Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but what does that mean for the rest of us?
Believe it or not, diamonds used to be historically designated for men. From ancient world leaders, like the early Maharajas of India, to modern legends including Sir Elton John and designer Karl Lagerfield, men in positions of power have had a historical proclivity for jewelry. The question now is- can any man wear diamonds? To be short- yes!
What Jewelry Can A Man Wear?
Diamond jewelry is unisex- there, we said it. Any piece of jewelry can be worn by a man or woman, the only defining factor is whether they’re confident and comfortable enough to rock it or not. If you ask us, we think diamonds look incredible on everyone.
That being said, there are, of course, typical pieces of jewelry that are widely accepted as jewelry for men. We’ll discover those pieces, and more, in this article.
Diamond Jewelry for Men
Every man can appreciate the elegance of a nice watch, but why stop there? The modern jewelry industry has made it far easier for men to dip their hands in the realm of jewelry.
Men’s jewelry tends to be larger, bulkier, and flashier. That doesn’t mean that men can’t sport a thin diamond and gold band, but why stop there? The 21st century man has far more options for diamond accessories, ranging from the daintiest designs to heavyweight statement pieces.
Men’s Diamond Rings
Wedding rings
Wedding rings are probably the most widely accepted form of jewelry for men. For centuries, men of all different backgrounds have showcased their promise of eternal love by sporting a ring on their left or right ring finger. While most traditional men’s wedding rings have a sleek, featureless design, modern wedding rings for men have much more to offer, with unique design styles and options to match any personality. It is not uncommon for men to incorporate diamonds in their wedding rings, especially considering the significance of diamonds. What better gemstone to include in a men’s wedding ring than the stone that represents love, health, and strength?

Signet rings
One of the most historical styles of men’s rings is the Signet ring. Sleek, bold, and personalized, these rings date back as far as 3500 BC, when pharaohs and religious leaders used the flat-face of the signet ring to seal documents and signify the prestige of the wearer’s family heritage. Nowadays the signet ring has been coined “the gentleman’s ring”, and with good reason. Signet rings speak to the loyalty and pride in one’s personal history, showcasing that which is truly important to the wearer.
