Men’s Jewelry Do’s and Don'ts for a Polished LookSeptember 30, 2024

Jewelry can be a powerful tool for self-expression, adding a personal touch and enhancing any look. However, the key to wearing gold jewelry well is to balance personal expression with a sense of appropriateness. In this blog post, we will talk about the do’s and don'ts of gold jewelry to help you make the right choices.

The Do’s

Keep It Simple

When it comes to men’s jewelry, sometimes less is more. Opt for pieces that are understated yet elegant. A classic gold chain like a Miami Cuban Link Chain, paired with a simple bracelet, or a pair of understated earrings can enhance your outfit without overwhelming it.

Match Your Jewelry to Your Outfit

Consider the overall style of your outfit when choosing your jewelry. If you're dressed in a formal suit, a bold pendant like our Saint Michael Archangel and the Devil Pendant will be too much. Instead, opt for classic and elegant pieces like a Signet Ring for a refined look. For casual outfits, you can go as crazy as you want to match your overall style!

Pay Attention to Proportions

Choose jewelry that suits your body size and frame. For example, if you have a broad chest and shoulders, then you should choose a longer chain, as shorter chains are better suitable for smaller frames. Generally, if the necklace falls just below the collarbone, it is a safe choice. If you want to know more, check out at our blog on Best Chain Length for Men.

Invest in Quality Pieces

When it comes to jewelry, quality trumps quantity. Investing in a few high-quality pieces can elevate your style and ensure longevity. While gold-plated and gold vermeil jewelry can be cheaper, they can never last as long as solid gold. Solid gold is the only right choice if you want gold jewelry that will last you the rest of your life. With proper care and maintenance, real gold jewelry, like a Rope Chain, will always have its first-day shine and brilliance. At Bayam Jewelry, we only sell real gold jewelry that are made with the highest quality materials, guaranteeing lifelong brilliance.

Coordinate Metals

Gone are the days of sticking to one metal tone - the modern man embraces the art of mixing metals to create a unique and personalized look. Combining yellow, white, and rose gold adds a touch of versatility to your collection. So while you shouldn’t be afraid to experiment with different metal combinations, make sure your jewelry harmonize with each other. For example, combining a yellow gold Miami Curb Link Chain with a two-tone gold Diamond-Cut Apostles Last Supper Pendant and a Railroad Round CZ Ring will create a harmonized look that showcases a unique and modern approach to men’s jewelry.

The Don’t’s

Avoid Overloading on Accessories

Wearing too much jewelry can quickly become overwhelming and detract from your overall look. For example, when layering chains, stick to wearing a single pendant with one chain rather than adding multiple pendants to multiple chains (although two chains with two pendants can look very stylish depending on how you style it). This will ensure a more cohesive and refined look, preventing your jewelry from appearing overwhelming.

Don’t Neglect Occasion Appropriateness

Different occasions call for different types of jewelry. Avoid wearing flashy or overly bold pieces to formal events, and steer clear of overly formal pieces for casual outings. Tailoring your jewelry to the occasion demonstrates style awareness, and ensures a polished look.

Don’t Overlook Fit and Comfort

Jewelry should not only look good, but also feel comfortable. Avoid rings that are too tight, bracelets that are too loose, or pendants that are too heavy. Ill-fitting jewelry can be distracting and even annoying to wear, which is the opposite of what gold jewelry is about. For example, our large Diamond Cut Crucifix Jesus Body Pendant, which is 13.60 grams, may not be comfortable for those with smaller frames. So don’t overlook comfort and fit.

Don’t Mix Too Many Styles

If you’re mixing different types of jewelry, like a formal watch with a casual bracelet, make sure they complement rather than clash with each other. Mixing styles without careful consideration can lead to a disjointed appearance. For example, our Rolex Datejust Diamond Bezel Watch will look great with a Diamond Tennis Bracelet, complementing the diamonds on the watch, whereas a Diamond Edge Cuban Link Bracelet, despite also being embedded with diamonds, will not have the same effect as it will be too “edgy” for the watch.
