In recent years, men’s jewelry has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to celebrities such as Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, and Daniel Kaluuya. As a result of these heavy hitters, men’s jewelry has been modernized and embraced styles and materials once only seen in women’s jewelry. In addition, there are some jewelry brands that have expanded their reach to the men’s market. The brand’s approach to men has been perfected over the years by Evan Yurman, son of David Yurman. Just under two years ago, Tiffany & Co. unveiled a men’s jewelry line of go-to elevated basics. For a gender-neutral space, Foundrae adapted some of its existing jewelry, and Mikimoto partnered with Comme des Garçons to give heritage pearls the perfect amount of edge.
Tom Wood
The English brand offers elevated essentials with minimal impact on the environment. Each piece is designed to transcend trends and be worn year-round.
Luis Morais
The ultimate luxury for Luis Morais is fine materials infused with fun. For statement-making pieces, the Miami-based jewelry line integrates color and precious stones.
Le Gramme
Le Gramme is a French jewelry brand whose simplicity is refined. Le Lou*r’s minimalist designs were inspired by Erwan Le Lou*r, an industrial designer by trade.
Foundrae
Foundrae by Beth Bugdaycay is wildly popular among women’s jewelry collectors, but she recently expanded her approach to design and styling of her pieces to appeal to men as well. She uses stones like lapis and carnelian in her element chains, and all of her medallions are meaningful and can be built.
Hatton Labs
Jewelry brand from London that is both androgynous and iconographic, it’s not afraid to use diamonds, colored stones, or pearls in its designs.
Miansai
Miansai by Michael Saiger adds refined details to classics-like this silver-clasped leather bracelet-to create a collection of modernized essentials for men.
Giles & Brother
A mainstay in men’s jewelry, Giles & Brother is designed by a brother and sister duo and focuses on metals rather than stones (although there are some colored beads and threads). The pieces are substantial without being overpowering.
Cartier
Aside from the Love bracelets and rings, Cartier also offers refined chain necklaces and bracelets as well as cuffs that are suitable for men and women alike.
Eli Halili
Eli Halili’s collection is grounded in yellow gold with rustic aspects such as ancient Greek coins, tumbled stones, and warm-hued leather threads.
Mikimoto
By combining two Japanese powerhouse brands, Mikimoto and Comme des Garçons have created a fabulous alternative to the classic pearl necklace. Among the items are silver chains, safety pins, shark-tooth details, and more. Pearl-and-silver earrings by Mikimoto are not part of the collaboration, but are no less modern.
Panconesi
Known for his bold and colorful designs, stylist favorite Panconesi transcends gender. There is a variety of work for all that runs from the simplest to the most outlandish.
Alighieri
The London brand was initially inspired by Dante’s Inferno. A great addition to women’s jewelry, gold-and-pearl necklaces are now available for men as well.
Chrome Hearts
Virgil Abloh, who is such a fan that he has collaborated with Chrome Hearts and done pop-ups with the brand, is one of Chrome Hearts’ fans. Heavy metal fleurs de lis are a classic brand icon, but there are also colorful gemstones and classic chains to be found here.
Mejuri
There is no way you haven’t heard of the contemporary jewelry brand from Canada that has taken off lately. In its attempt to enter the men’s jewelry market, it takes a very basic yet well-priced approach.
M Jewelers
M Jewelers has a selection of elevated basics for men as well as eye-catching collaborations with solid names. Greg Yuna and Alexander Roth’s collections add color and sparkle to an otherwise mostly metal line.
