Jewels & Watches: 15 Statement Pieces for Men

22 May 2024

In recent years the variety of men’s accessories has increased significantly, offering a wide range of options for any taste and style. In the new edition of our curated “Jewels & Watches” column, we delve into the world of statement pieces for men, exploring bold and distinctive designs that redefine the traditional notions of masculine adornment.

Ringstones

Due to the moss-grown stereotypes, rings other than wedding bands are not usually the first choice for most men. But, as you are reading this article, we assume that you are willing to venture.

If you are new to this accessory, try to keep it clean in the beginning — for example, with geometrical silhouettes, minimalistic designs, and muted hues that would complement all of your outfits.

Bracelets

With bracelets, on the other hand, you can immediately go further. Forget about thin silver chains around your wrist — be ironic and explore the variety of colors and materials. Slim leather straps with shaped closures or stone beads — just have fun, and let them show your character!

Necklaces

The best way to stand out while choosing your necklace is to be unconventional.

Want a simple chain? Put on a funny pedant that is not supposed to be there or even an actual object that is meaningful to you. Go away from typical silver-toned metals to tone things down when opting for brutal spear links and, on the opposite, rusticate the gentle chockers with natural gems.

Watches

With watches, it is either all in or all out. Go for a timeless model that you’ll wear for years and then pass on to your grandchildren or start a collection of unique timepieces. There is no wrong choice.

Cufflinks

With classical outfits and corporate dress codes, jewellery might be quite tricky, but fear not! Cufflinks of all possible colors, shapes, and mediums are there to serve your self-expression. Witty corn or even fully functioning watches? Each does what it can.
