For a very long time, diamonds have been considered an adornment for strictly women. However, since the 1970’s, during a diamond resurgence, men have been seen sporting a diamond ring, cuff links, or tie pins here and there. It just seems that the diamond market has never really been able to convince men that diamonds can be a man’s best friend as well. Maybe since men generally purchase diamonds for women, it is time that women do the same for men. Diamonds are a luxury, but they are still affordable for everyone. Here are a few ideas for those of you who would like to see your husband, father, son, or boyfriend enjoying jewelry as much as you do. Diamond necklaces are not just for women any more. Necklaces for men come in a variety of styles. Maybe it is because of patriotism or because of the focus that we have on war, dog tags (sometimes referred to as pendants) are in style! And they are not just military issue any more-they are sharp and come in a variety of designs-and metals. The nicest ones are gold, silver, or platinum and are adorned with small diamonds. They can even be personally engraved with any personal message, as there is plenty of room. Depending on personal religious conviction, you might want to consider purchasing a cross for the man or men in your life. Masculine crosses are on the market and a lot are adorned with a small diamond near the top or in the center. Diamond rings for men don’t look like they used to. You might be thinking of the over-sized diamond signet ring where the diamond is set in black onyx. While those are great for some men, others want something a bit more understated. Well, now they are available. As with most jewelry, men’s diamond rings can be gold, white gold, silver, or platinum. They come in a variety of sizes and styles and fit the bill of classy understatement. While some are still square, completely round rings are found and will look great on the right man. Circular diamond rings resembles wedding bands but are a little wider. Diamond wedding bands are not restricted to the ring finger of women any more. There are some beautiful men’s rings on the market that are set with a single diamond or encrusted with several diamonds. Key chains aren’t just for carrying keys any longer. They have become a signature of style symbolizing who we are and what we drive. They may also be considered a symbol of social status-depending on which vehicle that the keys fit in. Many key chains are elegant and are diamond-studded. Money Clips are great for the man who does not like to carry a cumbersome wallet or does not like to pull his entire wallet out every time he is making a purchase. You can find a wide range of money clips at jewelry or department stores. They can be simple or stylish and dressy. Most all of these diamond jewelry items can be purchased with little research or shopping and without breaking your budget. Giving him a special gift of diamonds will make a statement and, believe it or not, men like diamonds too.
