JEWELRY GIFT IDEAS FOR MEN
For the dad who has enough ties, pocket squares and
paperweights, GIA put together its top 10 jewelry gift ideas
for the father in your life. You’ll find something for every man,
no matter your budget or his sense of style.
1
TIE ACCENT :
A TIE TACK, TIE BAR, OR TIE CHAIN PROVIDES A POLISHED, PUT-TOGETHER LOOK
WHILE HOLDING A TIE IN PLACE. A TIE BAR OF GOLD OR SILVER IS UNIVERSALLY
CLASSIC. THE TIE TACK CAN ALSO BE WORN THROUGH THE LAPEL BUTTONHOLE
LIKE A BOUTONNIERE.
2
CL A S SIC WATCH:
FUNCTIONAL AND ACCEPTABLE TO WEAR IN
ALMOST ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, A WATCH IS THE
CENTRAL PLAYER IN MOST MEN’S ACCESSORIES.
SOME PREFER A LEATHER BAND FOR COMFORT;
OTHERS OPT FOR A METAL BRACELET FOR THE
APPEARANCE. BECAUSE A GREAT TIMEPIECE WILL
NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE, GIVING HIM A SECOND
(OR THIRD) IS NEVER A BAD THING.
3
CUFFLINK S:
CLASSIC DESIGNS IN GOLD, SILVER OR PLATINUM CAN SPAN BOTH CASUAL AND FORMAL WEAR.
CUFFLINKS CAN ALSO BE EMBELLISHED WITH ENAMELING, COLORLESS, BLACK, GRAY, BROWN OR
OTHER COLORED DIAMONDS OR COLORED GEMSTONES.
4
NON-WEDDING RING :
FOR A COMBINATION OF DURABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY, LOOK FOR
STAINLESS STEEL, TITANIUM OR PALLADIUM. A TWO-TONE DESIGN
PROVIDES A UNIQUE LOOK. SIGNET RINGS CAN BE PERSONALIZED
WITH INITIALS OR AN EMBLEM OF FAMILY HERITAGE.
5
ID BR ACELET :
WORN BY JAMES DEAN AND ELVIS, THE ID BRACELET BECAME POPULAR IN THE 1950S.
TODAY’S STYLE ICONS WEAR UPDATED VERSIONS WITH LEATHER OR RUBBER STRAPS.

COLL AR PIN:
COLLAR PINS ADD A SOPHISTICATED TOUCH TO THE
SUIT-AND-TIE BUSINESSMAN. THEY ADD SHAPE TO A COLLAR
AND HELP ARCH A NECKTIE, AND CAN BE A BASIC COLLAR PIN,
BARBELL, OR COLLAR BAR.

CHUNKY CHAINS CAN HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL LOOK THAT SOME MEN LIKE. OTHERS MAY PREFER THE
EVER-POPULAR STAINLESS STEEL BALL STYLE NECKLACE WITH AN ENGRAVED OR EMBELLISHED DOG TAG.

FORGET THE STANDARD KEYCHAIN THAT CAME FROM THE
DEALERSHIP, THIS IS THE PERFECT ACCESSORY FOR THE CAR GUY
IN YOUR LIFE. OPTIONS ARE VAST, INCLUDING ENGRAVED METAL, A FOB WITH
PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE, OR A SIMPLE BRAIDED OR WOVEN LEATHER CORD.
9
MONE Y CLIP :
A MORE REFINED OPTION THAN THE BULKY WALLET, A BRASS OR
STAINLESS STEEL MONEY CLIP CAN BE A SPECIAL GIFT FOR THE MAN
WHO PREFERS STREAMLINED ACCESSORIES.

FROM A SIMPLE CORD NECKLACE TO LAYERS OF ROPES WRAPPED AS A BRACELET, THIS VERSATILE MATERIAL
