The world of men's jewelry is a vast, glimmering space. There are accessories of all shapes and styles and sizes, really; silver and gold and white gold and rose gold and brass. Plated or pearly, sterling or studded. Earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets that'll have you iced out in any way you want, really; something subtle and elegant, or something shiny and flashy. Oh, where to even begin navigating the men's jewelry world?
Well—right here, actually. Let's start with some brands that are shaping the game when it comes to jewelry for men, whether you like to keep things simple or go bold.
