From Bulgari gold cuffs to David Yurman pendants, these jewellery brands bring style and substance to men’s fashion jewellery. Gone are the days when men’s jewellery was limited to wedding bands, cufflinks, and sports watches. Today, the market is replete with everything from meteorite rings to Bitcoin-themed gold pendants, and there is something to cater to every man’s taste. Whether you’re looking for a valuable piece that will be passed down to your children, or a thoughtful gift for your husband, son, or friend, these eight jewellery makers offer style without compromising on quality.
David Yurman
David Yurman is a New York jewellery brand founded by husband and wife duo David and Sybil Yurman. David learned to weld as a teenager and apprenticed under the modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz throughout the sixties, so excellent craftsmanship is at the core of this fashionable brand. The men’s jewellery line is designed by David and his son, Evan, and has everything from titanium meteorite rings to detailed solid gold cuffs. There are also some niche, bold pieces in the collection, such as a Bitcoin-themed gold pendant, and a black diamond and ruby skull necklace. This American brand delivers internationally and has boutiques in more than 350 global locations.
Marco Dal Maso
Jewellery designer Marco Dal Maso travelled the world before launching his eponymous jewellery line in 2011. Perfect as a special gift item, all pieces are handmade in Italy’s renowned jewellery-making district, Vicenza, drawing inspiration from Dal Maso’s travels. The brand is particularly favoured for its leather-based jewellery. Here you can find thick, braided leather wrap bracelets with black diamond accents, and slim 5mm leather cuffs that come in a range of colours.
Leather aside, this Italian jewellery maker retails a range of 18-carat gold options, such as black enamel signet rings and geometric gold pendants. Marco Dal Maso jewellery is stocked in dozens of cities around the world and they deliver internationally from the Italy head office.
Shaun Leane
For truly eccentric and unique men’s jewellery, Shaun Leane is the brand to browse. This British designer is known for crafting outlandish avant-garde pieces for luxury fashion houses like Alexander McQueen and Givenchy and has won the UK Jewellery Designer of the Year award four times. Trained in metalwork and sculpture, Shaun Leane began designing for the British royal family at the tender age of 18, and he recently designed Princess Beatrice’s engagement and wedding rings.
Men’s jewellery at this luxury designer house includes black pearl rings, sabretooth drop necklaces, and unique black rhodium earrings. This British brand has stockists all around the UK with a boutique in Mayfair, and they deliver internationally.
Stephen Webster
Stephen Webster MBE is one of the UK’s leading luxury jewellers, known for his fine, contemporary designs. The men’s collection at this iconic designer brand ranges from barbed silver chains and pendant necklaces to golden tie clips and eccentric, beetle-themed lapel pins.
Distinct to Stephen Webster is the brand’s boundary-pushing collaborations with artists such as punk poet John Cooper Clarke, and American musician Machine Gun Kelly. This high-end jeweller now has more than 200 stores and stockists in cities such as Kyiv, Moscow, and California, and they deliver internationally.
BOND Hardware
BOND Hardware is an experimental Brooklyn-based jeweller that crafts jewellery inspired by items you might find in the garden shed, like nuts, bolts, and wrenches. Sustainability is a core focus for this design studio, which uses recycled materials with minimal environmental impact like marble, gold, 935 Argentium silver, and 6061 aerospace-grade aluminium.
Stand-out items at BOND include the buzzsaw silver cuff, the steel hammer ring, and the black diamond-encrusted 80mm nail pendant. This Brooklyn retailer delivers internationally, and it has an interesting selection of niche homeware goods if you’re looking for a quirky gift.
Jorge Adeler
Lovers of art and history will be drawn to the peculiar items in Jorge Adeler men’s jewellery collection. This Argentinian-American designer sells stunning handcrafted rings, bracelets, and necklaces using precious stones and ancient coins. The Gods & Heroes collection at Jorge Adeler is especially impressive. Many of the rings and necklaces in this collection are crafted using one-of-a-kind ancient coins set in 18-carat gold, depicting historic and mythological figures like Alexander the Great and the Greek god Apollo.
Jorge Adeler also makes beautiful meteorite rings crafted from the iron meteor that fell in the Siberian mountains in 1947. This luxury jeweller has boutiques in several US states and Australia, with international delivery options available via third-party stockists.
King Ice
For men with more urban taste, the jewellery at King Ice is dazzling. This LA brand crafts hip-hop-inspired streetwear jewellery and has collaborated with artists like Snoop Dogg, Wu Tang Clan, and Odd Future. As you’d expect, the jewellery here is flashy, shiny, and designed to be seen. Many of the items at King Ice are gold-plated rather than solid gold, so it’s a good option for older teenagers or young men looking for their first pieces of precious metal jewellery without the risk of wearing £5,000+ around their neck.
If you are however willing to splurge, there are some high-quality solid gold options at King Ice, such as the heavy 18mm 14-carat Cuban link chain. This California jewellery store ships internationally and makes a great gift option for that stylish son or nephew who knows his East Coast from West Coast rap music.
Bulgari
A more familiar brand than some of the above, Italian luxury fashion house Bulgari is known for its high-quality, Roman-inspired precious metal jewellery that evokes elegance without being over-the-top (unless you look in the High Jewellery collection, which is quite the opposite). This historic designer creates sleek, customisable men’s wrist cuffs in white, yellow, and rose gold, alongside beautiful black onyx cufflinks set in 18-carat gold.
Bulgari men’s watches are particularly fashionable and meticulously engineered, with stainless steel chronograph watches and sophisticated alligator leather timepieces. As a long-established brand, Bulgari has flagship stores across the world and has the option for international online delivery.
Final Take
Sometimes, treating yourself or someone else to a valuable piece of jewellery isn’t just a stylish treat, it’s an investment that requires care. Gold, platinum, and diamonds famously retain their value extremely well, so it’s best to treat them as more than just an adornment. Whether it’s a rare ancient coin ring from Jorge Adeler or a classic Bulgari gold cuff, you can be sure the wearer will feel as good as they look.
