A Guide to Buying Jewellery for Him
Buying jewellery for the man in your life can be a difficult task. When it comes to jewellery, men are notoriously hard to pin down. Some like bold, maximalist styles whilst others like to keep things minimal.
So, to help with this process, we've put together the complete guide to buying luxury jewellery for men this Christmas.
WHAT'S HIS STYLE?
The first thing to consider when buying jewellery for him is his personal style.
Traditionally, men's jewellery style played it safe: at a push, men would wear plain rings and subtle chains. However, in recent years there's been a sea change. Whether it's the bright, dopamine-fueled gemstone looks of Harry Styles or the classic chains sported by Brad Pitt, celebrities are showing that men's jewellery is more versatile than ever.
Like every aspect of fashion, men's jewellery is influenced by various eras, trends and traditions. So, no matter what his style is, there's a jewellery piece out there for him.
LOWKEY & CLASSIC
If he likes to keep things minimal and classic, you can't go wrong with a tungsten band. Durable, lightweight and with a brushed finish, this Men's Double Groove Brushed Finish 8mm Ring conveys stylish sophistication.
If he's new to jewellery and a ring feels like a risk, perhaps choose some cufflinks. An essential piece of every man's wardrobe, cufflinks will add a subtle statement to his outfit. At Ruby & Oscar, we have a wide selection of cufflinks. Modern and sleek, for a cufflink set that says ‘classic' choose these Men's Brushed Finish Rubber Cufflinks in Stainless Steel.
CLASSIC STYLES
BOLD & MAXIMALIST
If he likes to push the boat out with his style, why not get him a gemstone pendant necklace? Our Men's Garnet Orbit Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver is the perfect way to inject colour into that well-worn outfit. Featuring a high-clarity garnet gemstone, this piece will catch the eye with its colourful hues.
If he's looking to elevate his ring collection and wants to make a statement, try this Thomas Sabo Rebel at Heart Black Cubic Zirconia Crown Ring. Featuring an array of black cubic zirconia gemstones and intricate detailing, this piece will instantly elevate his ring stack.
BOLD & STATEMENT STYLES
More than an accessory, complete his look with a bracelet.
From classic link styles in stainless steel, braided leather BOSS bracelets to tiger's eye and lava bead designs - there's a style to suit every aesthetic.
CHAINS
Chains are a jewellery classic that conveys a sense of opulence, style and a taste for the finer things in life, without coming across as formal. Versatile, chains can be worn above a jumper or t-shirt, effortlessly adding an edge.
For a piece that says ‘timeless', choose this Men's 20 Inch Belcher Chain Necklace in Stainless Steel. The belcher link chain is an iconic design that has existed for hundreds of years.
For a more modern interpretation of the link chain, perhaps choose a Men's 20 Inch Flat Link Chain Necklace in Stainless Steel. A striking statement, this chain combines a sleek design with a bright, polished finish.
