Let’s explore the different men’s necklaces and see which one was made for you!
Men’s chains are a classic- and a classic for a reason! They’re simple, suit most necks, and they’re versatile. You can wear a chain for a sleek look or accessories with one to make your outfit more bold. If you’re starting your jewelry journey and you want to dip your toe in the water- a chain is the way to go!
Pendants are more of a bold necklace accessory and here’s why. Men’s pendants come with a flair- whether it be a diamond or gemstone. If you or the person you’d like to gift loves to stand out in the crowd, a pendant may be the way to go here.
For the manly man, we suggest a dog tag. Kidding! Any man looks good in a dog tag and this accessory is great for more of a personalized look. Dog tags come in just about any metal option and can be simple, carved, or even two-toned! They’re super fun and look good with layered necklace looks, too.
What’s a statement necklace? Well, maybe you’re the type of guy who likes to wear what no one else is wearing. If so, you’re looking for the kind of necklace that makes your outfit pop and has everyone asking you where you got it from. This type of necklace can simply be one with an intricate style or even an uncommon metal shade for necklaces like rose gold. Don’t be afraid to explore and push the boundaries of your style.
The most common necklace metals are gold, platinum, and silver. Some are certainly more durable than others, but all are perfect for men’s necklaces.
Gold necklaces can come in different gold shades. White, yellow, and rose gold. Yellow gold necklaces have been the common pick for decades as the metal looks good on most skin tones. However, as men enjoy more freedom with their style- we have started to see an upward trend of other gold shades for men’s necklaces. Gold certainly requires less maintenance than silver and is the pricier investment for a reason.
The perfect metal to start with is silver. If you’re trying to see if men’s necklaces are for you but you don’t want to break the bank, go with silver. White metals like silver usually suit cool and neutral skin tones more.
Silver necklaces for men can be maintained with regular cleanings and proper care- like not showering with it on or taking your necklace off while exercising.
