Nov.17,2010As mens fashion continues to pick up steam, more and more men are beginning to wear gold jewelry in their everyday lives. From bracelets to rings, these accessories are a good way to add a bit more personality to a man’s wardrobe and can allow him to express his personal style at the office or other areas with a strict dress code. One new trend in mens jewelry is incorporating colored semi-precious stones into the designs. These items, like amethyst rings, make a bold fashion statement and look great on most men.
Amethyst is most popularly associated with February as it is the birthstone for this month. Though it has long been a staple of the wardrobes of those with February birthdays, it is now being more commonly worn by those who were born in any month of the year. It ranges in color from a bright, true purple to a more muted tone and can be paired with any metal from gold to silver to platinum. Most mens rings that feature this material incorporate it into a thick band. The flat, hidden setting allows the stone to remain flush with the rest of the ring to give it a cool, understated quality. Depending on your preference, an amethyst may be set alone, or worked into a design with other precious or semi-precious stones.
If purple is not your color, you get still buy into this cool ring trend. Perhaps rooted in the tradition of the class ring, more and more mens groups and clubs are beginning to offer rings for their members. Masonic rings have been around for years, and men who are member of this group often wear rings to identify themselves. Even if you are not a member of the Masons, you can find a large, substantial ring that will show your affiliation. Rings with college insignias, union logos and other identifying features are readily available at jewelry stores and online retailers. In most cases, one need to prove their affiliation to place an order. There have never been more options available to men who are interested in showcasing their style with a thick, chunky ring. These large pieces of jewelry are gaining in popularity all over the country, and are available at both fine and costume jewelry prices. To keep your ring looking great, make sure to clean it regularly and have it professionally sized for the perfect fit.
