Women wear all different types of jewelry, from elegant pieces to large statement pieces. Most men wear jewelry much more sparingly and often want more simple styles. Whether you are a man looking for a few pieces for yourself or someone looking for a gift, consider the following simple styles.

Necklace 

 Many men will wear a necklace either under their shirts or on top of it. A simple gold chain can provide a reasonable look that adds something extra to your look. The necklace should not be too thin or short because you do not want it to look like a female piece. Of course if it is too large, you might produce an image you do not like. Go to the store to try on the different necklaces to see what works best for you. You might want plain gold or you can get silver or a different metal. 

Some men choose to wear a pendant on a chain. One common, simple and stylish pendant for men is a religious symbol such as a cross or a Star of David. You might want a unique, modern and yet still simple shape such as the Maison Martin Margiela, suggests GQ Magazine. Also, make certain that you get a pendant that is meant for a male.

Rings

 

Many men wear rings, thus this is one piece that even a man who avoids most jewelry may choose. Of course, a wedding ring is common for married men. A lot of men wear class rings from high school or college. Men may also choose a ring that signifies a sports team or the sport in general. 

There are many different bands than men can wear. You can look for something in gold, silver or stainless steel. The ring should be wide and thick compared to a woman’s ring.

Bracelet 

 

A man might want to wear a simple bracelet. It can just be a silver or gold chain around the wrist to compliment the hand on which he wears his watch or the other hand. Most men choose to just wear one bracelet at a time. 

There is no one right piece of jewelry for every man. You should consider the look you want as well as what would go with your image. Also consider where you are wearing the jewelry. Do not wear all of your pieces at once. With the right styling, jewelry can add a lot to a man’s look.
