Men's Ring & Pinky Ring Collection - Gentleman's Gazette

About this video

The Gazette team explores men’s rings as a classic jewelry option, sharing their personal collection of vintage and antique rings acquired from flea markets, antique shows, and vintage stores. They discuss the history of men’s rings in menswear, explain their approach to building a curated collection across various stones and metals, and share acquisition costs ranging from inexpensive pieces to higher-value vintage finds. The team also discusses their consideration of creating a custom ring program to make classic gentleman’s rings more accessible.

• The Gazette team argues that rings are an elegant way for men to add jewelry beyond wedding bands, cufflinks, and collar pins, with historical precedent in vintage menswear photography and classic films.
• The Gazette team recommends sourcing vintage and antique rings from flea markets, antique shows, and vintage platforms rather than modern jewelers, as they find better design alignment with traditional menswear aesthetics.
• The Gazette team suggests building a ring collection with varied stones and metals to coordinate with different outfits, and notes that hand resizing vintage rings is often necessary and worth the investment.
