise something like golf or something else trivial and noncontroversial.
Otherwise, thats it. Obviously, people are going to have different opinions about this, but this is what I follow and would recommend.
