Diamond Jewellery – It Isn’t Just For Women!
We always hear of fine diamond jewellery being bought for women, but can it be for men too? The answer is yes, male jewellery is becoming much more popular, but you are just going to have to be careful with the specific pieces you choose. Of course, you will not want to have the fine diamond jewellery be too feminine, or your guy will not want to wear it. So you have to use some common sense and get more educated before leaving the house.
Many men are a little hesitant about wearing jewellery. That is particularly true if he does not already wear jewellery, apart from perhaps a watch. Take care when you are planning to introduce him to the idea!
Tips For Buying Jewellery For Your Man
1) One of the best shopping tips if you are looking for fine diamond jewellery for your man the best strategy is to keep it simple. Whereas if you were shopping for a woman, you could go all out with lavish, intricate diamond designs. This is not the case when it comes to buying fine diamond jewellery for a man.
2) You can get him a simple diamond ring for one, which is fine if the diamonds are clustered together. It is best to avoid single diamonds because they will look too girly.
3) Another vital tip to remember if you are shopping for fine diamond jewellery for your man is to shop at the right places. Only by shopping at the right fine jewellery store are you going to be able to make sure that you find the right piece for your guy and get it done at the right price, so you don't have to pay an arm and a leg.
4) You might even take your guy with you if you are trying to buy him fine diamond jewellery. Of course, it is not going to be much of a surprise if you do it this way, but then at least you are not going to have to be nervous, wondering whether or not the piece that you picked out they are going to like.
5) Take them out with you to the fine jewellery store of your choice and tell them they can pick out whatever piece they want, within your budget, of course. If you take this route, make sure that you have set a budget before hitting the online jewellery sites or high street retailers.
6) If you are worried about how he might react to the idea of you buying him jewellery as a gift, perhaps do your shopping online? That way, there is no sales pressure or need to worry about how he might feel in a jewellery store. When you shop online, there is nobody else, just you and him. Best of all, there is a much wider choice when buying online. No matter who you or he thinks about it, any high street retailer will have only a limited range from which to consider and choose.
7) Consider his body type. If your guy is a real ‘manly man’ he probably will not appreciate a lightweight pendant or delicate ring. When you are looking for ideas, think carefully about his persona and select only items that are a close match for his image.
8) Gemstones might not be right for him. If he works in a field where there is a lot of physical labour or works with his hands, then a diamond ring or a watch encrusted in gems might not be good choices. Look out for jewellery that can withstand the kind of activities that he will be getting into. I have worn a gold wrist chain for many years that resists almost anything – it looks scratched and dinged these days, but that adds to its charm!
9) A good starting point for male jewellery is a simple precious metal chain necklace. A well-made chain with proportions that suit him can be an excellent introduction to male jewellery. A chain can make a man look more stylish and sophisticated. Perhaps a chain bracelet can serve the same purpose – maybe a matching set would go down well?
10) You do not need to be an expert to buy jewellery that your man will love. The most important tip is to have an idea of what you want to buy before you start shopping. This applies even if you are planning to buy together. The chances are that is precisely what you guy will have done before buying anything for you!
Male Jewellery - Male Style
Whatever you do, try not to impose your style on him. Your favourite jewellery is always something that suits your style. The same applies to men and jewellery. If he is not used to wearing jewellery, help him get in the habit by suggesting, or choosing, a piece that he will want to wear all the time and not just to please you. Do not force him out of his comfort zone, at least not just yet. Let him get comfortable with the idea and then grow the habit with more gifts in the future.
Men buy women jewellery all the time, why not buy it right back for them? Jewellery may not be something that all men are interested in, but this could be a great gift idea for today and the years to come. If your guy is open and enjoys taking care of himself and wearing some jewellery, this may be the ideal thing to get him for his birthday or Christmas.
