Considering the way many men feel about shopping, let alone shopping for
jewelry for themselves, one can understand why many men choose simply
not to wear jewelry. This is a sad reality. This article will give men a
look at purchasing jewelry for themselves that will eliminate the
mystery involved.
The first things to determine is exactly what type of pieces are you
looking for. When it comes to making a jewelry purchase are you looking
for something that is classic and can be worn to work all the time or
are you looking for some fun, funky styled jewelry that may be worn when
you are going out on the town. Narrowing down the jewelry purpose will
also help you narrow down exactly what you are looking for.
Nice jewelry to be worn for business, church or dinners out for men can
include a simple chain necklace, a classic watch or a bracelet. Nothing
over the top but something simple and classic in one tone should do the
job for these types of events. However if you are looking to make a
statement with your jewelry and are a man looking for pieces to
accentuate the edge metro sexual style you are trying for try a layered
look with bracelets and necklaces of different materials. Simple metals
might not do. Check into rope, hemp materials and leather. Consider
simple solid metal rings worn on a thumb. This look creates funky, fun
styles that appeal usually to younger men or men that are a bit trendier
and have an aura of edge.
It can help if you know a bit of information when it comes to jewelry as
well. Color is something that was mentioned above. Jewelry comes in a
variety of metals and materials. The silver look can be achieved using a
variety of metals that range in price: titanium, platinum, white gold
and sterling silver. When looking into the gold tones you can choose
between gold in a variety of carats, copper and bronze.
It is also important to use terms when it comes to the jeweler’s size
and proportions when it comes to choosing something for men. Men should
say what they want if the piece is to be bold a slender link is not
going to work. Use good descriptive words to express to the jeweler what
you want to achieve. For instance if you are purchasing a set of
cufflinks you can’t expect the jeweler to know what you are looking for
if you go in and say that you are looking for cufflinks that aren’t
overly showy. Explain to the jeweler what this means to you. Showy to
one person is drab to another.
Men’s jewelry comes in a variety of price points just as ladies jewelry.
Be upfront when looking for a piece. The jeweler might sway you towards
something costly when in actuality you are looking for more of a
costume piece. Being upfront with your budget will help the jeweler stay
within your price point when giving you options to achieve the look you
desire with your men’s jewelry purchase.
