Interest in Men’s Jewelry Is on the Rise!

Decades ago, the fashionable man wore cufflinks, tie bars, rings and carried pocket watches. Somehow over the decades, men’s jewelry sort of dropped out of sight expect for perhaps those large gold chains and a Rolex watch here and there. Today, however, the interest in men’s jewelry is on the rise and here at Peter Suchy Jewelers, we’ll tell you why.

Why Men’s Jewelry Is Popular Again

Hannah Connorton wrote a great article about men’s jewelry for National Jeweler and asked some celebrity stylists and jewelry designers why they think there’s a recent uptrend in men’s jewelry fashions.

One such expert Michael O’Connor says of men’s jewelry, “I think the jewelry category for men is really on the precipice of becoming one of the largest-growing categories over the next 10 to 15 years.” Why the resurgence? Most likely says O’Connor, the resurgence is due to celebrity male influencers like Jay-Z, the Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber and Johnny Depp. These male celebs have shown wearing different types of jewelry and mixing and matching metals and stones is okay for the 

male gender.

O’Connor also says, “Men who are even mildly fashion driven are getting great cues from fashion influences such as celebrities.” The jewelry for men today—and decades ago, has been worn as a sort of status symbol that a man has “made it” and is successful—the Rolex, the pocket watch, the cufflinks, or today’s diamond earrings.

Even men’s watches and cufflinks of today are leaning toward pendants and bracelet styles and metal is also a big influencer.

Platinum is the metal of choice for the trendy man and favorite designers include Oscar Heyman, Alexandra Mor and Scott Kay. With Platinum, O’Connor says, “it can be brushed or blackened to achieve a masculine effect.”
