Not Your Dad’s Jewelry: How New Designs in Men’s Jewelry Are Redefining Contemporary Style

Jewelry options for men have traditionally been limited to gold chains, watches, or a band style ring. But today’s men’s jewelry includes a much more diverse variety of bracelets, chains, and necklaces and more. Phillip Gavriel offers men's jewelry with contemporary designs to provide fashionable, high-quality pieces. Here is more information about how new designs in men’s jewelry are redefining contemporary style:

Mixed-Metal Designs

If you aren’t sure if you are a silver or gold person, Mixed-metal mens jewelry combines sterling silver with yellow gold to offer visual contrast and the best of both worlds. These contemporary designs offer adaptable pieces, as the combination of cool and warm tones works well for both formal and casual occasions. Phillip Gavriel uses sterling silver and 18K gold in our mixed-metal jewelry. Grooved textures or geometric patterns for mixed-metal bracelets break up the appearance of solid metal for visual interest. Mixed-metal designs include cuff styles, such as our Silver & 18K Gold Cable Cuff Bracelet, and cable links,   like our Silver & 18K Men's Cable Link Bar Bracelet. The gold we use is always real and never just a plating. 

Silver & 18K Gold Cable Cuff Bracelet

Mixed-metal designs offer a fresh look for cuff links, a traditional men’s accessory. These designs include our Silver & 18K Gold Oval Cufflinks and Silver & 18K Gold Cable Bar Cufflinks. Both feature twisted cable elements and offer a simple yet sophisticated look for business dinners, presentations, and weddings. Remember these will only work with a french cuff shirt so plan accordingly! 

Leather and Gemstone Bracelets

Leather and gemstone bracelets offer an earthy, rugged tone for your ensemble and pair well with   more casual clothing. Combining leather with silver elements, such as a silver woven bar, twisted cables, or a buckle, creates a sophisticated piece that you can wear in casual settings or even as part of professional or formal attire for contrast. The Silver & Blue Leather Men's Box Link Bracelet provides a modern, yet understated design. Our leather color options are: 

  • Black

  • Blue

  • Brown 

This allows you to coordinate your accessories with the colors you wear most often. Gemstone bracelets also add a pop of color and allow you to express your personality. We only use natural gemstones in our jewelry, including tiger’s eye, green agate, onyx, and lapis.

Chain Links and Pendants

Chain necklaces elevate simple outfits and can be used as accessories for more formal occasions. The Silver Cable Mariner Chain Necklace features double silver links and double twisted links for contrast, creating a statement piece to wear with a simple black turtleneck or T-shirt. For formalwear, wear a short, subtle chain under your shirt collar so it adds a refined hint of texture without drawing too much attention.

Gemstone tag pendants offer a modern, luxurious version of the traditional dog tag necklace. This includes the understated design of the Silver & 18K Gold Black Spinel Tag Necklace and the bold look of the Silver & Malachite Men's Tag Necklace. The simple rectangular shape of the pendant lends the necklace a traditionally masculine edge, while the gemstones add a contemporary feel.
