Tips On How To Buy Men’s Jewelry | What Your Jeweler Might Not Be Telling You
-
Jewelry Color
– Do you want plain gold or silver-colored jewelry, or are you looking for something with a colored stone? If so, what color? This is your most effective triage, since it automatically eliminates a huge chunk of wrong-colored options.
-
Specific Metal
– Not all silvertone jewelry is silver, nor is all goldtone jewelry gold. If you’re set on a specific metal rather than a general color, say so. It helps eliminate a lot of options.

Jewelry Proportions
– Don’t be afraid to use unscientific terms here. If you want a slender chain, say so. If you want a big, chunky ring, say that. Give good, descriptive words rather than worrying about technicalities. It’s your job to tell the jeweler “I want a nice set of cufflinks that aren’t too ostentatious”, it’s his job to know what pairs would match that description.
-
Price
– You may not want to mention this upfront, but have a limit in your head and stick to it. If you’re offered something above it just say “sorry, that’s more than I was looking to spend” and offer a lower figure. Some jewelers will be willing to haggle over a specific piece’s price, while others will direct you to similar but less-expensive options.
