Men’s jewelry is uncharted territory for a lot of guys.
In the past, we’ve done dedicated rundowns for the best men’s bracelets and best men’s signet rings, and we opted for handsome pieces any guy could pull-off. Consider this article a one-stop-shop for all your jewelry essentials. To set you on the right track, we’re going to break down the best jewelry for men, covering everything from:
- Chain necklace for men
- Best statement rings for men
- More of our favorite bracelets for men
- Cufflinks for men
- Best ring sets for men
Yep, it’s all here, and we’ve even thrown in the best shark tooth necklace for men just because. But slow down, cowboy. You’re not going to want to wear every type of jewelry all at once. Unless you’re Harry Styles, wearing multiples necklaces, bracelets and rings all together will be a bit too much. And, if you are Harry Styles, give us a call, man.
When venturing beyond the classic men’s watch and into the exciting world of men’s jewelry, it’s best to remember that simplicity is key. Even if you’re wearing more of a statement piece, less is still more. However, the most important rule of thumb when it comes to wearing some of the best jewelry for men is to keep in mind that no matter the piece of jewelry, you have to wear it with confidence. Follow that motto, and you’ll be able to pull off anything.
