What is the Right Jewelry for a Man?
Bracelets for Men
One of the most popular pieces of jewelry for men is the bracelet, and there are now really many different types to choose from.
Whether the desired bracelet should be of the classic type, or perhaps the more rugged leather, or the smooth and luxurious ones with genuine gemstones, there are plenty of options.
Leather bracelets for men are often made from soft calfskin, which makes them pleasant to wear, and the clasp is often made of stainless steel with a magnet, making it easy to put on and take off when you go to the sea or perhaps just for a shower.
Among classic bracelets, there are also many patterns that have existed for decades, and today they can be chosen in several different materials such as silver, steel, titanium, or perhaps you desire one in genuine gold.
The patterns vary from curb, anchor facet, Bjørn Borg, to the most sought-after bracelet pattern today, which is the Figaro bracelet, as it is still rugged but also lighter than the others, since some of the links in the bracelet are more open.
Necklaces for Men
Just as bracelets for men have become more sought after, necklaces for men have also made their way onto the wish lists of many men. However, the selection is not as large yet, but there are some types of chains that appeal to many people.
Similar to bracelets, the patterns include curb, Bjørn Borg chain, anchor facet, and of course, the Figaro chain, which is the best-selling one.
We are also seeing more and more stone necklaces featuring genuine stones, such as beautiful brown shifting tiger's eye and matte black onyx.
Last year, various jewelry companies also tried to break through with pearl necklaces for men, but that trend never really took off; perhaps it was still deemed too feminine for a real man.
Earrings for Men
If there is one thing we excel at here at Perlen, it’s spotting the right earrings for men, so we have a wide selection to choose from.
This is where the large diamond earring comes into play, which we see being worn by young men and teenage boys.
There are many different sizes of stones to choose from, ranging from small 3mm zirconia to 8mm white stones. The best-selling "diamond" is the one that measures 7mm, equivalent to a 1.50ct diamond. Because then it can indeed be seen in the ear :)
Hoops for men are also on the rise, where the more masculine earrings are often chosen, made of either oxidized silver or steel.
Rings for men
Yes, yes, I know that there isn’t a ring in the picture, but I just think these bracelets with genuine gemstones are so beautiful, where different materials are creatively combined.
A ring for a man seems difficult to me, unless it’s of course a wedding ring, where there’s no way around it. When I think of a men’s ring, these quirky types of men come to mind.
Those men who are still somewhat searching for what they want, metro men, or men who are struggling and can’t quite find their identity.
Men with rings on their fingers also smell different from women who wear rings. Maybe it’s their sweat that is different, which then oxidizes with the material; I don’t know.
Well, with all that said or written, you can perhaps tell that I am not an advocate for men wearing rings, and therefore not the best at selling them…
Hooray for that—I think you should choose one of these super cool bracelets instead
Cross Necklace for Men
As the last piece of jewelry for men, I want to highlight the cross necklace. I know that there are many other types of jewelry for men that are not mentioned here, but these are the most sought after here with us, and therefore the ones I know the most about.
Whether one wishes to wear a cross necklace is individual, and for some, it’s about faith, while for others, it’s about fashion.
These crosses, like many other types of jewelry for men, come in several different materials such as: steel, silver, gold-plated silver, and gold in either 8 or 14kt.
You can also choose between the completely shiny bar crosses, as seen in the picture here, and crosses that have patterns on them.
If you’re not into a necklace with a cross, it could be an option to choose a chain with a Thor’s hammer instead, which is also a symbol of a belief system that might be a little more liberal than Christianity.
The most important thing is that you believe in yourself, and not least in the people you surround yourself with, regardless of whether you are a man, a woman, or perhaps something in between.
