broken image

Men's jewelry is on the rise, as more and more men are turning to watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings and even earrings to update their outfits and express their style and personality. If you’re a guy looking to jump on this rising trend, there are some rules you need to know about buying and wearing men's gold jewelry.

1. Start with the essentials. If you're new to wearing jewelry, start with essential piece— the wristwatch. Wristwatches are a classic timepiece that's suitable for just about every outfit and occasion and gives off an aura of style and sophistication. When buying a wristwatch, be mindful of your proportions. Choose a watch with a face size that suits the size of your wrist.

2. Don't mix metals. When wearing multiple pieces of jewelry, make sure the metals don’t clash. For instance, don’t pair a gold diamond watch with a silver chain. Stick to one metal so that everything looks cohesive and put together.

3. Be mindful of quality. While cheap jewelry may be kinder on your wallet, it’s best to invest in quality pieces. Poor quality metals can leave green stains that can really put a damper on your look, and it won't be long before you'll need to replace substandard pieces. Stick to men's real gold jewelry. Pieces made of this quality metal will be a good investment and last a long time.

4. Consider the occasion. The occasion for which you're dressing will dictate what pieces of jewelry you wear. For instance, you wouldn't show up at the office in an iced out chain. For formal and professional occasions, stick to subtle, classic pieces, such as a simple gold watch and cufflinks.

5.  Less is more. If you're having trouble deciding how much jewelry to wear, remember this: less is more. Wearing multiple large pieces at once can appear too gaudy and distracting. Instead, stick to a few pieces, such as pairing an iced out watch with a simplistic gold diamond chain.

These are a few rules to keep in mind when wearing men's gold jewelry. By sticking to these basic rules you can create a great look that embodies your style and personality.
