Buying jewellery for a man is easier than most people think – but only if you know what to look for. The mistakes usually come from buying decorative when you should be buying meaningful, or buying trend when you should be buying quality.
Start With What He Already Wears
If he wears a watch with a silver case, he wears silver. If he has a leather bracelet or a simple chain, he is open to jewellery. If he wears nothing at all, start minimal – a simple chain or a single ring in a classic style.
The worst gift is something too bold for someone who has never worn jewellery. The second worst is something too minimal for someone who already wears statement pieces.
Silver Is the Safe Choice
Gold reads differently on different skin tones and in different contexts. Silver is versatile, works with most clothing, and ages well when it is 925 sterling quality. Oxidized silver, like all THOHT pieces, has a darker finish that looks less “precious” and more worn-in – better for men who are not naturally drawn to shiny things.
Rings: Get the Size Right
For THOHT rings, size is included in the order notes. If you do not know his ring size, measure a ring he already owns: trace the inside of the band on paper and measure the diameter. Alternatively, order and note that you need a specific size – THOHT pieces are made to order, so this can be accommodated.
Bracelets: Measure the Wrist
Cuff bracelets and stone bead bracelets fit best when made to wrist size. If you can measure his wrist while he sleeps or distract him long enough, measure in centimetres and include it in the order notes.
Necklaces: The Easy Option
Necklaces are the safest jewellery gift because chain length is adjustable on request and there is no sizing issue. A pendant necklace in 925 silver works for most men and requires no measurement.
