Buying jewellery for men is often difficult – this is because in most western cultures, the only acceptable items of jewellery for a man are his watch, wedding ring and cufflinks. However, growing trends in the fashion industry have led to the return of some jewellery items that today’s men find acceptable – one of these is the bracelet.
Jewellers understand that a man is more likely to wear his bracelet while doing active sports, DIY tasks around the home and physical labour than a woman would be, and as such bracelets for men tend to be more chunky than those designed for women. Bracelets for men come in a variety of materials, from precious metals such as gold and silver to natural materials like leather and even rubber.
Because men have larger wrists, men's bracelets are often more expensive than bracelets for women – this is because the jeweller has to use more materials to create a piece to fit a man. Particularly where the bracelet is enhanced with gemstones or made from precious metal, the size of the man’s wrist can increase the cost of the bracelet dramatically.
Finding a bracelet for a man is relatively easy online – there are a growing number of jewellers who specialise in crafting distinguished pieces of durable jewellery for the fashion-conscious man. You should get an accurate measurement of the bloke’s wrist so that your jeweller can offer you a selection of items in the right size. Also try to consider the type of activities that the man is likely to engage in, you wouldn’t want to get him something that might catch on a piece of equipment at work. Once you decide which bracelet is right, be sure to discuss the shop’s return policy, just in case.
