Valentine's Day Gifts for Men by David Yurman

Filed under: Jewelry, Men's Style, Luxury Shopping

Valentine's Day is a romantic occasion for both men and women. So why is it that men have always gotten short-changed when it comes to special gifts, especially jewelry? We think the time has come to honor the men in our lives.

Luxist asked David Yurman, creator of elegant jewelry (and the genius behind the iconic cable bracelet), to suggest a few pieces from his extensive men's collection, all of which would make wonderful gifts on Valentine's Day, in addition to any other special occasion.

"I've always felt that jewelry is one of the most personal and emotional gifts you can give your loved one," says designer David Yurman. "Perhaps one of the first pieces I created was a gift for my then girlfriend, now wife and muse Sybil, over thirty years ago. For this Valentine's Day I have designed a unique assortment for men that embody the spirit of the holiday."

If a bracelet is what you are looking for, Yurman offers a unique sterling silver and 18K yellow gold curb chain, which is part of the Exotic Stone Collection. The bracelet is available in a variety of stones, from black onyx ($1,800) to malachite ($2,100) and lapis ($2,500), which can be seen in the gallery below. The bracelets are 6 1/2" in length. The Rubber Weave Bracelet comes in gray, brown and blue, and retails for $295. From the Naturals Collection, the bracelet has a sterling silver sea urchin-texture clasp on a braided rubber bracelet. The bracelets are 8" in length and 8 mm in width.

BR Republic Jewelry Makes Gems for Your Martial Side

London jewelers BR Republic have launched their latest line, and it's worth a look if you'd like to accentuate your inner historical warrior. On the most, well, spartan, side there are pieces like the sterling silver Spartan pendant finished with black rhodium. A couple of steps up are masks finished with rose gold and .15 or .20 ct of round, brilliant-cut diamonds.

The top of the heap is where you'll find items like the sterling silver Spartan mask ring encrusted with 1.5 ct of diamond-cut round black sapphires, black rhodium and an interior plated with red gold. That's the one Beyoncé bought for Jay Z, while she opted for the bespoke ram's head in silver, sapphire and gold. The Prodigy's Maxim, on the other hand, went for the bespoke grenade with red gold pull-out pin.

Away from the battlefield are the company's silver and sapphire star rings, which could be the best way to let someone know "Baby, I'm a...." BR Republic is stocked at Harvey Nichols in London and Justice in Bath.

Simmons Jewelry Co. Steel Collection for Men

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Men's Style

Simmons Jewelry Co., run by the family of Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons, has a terrific line of jewelry for men that exudes style and strength without being too flashy.

Seen here on the new 90210's Adam Gregory are items from both their Wrist and Neck collections which retail for $155 to $7,000 here on the Simmons Jewelry Co. website. There is also a Finger collection (of rings) for $195 - $3,500.

Normally, for a very special occasion, the customary gift for a man is a pen or a watch. But what if he already has a pen and a watch? Some men I know have their father's or grandfather's watch, or the pen their parents gave them when they graduated from grad school. These gifts have a high sentimental value and are unlikely to be outshone by any price tag.

The Simmons Jewelry Co. Steel Collection is the perfect gift alternative for the man who already has a pen and a watch.

The collection combines diamonds with rubber and stainless steel in modern bracelets, chains, dog tags, and rings. We compiled a gallery of the most extravagant and attractive items below.

Win A John Ferdinand Bracelet

Men's jewelry is often a subject of some debate. Although men have been adorning themselves with jewelry for thousands of years, some say that men have no need for this type of embellishment. And certainly when it comes to men's jewelry, bad taste can abound. But simple, tasteful jewelry on a man can also be incredibly sexy.

John Ferdinand is an independent accessories brand from Hong Kong. They create pieces styled in solid sterling silver and inlaid with ebony, using offcuts from furniture making which would otherwise be discarded. The pieces also come packaged beautiful raw bamboo boxes. Although they design primarily for men, the company has found that about half of their customers are women who are mostly buying for themselves. No surprise, the designs have a contemporary unisex appeal.

This week one lucky reader will win the Halcyon bracelet which features a chunky curved silver panel inlaid with ebony on a thick, soft strap of nappa leather with a silver buckle. It's got a watch-like appeal making it perfect for those who use their cell phone to tell time but would still like a bold piece of wrist candy.
