How to Buy Jewellery for Men: A Guide for Women

Buying jewellery for men has traditionally been seen as something of a challenge. In general men wear less accessories than women, although that convention is thankfully disappearing as modern men are more comfortable expressing their individual style.

So how do you choose jewellery for the man who has it all? The key is to distill his style down to its essential elements.

• Men’s rings are traditionally simple but there are ways to subtle sparkle
• Bangles and bracelets can carry a symbol of his favourite things
• A good pair of cufflinks will never go out of style
• Lapel pins are making a comeback as a unique style symbol

Choose the right metal for men’s rings

Rings are a cornerstone of every man’s jewellery collection. One of the most important things to remember with men’s rings is quality over flare. Especially if the man in your life is new to accessorising, choosing an understated design made from high quality precious metals is guaranteed to impress without overwhelming. Here are a few tips on choosing the right ring, from engagement rings to every day accessories:

• Simple band designs work best
• If he works with his hands, he might prefer a ring that will not get in the way
• Consider his dress style, and choose precious metal to match
• Men tend to go for complementary jewellery, where women use sparkle to accessorise
• Draw inspiration from your own engagement ring for a custom ring to match
• Diamonds might be a girl’s best friend, but men appreciate them too

Because men may only wear one ring, crafting a piece that complements his skin tone and fashion sense means he can wear it every day.
