Introduction to Men's Necklaces
Necklaces have long adorned the necks of men in ancient times. In fact, in Ancient Egypt, men’s necklaces were often decorated with precious stones and crafted with rare metals. They were a symbol of power and status. In Ancient Greece and Rome, men’s necklaces were less fashionable, but still adorned with precious gems as a symbol of social status. Later on, men’s necklaces fell out of style in favor of watch chains and religious pendants but have gained immense popularity since the 1950s with the rise of rock and roll and metal music. They have ever since been fashion items and a way to express personality and style. Another major contribution to the rise of men’s necklaces’ popularity is the fact that they can be timeless or modern in design. They lend themselves well to formal occasions as well as everyday wear. They truly are a staple in men’s fashion and indispensable pieces in every man’s jewelry collection.
Designs & Styles Available in Men's Necklaces
Men’s necklaces are crafted from a variety of materials and come in a wide array of styles and designs. Classic men’s necklaces are traditionally designed with gold and other precious metals, and in chain or pendant designs. Chain men’s necklaces are timeless and can be delicate or quite bold, which makes them always in style. Pendants with special motifs, such as a cross or a tag are quite traditional choices. Modern designs are characterized by their contemporary designs and metal use. They can be crafted with gold, of course, but also with Sterling Silver and leather. Statement pieces, on the other hand, are the epitome of artistic liberty and geometric and bold designs. They can be adorned with diamonds or other precious stones and are designed to catch all eyes and make a true fashion statement. For customization options, men’s necklaces can be engraved with a name, a date, or a special quote, usually in a dog-tag design. This allows for the creation of truly unique pieces that speak only to the wearer.
Choosing the Perfect Men's Necklace
To choose the perfect men’s necklace for you, we invite you to take the following tips into consideration. Determining your style, understanding the necklace’s features and the pendant selection are crucial. For everyday wear, select a minimalist chain crafted with gold or Sterling Silver for maximum longevity, with or without a pendant. You can also opt for a discrete bar necklace which is perfect for personalizing your necklace. For a more casual look, you can select a leather necklace for a bohemian touch, or a dog tag which is also perfect for customizing your piece. When it comes to a classic look, gold and Sterling Silver necklaces are always in style. You can wear a gold or silver necklace with or without a pendant. A small pendant gives you the opportunity to showcase your style without being too casual. It's also important to think of the material used to craft your necklace. Yellow gold is classic and never goes out of style. It is the metal that usually comes to mind when we picture any piece of jewelry. It is perfect for everyday wear, as well as formal occasions. White gold is more modern than yellow gold and is a little more resistant as well. Think of white gold when selecting a modern necklace. For a bohemian look, your metal of choice is rose gold. Its darker and richer tone is perfect for beaded necklaces or accent pendants. Sterling Silver can be just as shiny as gold yet with a lower price tag. Keep in mind though that silver is not as durable as gold and requires cleaning and polishing more frequently. If you decide to wear your necklace with a pendant, you can select one that best suits your style and personality. You can wear a cross as a faith symbol, a dog tag for personalization and engraving or a geometric form for a modern and contemporary look.
Things to Know Before Buying a Men's Necklace
When buying any piece of fine jewelry, it’s important to be well-informed about certain aspects, and that applies to men’s designer necklaces as well. It’s important to evaluate the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship of your necklace. Good workmanship is reflected in the finish of the necklace and the symmetry in the design. It’s also important to verify the authenticity and source of all precious stones, to ensure a long-lasting value for your necklace. You can always ask for certificates for the gemstones, especially diamonds, from independent organizations such as the GIA before purchasing your designer men’s necklace.
