Diamonds aren’t just a girls best friend

Men can wear them too, and should. In fact men have been wearing diamond jewelry for centuries.

Whether new or a vintage piece, diamond jewelry provides a great accent to an outfit and can lend that finishing touch. A nice ring or bracelet, maybe a diamond dial on a watch. It definitely adds an element of style. While there are certainly men who like extravagant pieces I would suggest most keep it simple.

Rings are a natural. Not only do diamonds look great in men’s wedding bands but they also work just as well on the ring or middle finger of the opposite hand if you’re not married or simply to provide balance to a ring on your other hand. Perhaps you’ve inherited your fathers, or grandfathers, pinky ring. Wear it with pride and confidence.

Bracelets are less popular with men nowadays but don’t overlook them. Men should stick to bracelets that are tighter around the wrist and don’t dangle or jingle against things. A nice stainless steel, sterling silver or gold bracelet with just a diamond accent on it can add a touch of elegance.

And who can ignore a beautiful watch with a diamond dial or bezel.

Depending upon your style , and the occasion, there are plenty of other options such as cuff links, tie bars and tie pins.

Just follow a few basic guidelines:

1. Does it match what I’m wearing.

2. Does it fit the occasion.

3. Keep it simple.

Ready to expand a bit? Find a piece that mixes clear diamonds with champagne ones. Or add a ring to your collection that mixes diamonds with other natural stones like sapphires or emeralds. One of my pieces that I love is a diamond and sapphire ring my father wore, and his father before him. One day, perhaps I’ll have a grandchild of my own to leave it to.
