What’s the Best Jewelry for Men?

Going from a symbol of extreme wealth to a controversial accessory, men’s jewelry has a long, complex history. Today, there’s no limitation on the jewelry men can wear, but with so many options to choose from, finding the best pieces to augment or kickstart your collection can be a challenge.

To help you cultivate pieces you’ll cherish, we go over all of the men’s jewelry basics you need to know.

Must-Have Men’s Pieces

Every man’s accessory arsenal needs these jewelry cornerstones.

Watches

Functional yet decorative, a watch is many people’s entry point into the exciting world of men’s jewelry. They serve a practical purpose while communicating timeless elegance, making them the perfect companion for any modern man.

Rings

Rings have been a centerpiece in men’s jewelry for ages, and they’re still an essential part of any stylish man’s wardrobe. You can find them in just about any form, from classic wedding bands to statement fashion styles.

Necklaces

A thoughtfully designed necklace adds depth and intrigue to any look. To amp up the elegance while staying casual, drape a luxury dog tag necklace over a simple shirt or sweater, or let a simple chain peak through your shirt collar.

Cufflinks

While they may not be part of your everyday collection, cufflinks remain an iconic piece of men’s jewelry. They exude style and class, and with so many designs available, they make it easy to add your unique personality to business and formal wear.

Stones and Metals for Every Style

You can find jewelry in just about any material, but here are some of the best for men’s collections.

The Classics

Yellow and white gold can be found across the world of men’s jewelry, and for good reason. No matter the shade, gold has a tradition of opulance that has attracted jewelry lovers for centuries. When it comes to gemstones, the prestigious and timeless white diamond gives any men’s piece an unmatched glow.

The Bold

Durable, pure, and extremely rare, platinum has a distinct natural white color that truly makes a statement. Darker in color but equal in impact, lapis lazuli, black onyx, black jade, and blue sapphire instantly add richness and depth to even the most minimalist designs.

The Unexpected

At Coffin & Trout, we’re all about creating pieces that are as unique as the man wearing them, which is why much of our collection features metals and stones that you don’t often find in men’s jewelry, including rose gold, orange diamond, multi-colored tourmaline, and meteorite.

A Men’s Jewelry Renaissance

For years, men’s jewelry was limited to simple (and let’s face it, boring) designs. But now, the definition of “masculine” jewelry continues to evolve and expand. In addition to sleek modern styles, men can find a level of embellishment traditionally reserved for women’s jewelry. Whatever your style, we’re here to help you find a piece you love.
