We’ve entered an interesting era, a men’s jewelry renaissance if you will. More men than ever are donning accessories, and with unabashed confidence to boot: pearl necklaces, rugged rings, dangly bracelets and earrings aplenty. Jewelry for men, in my opinion, has never been too taboo, but there have been, like conspiracy theories and alien tales, untrue tales about how, when and where you should wear your chosen accessories floating around the Internet.

I’m here to debunk nearly every single one — save for the bit about wedding bands. They should always go on your left ring finger. Otherwise, the category’s wide open and ripe for riffs and experimentation. Experiment away, I say. Shop the best bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings below.

The Best Jewelry for Men

Lone Flag uses turquoise to offset sterling silver, producing in a peace sign in the process. It’s a splash of color and a reminder to stay positive — for you and anyone that sees it.

Made from sterling silver and coated with 24ct gold vermeil, Dear Letterman’s Ayman Ring looks antique and entirely unique. It’s been hammered for a weathered look, but it’ll last like it’s brand new (because it is).

All of Studebaker Metals’ accessories are handmade in Pittsburgh by a small team of metalsmithers. Their work is evident on every item, manifesting as marks where tools carved its shape. The brand’s Signet Ring is cast and carved from sterling silver, promising a soft polished look and plenty of longevity.

Southern charm. (Get it?) Studs’ dangly boot is made from silver-plated brass and proves OK for sensitive skin.

Despite the name, yes, this is a complete earring. But, you only get one of these 18ct gold-plated earrings.

With a diameter of 1 cm, First Arrow’s vintage-tinged SVFA Mark Catch Earring won’t take up too much space on your lobe. Plus, it comes in a set of two.

Oversized baton and ring closure aside, Elhanati’s X Nude necklace is a pretty simple, straightforward design. Wear it with anything; other gold or silver accessories included.

There are ways to wear a dog tag without being flagged for stolen valor. Martine Ali’s delicate Jax Tag Drop Chain, for example, trades the hefty construction of something military adjacent with gentler, more refined elements.

Miansai makes a number of affordable pieces for men. Among them is the Lennox Pendant Necklace, comprising of a gold chain and green enamel in a gold frame.

Another simple option, LHN’s collab with Knickerbocker resulted in a silver chain bracelet with another classic hook closure clasp.

Craighill’s entry-level Radial Cuff is made from precision-machined brass for a clean, kind of perfect look.

Pearls are super in. From celebs and singers to athletes and models, they’ve graced the necks of a ton of stylish people over the past year. A pearl bracelet is more subtle but still polished.
