The history of men wearing jewellery dates back to the ancient Egyptians and is evidenced by the artefacts found in tombs. Throughout the ages, men have been wearing jewellery for decorative and symbolic reasons, and it is still a popular accessory today. Whether it is Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, or the Middle Ages, men have worn jewellery in one form or another. The Renaissance brought more ornate designs to the fore with uniquely featured motifs. The one thing that has remained common through the ages is that jewellery is not restricted to women alone. Men and women have worn and continue to wear jewellery to show personal taste, their status, or simply because they love jewellery!
Today, we remain faithful to the tradition, making all men’s jewellery very popular. Our jewellers create highly inspiring and creative styles, exploiting the potential fully. Now, jewellery has become integral to men’s accessories, ranging from casual to highly formal and sophisticated looks.
Whether you’re looking for a subtle piece to enhance your everyday look, or a standout item to make a statement, this ultimate guide to men’s fine jewellery has you covered.
Choose the metal
The first step in selecting the perfect piece of men’s fine jewellery is to decide what material you’d like. Gold, silver, and platinum are all popular choices, each with its unique look and feel. When selecting a metal, consider the piece’s colour and if it goes with your skin tone. You can find your skin tone by looking at your wrist. If you find your veins visible enough to see a greenish tinge, you are likely to have a warmer tone, and gold jewellery like the Linear Beam Diamond Ring would be ideal. A blueish tinge means you can go for white gold, silver, or platinum. Both the Remy Platinum Band For Men and the Mason Diamond Ear Stud For Men in white gold are excellent choices.
Create your unique style
There are many styles to choose from, such as classic, modern, and vintage.
Classic pieces are timeless and understated, while modern jewellery adds a contemporary edge to any look.
Vintage pieces are perfect for those who like to stay true to old-world charm.
Another factor that adds to your style is the choice of jewellery with or without diamonds or gemstones.
For example, the Albert Gold Band For Men is a class act in its simplicity and sophistication.
And for those that believe in the power of navratnas, there is the Aditya Navratna Diamond Ring For Him!

What’s it to be – Rings, Bracelets, Pendants, or Earrings?
Once you’ve decided on the material and style of the jewellery, it’s time to pick the type of jewellery you’d like. Popular choices for men’s fine jewellery include rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants, and cufflinks.
Rings for men
Rings have become one of the most common jewellery favoured by men. Married or not, we see men wearing rings from solitaires like the Adam Solitaire Ring For Men to rings with a few diamonds like the Cody Diamond Ring For Men. While white and yellow gold rings may be more common, modern men don’t shy away from rose gold. Rings like the Geometric Fleur Diamond Ring and the two-toned Paul Diamond Ring For Men are equally popular.
Bracelets for men
Typically, men wear gold or silver personalised bracelets. But the new designs with diamonds take their style quotient several rungs higher. Gone are the loose chains with a flat centrepiece, or at least put away for the sleeker ones that are trending. Look at the Melvin Diamond Bracelet For Men and the Mack Diamond Bracelet For Men, and you will see what we mean about the cool styles men love to wear.
Let’s not forget the Kadas men like to wear. What was once the domain of the North has spread throughout the country, making Kadas hugely popular. Typically, men prefer Kadas in gold, like the Yuvan Gold Kada For Men or the two-toned ones, like the Gulzar Gold Kada For Men.
Earrings – studs or hoops?
You will likely find that earrings are as common in men as their rings. Some like to wear one earring and others a pair. Some men also like hoops in their ears. Stud earrings range in design from solitaires to gemstones and simple gold studs. If you are new to wearing an earring, you could start with the Calvin Ear Stud For Men in white gold. While you are experimenting, why not go for the Nathan Gemstone Ear Stud For Men? It is unique in more ways than one – made in rose gold, with diamonds and onyx, it is dramatic in appearance. But if you like wearing a hoop, the Neo Diamond Hoop For Men has a lot of appeal for that swag.
Jewellery is a great way to add a little whimsical twist to your everyday look. You can keep your studs on all the time and add a bracelet to complete your cool ensemble. As in all things related to jewellery, craftsmanship is crucial. Look for pieces that are well-made and made with high-quality materials. Also, consider the piece’s design and how it will complement your look. All that remains now is stepping into CaratLane and giving yourself the freedom to choose yours. While at it, you may be inspired to step boldly into a new world of men’s fine jewellery and find your true expression, a piece that reflects who you are and who you want to be.
