Want to give the man in your life a memorable gift? Why not try jewelry for a change. Yes, jewelry, for the modern man also loves adorning himself with polished stones and precious metals. But where do you start? Start with the ideas listed below.

Gold Watch

To men, a watch is more than another functional accessory. It’s a reflection of their character, style, and masculinity. No wonder they collect watches as women collect shoes. And, no wonder not so long ago, fathers handed their sons a gold or silver watch as a coming of age gift. Buy him a one, and he’ll cherish it for life.

Silver Bracelet

Stylish and a fitting complement to a luxury watch or tailored suit, a bracelet in sterling silver is as masculine as they come. It follows a fine tradition tracing back to World War II when men first wore bracelets en masse for the first time, though for identification, and when a trend lasting to this day began. As a solid band has a classic feel and look to it, you’ll never go wrong with it. However, keep the band narrower than the band of his watch.

Gemstone Ring

When it comes to rings, men prefer a laid-back style. So, whatever you settle on, let it have a large, masculine band and a not-so-bright stone. As for the band, go with any metal catching your fancy. Gold, silver, or stainless steel - all are great. Only remember that yellow gold is too bright. And for the stone, chose darker hues like green quartz, jade, onyx, or ruby. But if he loves something more colorful, then consider turquoise, amber, and topaz.

Gold or Silver Chain

Men have worn jewelry around their necks for millennia, but never as costume jewelry. Instead of big jewels and rows of necklaces to match an outfit or to act as a centerpiece, men want a chain to complement what they wear. For this reason, their neck wear is more rugged and natural-looking with large boxy or square links. And if they want to call attention to a chain, they have it in gold, instead of silver. Or, they add a jewel-encrusted pendant, which again is almost always low-key.

Diamond-Encrusted Accessories

A man’s suit is never complete without cuff links or tie bars. And being small, these accessories are one of the few places in which a man wants a stone as bright as a diamond. The metal they’re made of can be gold, sterling silver, or even titanium. As for the diamond, it can be either white or black.

Conclusion

Men are notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. But with jewelry, you cannot go wrong. Only ensure to buy stylish, but laid-back, pieces. They’re more masculine.
