Much to our delight, the best men’s jewelry is cooler than ever. Husbands, boyfriends, friends, fathers, sons have so much more to pick from than a simple chain necklace or leather wrap bracelet—and even those have gotten better if that’s still their fancy. Think stones, color, mixed materials, and sometimes a bit of sparkle for the more daring of the lot.

The fashion scene has shown an affinity toward gender-neutral fashion in recent years, and jewelry is no exception. Many of our favorites create unisex collections, intended to be worn by all. Bernard James has been making genderless pieces for years, incorporating both delicate and rugged designs. Other brands have created dedicate men’s collections. Mateo started out with a focus on men’s jewelry and continues to create high quality men’s pieces alongside its popular women’s collections.

The men’s jewelry renaissance has gained steam thanks to the sartorial pursuits of style icons like Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, and Daniel Kaluuya. These heavy hitters have helped push the modernization of men’s jewelry by embracing styles (think chokers) and materials (like organic pearls) sometimes thought of as for women only. Then there are some big names in the jewelry world that have expanded their reach to the men’s market. Evan Yurman (son of David Yurman) has spent years perfecting the brand’s approach to the men’s side.
