Men's Jewelry: Necklaces, Bracelets, Rings and Pendants
Men's jewelry in one place: necklaces, bracelets, rings and pendants for men, in stainless steel, 925 sterling silver and 18K gold plated. Not sure where to start? Choose a 55 cm chain or a 20 cm bracelet: the sizes we sell most often.
Men's jewelry in one place: necklaces, bracelets, rings and pendants for men, in stainless steel, 925 sterling silver and 18K gold plated, from a 1.5 mm chain to a 12 mm moissanite Cuban link. Start with the men's necklaces or the men's bracelets; the overview by link and material is in all necklaces and bracelets.
Starting with one piece
Not wearing jewelry yet? Start with a 55 to 60 cm chain in a link you like. It is the least conspicuous starting point, and you will soon notice whether you want more. A king's chain or a Cuban link are the most popular choices for that.
Which link suits which style?
The king's chain is classic and looks as good with a dress shirt as with a T-shirt. The Cuban link is flat and modern and belongs with streetwear. A 2 to 3 mm rope or box chain is the calm base under a pendant. Iced out and tennis are for those who want to catch the light; wear one of those pieces at a time.
All sizes at a glance
Chains run from 45 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in); 50 cm falls just below the collarbone, 55 cm on the top of the breastbone and 60 cm mid-chest. Bracelets run from 16 to 22 cm: measure your wrist just below the wrist bone and add 1.5 to 2 cm. Rings are US sizes 5 to 11, without half sizes; each size adds 0.8 mm in inner diameter. Over the past year, 55 cm was our best-selling chain length and 20 cm our best-selling bracelet size.
Combining without overdoing it
The rule of thumb is one eye-catching piece at a time. If you wear a wide chain, keep the bracelet slimmer. Stick to one color: mixing gold and silver tones only works when you do it deliberately and consistently. A signet ring goes with almost anything, because it sits somewhere else entirely.
Choose a ring in the same color as your watch. Men's earrings come as studs and hoops in 925 sterling silver and solid 14K gold.
Material
Silver-tone stainless steel is bare, polished steel: no layer to wear off, it does not discolor and no tarnish builds up. That makes it the logical choice for something you wear every day, and you can keep it on in the shower. The gold-tone and rose gold-tone models and the stone-set pieces in nickel-free copper alloy have a five-layer PVD finish: harder than ordinary plating, but still a layer, so take those off before the shower and the gym. 925 sterling silver is a real precious metal, heavier and with a deeper shine; it tarnishes slowly and a silver cloth polishes that away. Every model comes off before the pool, because chlorine is harsher than shower water.
Jewelry as a gift for a man
Not sure of his sizes? Choose a 55 cm chain or a 20 cm bracelet: those are the sizes we sell most often, and a chain is never too tight. Which link and width to give is covered in a first piece of jewelry for him. All gift ideas by budget are in gifts for him. Not sure whether he wears gold or silver tones? Look at his watch and choose the same color. Silver-tone steel is the safest choice: it suits almost any watch and needs no upkeep. Want to make it personal? A signet ring or a dog tag with an engraving is the gift that is his alone; we engrave in house, so allow one extra working day. Everything comes in a Carpe Ice jewelry box. For Christmas, the order deadlines and ideas by budget are in our guide to Christmas gifts for men.
