If you are planning to attend a special event, you'll certainly consider some great clothing. But today, many men are opting to take their new look to a new level by accessorizing with some great jewelry. Phillip Gavriel offers a great selection of pieces that are perfect for complementing your outfit, suitable for both special occasions and everyday wear. Here are a few tips to help you:
Coordinating Rings With Formalwear
Since your hand will be one of the most visible areas of your body when you are fully clothed, you might want to consider a ring. Depending on your outfit and personal style, you may want more than one ring, but be careful not to overdo it, unless you are going for the Liberace look! Take inspiration from the tones of your outfit, so if you are wearing black, a silver ring with black onyx or black sapphire might be a great option. If your piece has blue in it, lapis might be a better option. Look for a variety of designs in our men's jewelry collections. If you are looking for a standalone statement ring, our Silver & Onyx Octagon Signet Ring pairs well with both casual and formal outfits, offering a refined look. Sometimes less is more when it comes to accessories.
Choosing the Right Bracelet
For most Men, a bracelet is the easiest way to accessorize. Bracelets are generally easy to wear and layer. For special occasions, look for pieces with higher shine content that catch the light. Our Silver Octagon Grooved Link Bracelet fits this requirement perfectly, as the polished links help reflect and enhance shine. This piece can be worn with a tux or with your everyday attire.
Elevating the Look With Necklaces
Necklaces may be less common in formal menswear, but when worn with intention, they can enhance your look. A slim chain worn beneath a shirt adds depth without overwhelming the neckline. Make sure the length of the necklace is appropriately considered. If it is too long, it won't be visible. If you are wearing a closed shirt and tie, a necklace may not be the best choice.
If you choose to wear a pendant, use one that is modest in size and matches the tones of other accessories. Our Silver & 18K Gold Black Spinel Tag Necklace combines mixed metals with black gemstones. Silver chains tend to offer versatility, pairing well with both dark and neutral palettes. Gold works well when it serves as a subtle accent and stands alone, simply framing your neck without much distraction.
Layering With Balance
The goal of layering jewelry with other accessories is about balance, not quantity. Spreading accessories between hands helps maintain symmetry; a bracelet on one wrist and a ring on the opposite hand provides a natural distribution. If you wear cufflinks, such as our Gemstone Cable Cufflinks with black onyx, be considerate of wearing bracelets, as the French cuff may hinder their visibility.
