Men's Jewelry: All About Rings, Chains, & More Accessories

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive overview of men’s jewelry, tracing its history from ancient times through the present day and covering the most common types worn today. They discuss both functional jewelry items like cufflinks and tie retainers, and purely ornamental pieces like rings and necklaces, offering guidance on how to incorporate these accessories into classic menswear ensembles.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that men’s jewelry has a long historical precedent across cultures and centuries, and that wearing jewelry should not be dictated by modern gender norms or societal assumptions
• The Gazette team categorizes men’s jewelry into functional pieces (cufflinks, tie bars, collar retainers, shirt studs) and ornamental pieces (rings, lapel pins, necklaces, bracelets, earrings)
• The Gazette team recommends emphasizing quality over quantity, selecting jewelry appropriate to the occasion, and choosing pieces that look good on you rather than dressing to impress others
