\"mensTrends in Men’s Jewelry<\/h2>\n

For years, men\u2019s jewelry was relegated to the \u201cclassic trio\u201d of wedding rings, watches and cufflinks. These items are still essential staples for a man\u2019s jewelry collection, but there are new trends in men\u2019s jewelry to look for while shopping for the perfect gift or self-splurge this year.<\/p>\n

From vintage, gem-studded brooches by Alexander McQueen, to long earrings by Louis Vuitton, from surf beads by Yves Saint Laurent, to leather strap bangles by Salvatore Ferragamo \u2013 the list of trend-setting designers on board with the male jewelry surge is truly endless.<\/p>\n

The classic wristwatch<\/h2>\n

Stylist Barron Cuadro once said: \u201cMen really only need one item of jewelry \u2013 the wristwatch. Everything else is non-essential.\u201d Similarly, Jeweller Magazine <\/em>contends that \u201ca watch is the ultimate statement maker \u2013 a glimpse into the wearer\u2019s character and style.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

A Rolex is \u201cthe Cadillac\u201d of the watch world \u2013 that one status symbol every man yearns to achieve. A good top-of-the-line Rolex will never lose its value over the years, as the market for pre-loved Rolex watches is very strong. If you are looking to really impress someone, the Rolex still does the trick.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, masculine, \u201cindustrial\u201d designs capture the eye of male jewelry shoppers these days. Men are largely going for more slim, classic watches than they were five years ago \u2013 perhaps due to the rise of other types of men\u2019s fine jewelry<\/a>. It\u2019s acceptable to have a big, bold watch if that\u2019s all you\u2019re wearing, but you might want something more minimalist if you\u2019ve got a cocktail ring or beard jewelry too. Examples of clean, simple watches at more modest price points can be found in Oozoo, Christian Paul, Daniel Wellington and MVMT Watches.<\/p>\n

Cufflinks<\/h2>\n

Cufflinks have been on the upswing for the last decade, as more and more men are attaining careers that require suits. Silver cufflinks are still the most popular, but they can be made of wood, metal or glass. Some of the more offbeat materials include fossilized mammoth ivory, Damascus steel, and elk antler.<\/p>\n

They also come in a wide variety of odd shapes. To up your cufflinks game, you can try matching the stones from your rings with the stones in your cufflinks. Due to their subtle positioning, men can be more adventurous in their selection of cufflinks, without causing a fashion train wreck. You\u2019ll find everything from standard monograms, zodiac symbols and birthstone gems, to Game of Thrones inspired pieces, trapezoid-shaped cuffs, and textured gold pangolins.<\/p>\n

Alt-metal chains<\/h2>\n

Younger guys still love the simplicity and the regality of a men’s high-end gold chain<\/a>, which pairs nicely with a suit or a t-shirt and jeans. Yet, more and more, men say they \u201cdon\u2019t want anything too vulgar.\u201d If you\u2019re not looking to spend more than $1,000, other trending materials to look for include silver, stainless steel, titanium and tungsten rings. These materials are very versatile and go with a host of clothing styles, suitable for all occasions.<\/p>\n

Layered leather wristbands<\/h2>\n

Casual braided leather cuffs are flying off the shelves now. They can be simple and black or a more \u201cearthy\u201d brown with Bohemian bead accents. Stainless steel ID tags and anchors are popular \u201ccharms\u201d on a man\u2019s leather or rope cuff. The style is best suited by going monochromatic for a cohesive, put-together look.<\/p>\n

The Trendspotter <\/em>notes: \u201cBlack, darker brown, deep burgundies and dim emeralds work the best. Thinner leather bracelets are the easiest most versatile pieces to work with, and look great when teamed with watches. While leather bracelets work well by themselves, try mixing with other bracelets like beaded ones for a textured approach to your wrist wear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big, bold statement rings<\/h2>\n

During the 16th<\/span>\u00a0Century, big rings were viewed as a statement of power, wealth and prestige. It wasn\u2019t until the latter part of the 20th<\/span> Century that the size of rings were trending more modest. These days, big and bold is back in vogue again, as men begin to accessorize beyond the traditional wedding band, into statement cocktail rings designed by GUCCI. Men’s jewel-studded rings<\/a> are being lauded as \u201cGranny-chic.\u201d They\u2019re appearing above the knuckles of men on the catwalk from Milan to New York.<\/p>\n
