If you are looking to buy something other than the latest e-toy for a man, consider a piece of jewellery as a refreshingly different and creative solution.
Mens fashion has come a long way in recent years and men are increasingly comfortable with wearing jewellery. Making a gift of a ring or bracelet to a man is as acceptable today as it is for a woman but before choosing, make sure you consider his personality, style and personal preferences. Not all men have the same attitude to jewellery. Some men wear a lot of it and so feel comfortable wearing bold necklaces and bracelets. Others prefer something more discreet and decidedly more "masculine" in appearance. To help you make the right decision I've noted the different types of men who buy jewellery in our Noosa Head store, and added some product suggestions.
The Mans Man:
This man thinks of himself as a product of the Outback -- or perhaps he's the real thing. Tough and rugged with a strong independent streak - he's most comfortable wearing casual clothes and considers suits for wedding and funerals only. He's definitely not going to wear anything that could be considered girly by his mates.
Jewellery in metals such as titanium, stainless steel or other tough material are among the best choices. Sterling silver also works as long as the design is 'ruggedized'. Rings, and necklaces are usually safe choices, or go for a simple leather bracelet.

The Creative Fashionista
You'll know one if you have one! He loves the latest fashions and preens almost as much as you do. Confident and more than happy to express his trendy side, he's the man for bold necklaces, bracelets and attention seeking rings. Try a matching bracelet and necklace - or go bold and help him make a statement with a big ring.

The Executive
At work a conservative hard charging executive -- at home a fun guy who likes nothing more than excaping the discipline of office life. Jewellery allows him to express his personality but he'll likely be somewhat conservative in his choices. You won't go wrong buying him a ring in precious metals but if you are willing to take a small risk try a silver bracelet. If he doesn't like it, we can always exchange it for the ring!

The Family Man
He's the perfect Dad and caring partner, careful with money and puts the family first. If you are lucky enough to have found him, you know he deserves a treat. You worry that jewellery might seem frivolous to him but we know he'll never stop wearing it once you find the right piece. A nice solid ring is probably the best choice and is something personal that says you care.
