Jewelry has once again become popular among men all over the world. Men have started experimenting with things like rings, bracelets and necklaces. Even those working in big companies have started wearing some kind of jewelery to stand out from the rest.
AAnd if you’re considering buying some jewelry, be sure to keep these ten things in mind.
-
Understand What You Want
Have a clear idea of what you want when you visit a jewelery store. Are you looking for a necklace, bracelet or ring? If you are looking for a necklace, do you prefer thick or thin? If you choose a thick necklace, what metal should it be?
You should have the answers to all of these questions when considering buying jewelry. This will allow you to choose the right one that interests you the most. Otherwise, you may end up choosing a jewelery item on a hunch, only to find out later that you are not comfortable wearing it.
-
Jewelery Size
Consider the size of the jewelry you want to wear. This will depend on the type of occasion you will be wearing the jewelry for. If you’re going to be wearing the item mostly to parties, then a big ring or a long, chunky necklace might give you the edgy look you’re looking for.
However, these items may not be worn during company meetings. On the other hand, things like a properly sized platinum ring will give you the classy look you need to stand out at the event.
-
Jewelry Metal
You also need to know what kind of metal you will be wearing. While some men will be fine with gold jewelry, some will find it too shiny and pretentious. In contrast, platinum jewelry has a quiet class.
Plus, if you’re going to have gemstones in your jewelry, then you need to make sure they match the metal. If stone overpowers metal or vice versa, jewelry will not produce the desired effect on humans.
-
Metal Purity
If you buy a metal like gold, its purity must also be considered. The traditional measurement for gold purity is the karat, where 24 karat represents the purest form of gold which contains no additions to it. The 18-karat gold label indicates that another metal has been added to it.
The purity of gold is also expressed in decimal form. In such a scenario, a number such as 0.850 would indicate that the gold is 85% pure. Values over 0.999 are essentially 24-karat gold.
-
Seller Quality
Be sure to check the seller’s reputation and quality. If you shop for the Cuban Link Chain, see if many people buy the chain from the seller or not. If so, are they satisfied or have any complaints?
Check the reviews and make sure most of the buyers are positive about the experience. Double-check negative results to make sure that they don’t speak of a jewelery quality issue but just a minor service issue.
-
Ring
Rings are something that most men wear when they get married. Because of this, they are generally never inclined to have a relationship with the feminine. In addition, people in power also tend to wear rings that are too big.
The Pope wears a ring. Many tend to wear oversized rings with intricate carvings. So, if you are someone who holds a fairly authoritative position, a large ring can build your image.
-
Do not exaggerate
You shouldn’t buy too much jewelry if you plan on wearing it all. Only some items make you look classy or cool and only use them when going out. Too much jewelery on men can make them a laughing stock among people.
So, until and unless you’re a rapper or something, don’t go overboard with jewelry. Wear two or three pieces of classy jewelry, and you’re sure to make a solid impression among people. Updated on the latest trend of wearing jewelry for men, and be sure to follow suit.

Bracelet
One of the most popular jewelery choices among men is the bracelet. It is usually one of the few items associated with virility, especially if the bracelet is rugged with strong markings. You can also buy two or three bracelets and stack them to create a unique look.
However, when using multiple metals, make sure they all match one another. Sometimes, a gold bracelet paired with a platinum bracelet may not look so good. Thus, buying it may be a waste of investment as you may decide not to wear it.
-
Subang
This is one of the most difficult pieces of jewelery for men to wear. This is because earrings are usually associated with femininity nowadays. However, historically this has not been the case. In ancient Egypt and India, kings and nobles used to wear earrings as a sign of status.
Earrings also tend to attract too much attention. If you have a strong, well-defined jawline, wearing earrings can give you that extra intensity.
-
Fashion style
How you dress is also an important consideration when buying jewelry. If you usually design casually, you can try some of the more ‘risky’ styles that people tend to avoid. Examples include long nose rings, nail jewelry, etc.
With the right attitude, you may be able to wear such jewelery to great effect. Conversely, if you wear formal clothes most of the day when you meet people, then you should still use traditional men’s jewelry such as bracelets, rings, and so on.
