The idea of “men’s jewelry” has always been at the back-burner of the fashion realm largely due to a lack of variety of products in the market. For decades, men’s jewelry, with the exception of wedding bands and watches, have been limited and uninspiring.
However, thanks to the emergence of high-end men’s jewelry designers and its popularity amongst celebrities, the men’s jewelry market has been booming. Some of the biggest trends in men’s jewelry include rings, necklaces with pendants, and earrings.
Men’s Rings
Men’s rings (not including wedding bands) are quickly becoming a popular choice amongst fashionable men. Many attribute this popularity to Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci. He has used rings on many of his male models during runway shows and in print.
Many male celebrities like Harry Styles pair simple yellow or white gold bands with vibrant gemstones and extravagant designs. Popular color gemstones in men’s rings are rubies, blue sapphires, and emeralds.

Men’s Necklaces
While chain necklaces have been a staple in men’s jewelry for years, many men are choosing to explore other styles of necklaces. Simple gold, silver, or platinum pendants paired with a thin chain have become very popular, a muted piece that makes a very subtle statement.
For a more luxurious look, pairing a thin chain with a color gemstone in a simple setting can upscale and enhance any outfit. Celebrities like Shawn Mendes who has worn emerald pendants at many red-carpet events have really helped popularize these necklaces amongst the millennials and Gen Z.
Men’s Earrings
More and more men are getting their ears pierced than ever before. The most popular style of earrings for men are simple studs. However, some men are opting for a dangling look as well. While in past decades most men with piercings only had it on one ear, many today are piercing both. Earrings add character to men’s appearance and make them appear attractive to the opposite gender. While most men prefer stud earrings, hoops and dangle earrings are also getting popular and playing their roles to make men more appealing.
