When a word “Jewellery” mentioned, always women come in our mind as it is so closely attached with ladies. In fact, when we think about gifts for lady, it is the jewellery we first look for. Among all men who bought jewellery, 74% bought for gift. So it is very common that jewellery and women are connected so closely with each others. These are the figures we can expect. But now let me give some unexpected figures. Among all women bought jewellery, 58% bought for gift. And most surprising figure to me is, 85% respondents said “They have purchased jewellery for someone else“. Now thats something interesting. That 85% respondents must include equal numbers of ladies and we can assume that a significant number of ladies bought it for their men. We can easily say, the jewellery is becoming more and more popular in since recent years. The trend has changed in men. And that is also picked up by many top brands. They are now bringing men‘s jewelleries in huge varieties. The technologies in jewellery making has done a lot help to produce some of the fantastic jewelleries.
Why jewellery becomes modern men’s first choice? There a few reasons which I think changed the perception and trend.
Un-orthodox designs and rise of engraved jewellery
When we see ladies jewellery, it mostly designed on themes like flower or various charming curveture designs which was not suitable for men. Today we find many un-orthodox designs like we see skup, danger sign or a simple cross which attracted men. Apart from this, engraving of letters and quotes also increased the interest of men in jewellery.
Sports Related designs
This could be part of un-orthodox design, but I have mentioned separately because it has played a huge role. Men always love to express their love for sports in crazy ways. We have seen tattoos, t-shirts etc. Jewellery just added one more option.
Rise of jewelleries made from other than yellow Gold
This is also a convincing reason. Typical yellow gold jewellery was not men wanted. They are waiting for something different and most jewellery manufacturers started their productions in that directions. Today we have huge range of silver jewellery and various coloured gold (most popular is white gold) for men.
Less Gift options
This is perhaps least significant reason but still I find it important enough to list it here. Its been obvious that you can’t find more gift options for men other than some usual things like watches, clothes, accessories like pocket purse, shoes, belt etc. In particular, when someone finding precious gift, other than watches there are nothing you can select. So I feel jewellery has made a space in precious gift items for men.
Various combinations with jewellery
We had jewellery completely made from precious metal like gold, silver etc. The concept of various combinations evolves few decades ago. Today we have jewellery made of combining few metals or leather. Which does two things, we can have unique design and second reduce of price. We have beautiful leather bracelets with gold or silver elements attached with. We also have option of wide range of plataed jewellery where gold is plated on metals like silver, stainless steel etc.
So now, if you are finding a gift for a man, jewellery can be considered. You can follow celebrities fashion while choosing the gift. Find who is favorite of your man and what brands that actor endorses, you can consider those jewellery.
In this era of Internet, there are many online shopping stores offering great collections of jewelleries for men. The Jewel Hut is such one which I know in UK. The Jewel Hut offers jewellery from more than 35 brands. It is associated with trusted high street jewellers TH Baker & Co. You should visit the store once before you buy any jewellery. You might get the same jewellery in best price.
