GIA’s 2014 Holiday Shopping Guides are here to help inspire your holiday shopping this season. Today, we discuss how to make the right choice when it comes to buying jewelry for men.
Matching His Personal Style
Inspired gift-giving requires you to look beyond the basics. He may already have those classic pieces; consider upgrading with different accent gems or alternative metals. Incorporating truly distinctive design is the ideal way to set his style apart from the pack this holiday season.
Bear in mind, knowing his personal style is key. Once you’ve established his comfort zone, unite his preferences with current trends for the perfect gift. Add a personal touch with a signet ring that has his initials or emblem representing his family. You can also engrave a special message on the back of a timepiece as a gesture of love. Titanium, stainless steel, and platinum are the perfect metals to maintain a masculine aura while conveying a sophisticated style sense. When in
doubt, consult your jeweler for
suggestions to find the ideal piece.

Masculine Details
With masculine details such as metallic finishes, A New Outlook on Men’s Jewelry makes gift giving this holiday season a stress-free venture. Get inspired by Designs in the Fast Lane, stellar pieces of jewelry for the car enthusiast in your life. What about a unique set of auto-inspired cufflinks, channeling high polished metal hubcaps. Or think about a matte black chain necklace and bracelet for a subtle play on the characteristic color of car tires or a black leather interior.
Timeless Classics
Functional and acceptable to wear in almost all circumstances, a watch is the central player in most men’s accessories.
There are basic elements every man needs in his wardrobe arsenal. The holidays are the perfect time to give him the essentials for the upcoming year. Have a look at GIA’s Top 10 Jewelry Gifts for Men, for pieces to help him define his sense of style. A great timepiece is functional (don’t men love practical?) and classic — whether it sports a metal bracelet or leather band. A set of matching cufflinks and tie tacks is easy to add to any suit to achieve a polished, put-together look.
Effortless gift giving is possible when you know his personal style preferences. Whether he adheres to classic elements or embraces unique masculine details, the right Holiday Buying Guide can allow you to make a gift choice that will remain a part of his wardrobe for years to come.
