Men's silver jewelry online today
The men's silver jewelry market has taken off in the past few
years with men in the mainstream comfortably buying sterling
adornments historically worn by Hollywood stars and athletes.
>From sterling silver pendants to chunky link necklaces and
bracelets, silver jewelry for men has come of age since the days
when cufflinks were the only jewelry adornment offered in the
men's accessory department.
With the successful introduction of international brands such as
the UK's Hot Diamonds into the United States market, American
men have given themselves permission to have fun with attractive
necklaces, bangles and heavy link chains for the wrist, as well
as an endless variety of sterling silver rings, key holders and
cufflinks. Hot Diamonds was one of the first jewelers for men
and women to enhance sterling silver with small round diamonds.
Another distinctive feature of the Hot Diamonds Collection is
the very clean, contemporary design of the jewelry. For
instance, the classic heavy link bracelet is brought up-to-date
with a toggle clasp sporting diamonds on each end of the bar
fastener. Patterns are repeated in cufflink, pendant, key ring
and ring, offering attractive sets to give as gifts, as well as
to wear.
Men also do not have to fuss about keeping their Hot Diamonds
jewelry clean since every piece is given a bath of rhodium,
making them tarnish-free.
World renowned Canadian jeweler, John Hardy, who lives and
creates his line in Bali, will be introducing his first
collection of men's jewelry this fall called "Black Ice,"
combining sterling silver with black sapphires.
Fred Bennett brings a vast array of sterling silver pieces for
men into the market with his 2004 collection. With elegant
silver dotted with diamonds, oxidized silver that produces bold
stripes of black, sleek satin finish pieces or even a series of
"scratched" finish designs, the Fred Bennett line offers men an
infinite variety of ways to wear silver. Even black agate,
tiger's eye, enamel and resin are worked with silver to create
masculine and bold patterns in the jewelry.
Very popular is the combination of highly polished sterling
silver with matte-finished sterling, giving each piece texture
and interest. Men are enjoying a way to bring individuality and
style into their wardrobe without spending a fortune. Not only
is sterling silver affordable, but it looks extremely
fashionable with blacks, grays and the darker colors so many
"mainstream men" choose to wear.
Men purchased $5 billion worth of jewelry last year, or 12 per
cent of all jewelry sold. Much of that jewelry was purchased as
gifts for wives and girlfriends. That is quickly changing as men
are now on the lookout for their own personal jewelry and
sterling silver is topping the charts as the metal of choice.
