Most men will wear a piece of jewelry every day if it is simple, sits right and does not need looking after. The hard part is choosing one he would have picked himself.
This guide covers 12 jewelry gifts for men, from a first pendant to gift sets, rings, bracelets and pieces with meaning. Prices are regular US prices. If you are shopping for Christmas, the order-by dates are near the end.
Our Black Friday sale opens with early access on November 12, and the VIP list gets in first. Prices in this guide may be lower during the sale.
What to look for in a jewelry gift for a man
Start with how he lives, not with what looks good in a box.
- He can wear it every day. A piece that comes off for the gym or the shower ends up in a drawer. Our pieces are stainless steel, 18K gold plated or silver-tone, and waterproof and sweatproof, made to wear 24/7.
- It matches what he already wears. If he wears a gold watch, go gold. If he wears silver or nothing at all, silver is the safer choice.
- It is simple. One clean stone or one solid chain beats anything busy. He can add more later.
- It is covered. Every piece comes with our Lifetime Guarantee. If it fades, loses its gold shine or breaks through a quality issue, we replace it free, shipping included, once per item. Loss, theft, regular wear and tear and misuse are not covered.
The best first piece: a pendant on a chain
A pendant is the easiest first gift. It sits under a shirt or over a t-shirt, and it does not need a ring size. Every pendant below comes on a chain, so it is ready to wear when he opens it.
1. Chip Tanzanite pendant, $70
The Chip Tanzanite pendant is our most reviewed piece: 4.9 stars from 504 reviews. It has a Tanzanite-blue stone set in gold or silver, on a Cuban, Rope or Octagon chain in 20, 22 or 24 in. The blue is the point.
2. Void Onyx pendant, $70
If he keeps things dark and plain, the Void Onyx pendant is the one. A minimal design with a sharp cut onyx stone, rated 4.6 stars from 380 reviews. Gold or silver, Cuban, Rope or Octagon chain, 20, 22 or 24 in.
3. Onyx Set, $109 (regular $160)
The Onyx Set is two necklaces made to be worn together: a Fusion Cuban chain at 20 in and the Void Onyx pendant on a 3mm Rope chain at 22 in. Good for a man who already wears one chain. 4.8 stars from 69 reviews, in gold or silver.
Gift sets
A gift set takes the matching out of your hands. The pieces are chosen to go together, they arrive in a Gasper gift box with a microfiber dustbag, and the price is lower than buying them one by one. New sets were added in late October. You can see all of them in our gift sets collection.
4. Creation of Adam Gift Set, $81.99 (regular $105)
The Creation of Adam Gift Set pairs the Creation of Adam Cuff V2, in Regular or Large and resizable, with the matching Creation of Adam ring in a size from 6 to 12. If he would rather wear it around his neck, the Creation of Adam Pendant & Ring Gift Set ($79, regular $120) swaps the cuff for the pendant on a chain. For three pieces, the Eternal Art Gift Set ($119.99, regular $155) adds the David Band ring.
5. Essential Chip Tanzanite Gift Set, $99 (regular $130)
The Essential Chip Tanzanite Gift Set puts the Chip Tanzanite pendant on a 2.5mm Cuban chain at 22 in, with a 3mm Rope chain at 22 in to wear alongside it. Our most reviewed pendant with a second chain added.
6. The Wayfinder Gift Set, $85 (regular $110)
The Wayfinder Gift Set layers our Compass pendant and a Micro North Star on one 2.5mm Cuban chain at 22 in. A good fit for a man starting something new.
7. Rope Gift Set, $58.99 (regular $75)
The Rope Gift Set is a 3mm Rope chain at 22 in and the matching 3mm Rope bracelet, in a size from 7 to 8.5 in. No stone, no symbol. The best pick here under $60.
Rings and bracelets
Rings and bracelets are the pieces he sees on himself every day, and they build up well over time.
8. Creation of Adam Cuff V2, $60
The Creation of Adam Cuff V2 is based on Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, the moment of connection between two hands. It comes in gold or silver, in Regular or Large, and it adjusts to the wrist. 4.6 stars from 46 reviews.
9. Any 4 rings for $99 in the US
With the ring stack, you pick any 4 rings for $99 in the US, each in its own size. It suits a man who likes to change his rings day to day.
10. Any 3 bracelets for $99 in the US
The bracelet stack works the same way: any 3 bracelets for $99 in the US, mixing gold and silver, with a size picked for each one.
If he wears a mix of rings, bracelets and chains, the any 4 stack lets you pick any 4 pieces for $139 in the US. Every stack includes a free Travel Box.
Gifts with meaning (St Christopher, cross, Creation of Adam)
Some men want a piece that stands for something. Our meaningful gifts collection puts them in one place.
11. St. Christopher pendant, $70
By tradition, St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers, and many men wear him on the road. The St. Christopher pendant is rated 4.8 stars from 25 reviews and comes on a Cuban, Rope or Snake chain. A good pick for a man who travels for work or is about to move away.
For the full set, The Traveler Gift Set ($119, regular $160) puts the St. Christopher pendant and a Micro Compass on one 2.5mm Cuban chain at 22 in, with the St. Christopher ring in his size. Gold ring sizes 7, 9 and 10 are sold out right now, so check his size first.
12. The Believer Gift Set, $109 (regular $145)
For a man of faith, The Believer Gift Set puts the Our Lady of Guadalupe pendant and a Micro Crucifix on one 2.5mm Cuban chain at 22 in, with a Cross bracelet in 7 or 8 in, plus a 0.5 in extension. A cross worn every day can be a quiet, daily reminder. If you would rather choose a single piece, the Crosses collection has 8 pieces, from pendants to bracelets.
The Creation of Adam pieces above sit in this group too. Many read the image as a reminder of what connects us. Others simply like it as art.

Getting the size right without asking
Necklaces
On most men, 20 in sits around the collarbone and 22 in sits a little lower. If you are unsure, 22 in is the safer pick. It is also the most chosen length on the Void Onyx. Our necklace size guide shows chains from 16 to 30 in. If a chain turns out short, a 3 in chain extender ($12.99) adds length.
Rings
Borrow a ring he already wears and measure the inside diameter. Then match it on our ring size guide. We carry US sizes 6 to 12, from 16.8mm inside diameter for size 6 to 22.5mm for size 12.
Bracelets and the cuff
The Creation of Adam Cuff V2 in Regular fits most wrists and adjusts, so it is the easy choice when you do not know his size.
If you still get it wrong, we have a 30-day return and exchange policy, so a wrong size can be exchanged.
Christmas order cut-offs and gift wrap
To arrive by Christmas, order by these dates:
