BUYING JEWELRY FOR THOSE THAT DON’T WEAR IT

There are still many options available when choosing a gift for those that don’t wear jewelry. Cuff links are available in just as many varieties as most types of jewelry, constructed from metals ranging from simple stainless steel to platinum with or without gemstones. Watches too are available in a wide variety of styles and types. If you’re looking to purchase something a little more unique consider a loose gemstone such as an opal or ruby. These serve not only as a great investment but can be placed on a desk or wall unit. Time pieces and chains are still quite popular among many men and once again available in a wide range of styles. Money clips are also a common gift idea for men not comfortable wearing traditional types of jewelry.

FOR MEN THAT WEAR JEWELRY

In addition to the options above many other types of jewelry are popular among men that choose to wear jewelry. Thicker necklaces have been popular among men for quite some time, both gold and silver. Some men will also wear thicker bracelets during social occasions. Gold rings with diamonds are also common among European men and is a trend spreading to Western cultures.

WHICH MATERIALS AND GEMSTONES TO CHOOSE?

Tungsten and Platinum are popular metals used in the construction of men’s jewelry. Tungsten is the strongest of all metals used in the construction of jewelry and therefore a wise choice for jewelry which will be exposed to workshops and other situations which would scratch other metals like silver and gold. The masculine grey and typically matte finish of Tungsten jewelry also contributes to its popularity amongst men. Platinum is popular for its strength and is a common choice for men’s wedding bands.
