Top Five Jewellery Gifts for Men
If you’re looking for a classic jewellery gift for a special man in your life, these five jewellery ideas will make a great present, with enough variety in terms of design to please any discerning wearer.
1. Diamond Rings
Dress rings are not only for weddings or women. Diamond rings for men come in very flattering and masculine styles and can be given for any occasion, including engagements or as a commitment ring. Consider paved design, hammer set, tension set, or even halo design diamond rings. Vintage design rings, with large bands and clusters of diamonds, are the ultimate in the ‘bling’ style.
2. Men’s Watches
Watches always make very practical gifts, but they can create an impression of prestige and professionalism. Consider the following styles:
- Classic elegant – if budget is not an issue, a high precision, multifunctional, Swiss-branded watch maybe the way to go. These watches usually last a lifetime, though they do need occasional specialised maintenance.
- Chrome – chrome or stainless steel watches look just as classy as some of the other top brands but won’t break your bank balance. Like the Swiss brands, chrome watches have metal bands, rims and clasps.
- Leather – Leather banded watches provide a classic look and are relatively less expensive. Look out for different face styles – from rectangular to oblong and square.
- Sport style – If your partner is an outdoorsy type, a sport style watch can provide useful functionality while integrating aesthetics. Some examples are diving watches that show depths, watches with in-built stopwatches, or those with special functions such as lighting and other features. What’s uniform among these watches is that they are rugged and built to withstand impact and extreme weather conditions.
3. Chain Necklaces
Chain necklaces make great gifts for men, enhancing any outfit by flattering the neck area. Silver, titanium, and steel chain necklaces, whether of narrow and tight chains or with large, chunky chains, can add to a masculine and attractive appearance. Men can come to love necklaces with pendants that have a special significance or a meaningful engraving.
4. Link Bracelets
Bracelets may not be for all men, but lots of men, having been given these as a gift from their loved ones, grow to love their bracelets. For men, it’s probably safer to go for a minimalist style rather than an overtly chunky look.
Minimalist style link bracelets, with thin bands and no engraving, go well with a professional outfit (such as suits) as they don’t stand out in an obvious manner. Stainless steel, silver, or titanium with a polished matt look will make a suitable gift.
Alternatively, you can consider giving him a leather bracelet. These often come with silver or metal clasps and give a more casual or dressed-down look.
5. Diamond Earring
Diamond earrings are probably not for every guy, but for the ultimate metrosexual (and the occasional rock star), a single diamond stud can make an interesting fashion statement. This piece is probably not for everyday wear, but perhaps for an evening out or some special occasion.
So these are some gifts that range from the practical to the purely aesthetic. As long as you know your male friend or partner will feel comfortable with wearing these pieces, there’s no reason why not to consider giving your partner an attractive piece of jewellery on your next special occasion.
