Today’s Male can easily become a fashion icon without going OTT (over the top!). Men who feel good no matter what they wear – business suits, casual jackets and designer t-shirts are not proof to some welcome jewellery accessories.

Take hand jewellery for example, the trends are welcoming and widespread, lets explore mens bracelets and mens rings to start with.

The trend in mens bracelets is towards metallic links often with two tone contrasts in strong geometric shapes.

Rhodium and gold plate bracelets are fast overtaking “rubber band” bracelets to show masculinity and maturity.

Worn for day or evening, the bracelet can channel its style from the outfit. See the appeal with a dress suit, then change to jeans and a jacket – versatility plus!

Well groomed nails are further enhanced with a mens dress ring. Again, strong geometric shapes dominate, contrasting areas of enamel bring attention to the hands and a hint of glamour can be added by one or two carefully positioned and discrete cubic zirconia – nothing too bold or brash, just one or two tiny but classic stones.

Just like in the womens jewellery ranges there are a wide variety of price points, from the basic base metal ring, through gold or rhodium plate (fantastic to ward off tarnish) into sterling silver (look for argentium sterling silver, again to avoid the tarnish) and 12 or 14K gold or gold filled. Naturally it is not about price, but about what makes you feel good that matters. Mens jewellery in particular tends towards the classic piece rather than the fancy showpiece – ladies – take note! Timeless and simple designs win over aggressive and trendy fads.

The message? Mens jewellery is here to stay and with fashion jewellery at such inexpensive prices, men can experiment to find the styles that suit themselves.

Gifts for your man

Valentine’s Day is about saying “I Love You” to that special someone you love. If it is a man to whom you are saying these wonderful words, there is no reason not to present him with a gift too. Valentine’s Day is not just for the ladies.

Fewer men are going to be delighted with a heart shaped jewellery gift however! For a Man’s valentine Day present, may we suggest a dress ring or bracelet – of course in a masculine style and in masculine colours.

Men’s jewellery has evolved in the last few years with many designers jumping on the growing bandwagon. Men like to look good too.

Mans Classic Dress Ring

Men’s Dress Rings for example are an ideal gift, many come with Cubic Zirconia stones to highlight the design, like in this gold plate ring from rayclif.com. The stylish square cut dress ring has two small cubic zirconia to highlight the stylish black enamel diagonal stripe. A real man’s ring. Many men have a ring stored in their bedside table drawer a quick look will give you the dimensions you need – just trace around the inside of the ring and measure it from side to side, add a millimetre or two to be sure and order away! Most reputable jewellery companies will be happy to exchange if you find you have ordered the wrong size.

Men’s bracelets however are a little easier to purchase as no special sizing is necessary. A man’s bracelet is usually 20-21cm long so will fit the average man beautifully. This jewellery is a great adjunct to a man’s fashion wardrobe, the styles are classic and strong and the construction will see him through many an evening out. Here is an example, a man’s two tone bracelet in rhodium and gold plate. See how the geometry of the design shows strength and the colours compliment each other to further enhance the bracelet?
