Men’s Jewelry That Makes A Statement



Considering the way many men feel about shopping, let alone shopping for jewelry for themselves, one can understand why many men choose simply not to wear jewelry.  This is a sad reality. This article will give men a look at purchasing jewelry for themselves that will eliminate the mystery involved.  

The first things to determine is exactly what type of pieces are you looking for.  When it comes to making a jewelry purchase are you looking for something that is classic and can be worn to work all the time or are you looking for some fun, funky styled jewelry that may be worn when you are going out on the town.  Narrowing down the jewelry purpose will also help you narrow down exactly what you are looking for.

Nice jewelry to be worn for business, church or dinners out for men can include a simple chain necklace, a classic watch or a bracelet.  Nothing over the top but something simple and classic in one tone should do the job for these types of events.  However if you are looking to make a statement with your jewelry and are a man looking for pieces to accentuate the edge metro sexual style you are trying for try a layered look with bracelets and necklaces of different materials. Simple metals might not do.  Check into rope, hemp materials and leather.  Consider simple solid metal rings worn on a thumb.  This look creates funky, fun styles that appeal usually to younger men or men that are a bit trendier and have an aura of edge.

It can help if you know a bit of information when it comes to jewelry as well.  Color is something that was mentioned above.  Jewelry comes in a variety of metals and materials.  The silver look can be achieved using a variety of metals that range in price: titanium, platinum, white gold and sterling silver.  When looking into the gold tones you can choose between gold in a variety of carats, copper and bronze. 

It is also important to use terms when it comes to the jeweler’s size and proportions when it comes to choosing something for men.  Men should say what they want if the piece is to be bold a slender link is not going to work. Use good descriptive words to express to the jeweler what you want to achieve.  For instance if you are purchasing a set of cufflinks you can’t expect the jeweler to know what you are looking for if you go in and say that you are looking for cufflinks that aren’t overly showy.  Explain to the jeweler what this means to you.  Showy to one person is drab to another. 

Men’s jewelry comes in a variety of price points just as ladies jewelry.  Be upfront when looking for a piece.  The jeweler might sway you towards something costly when in actuality you are looking for more of a costume piece. Being upfront with your budget will help the jeweler stay within your price point when giving you options to achieve the look you desire with your men’s jewelry purchase.
