CHOOSING JEWELLERY FOR MEN

A PINK SAPPHIRE NOSE STUD OR GOTHIC SKULL ON A CHAIN? One man’s taste is another man’s hilarity. If you’re choosing men's jewellery for someone else, don’t go it alone. Come to Homme Rock for trusted advice. We’ll help you through the quagmire of bad ideas and poor design, or die trying…

What’s cool?
Tempted to pick an earring that you’ve seen on a rapper or reality TV show? Stop right there. Surprising as this may sound, we’d advise that you don’t try too hard to be cool. Instead, keep your eye open for simple designs, quality engineering, and great materials – these ensure your choice will remain current for years, not hours. A cutting-edge gift delivers on first impressions, but might be shoved to the back of the drawer within one season.

Choose a contemporary classic
Certain themes have influenced men’s jewellery for years. Buffed and scratched titanium, glossy silver and hardwearing steel are the contemporary metals of choice. Adding diamonds will give your gift lasting value – the stones have consistently increased in value over the last decade.

There’s a wide range of styles to pick from, including real diamond studs and wooden beaded bracelets. Dog tags have been current for years: pick a minimalist tag on a chunky chain and you’ve got a past/future classic on your hands. If you’re looking at rings, choose a steely titanium ring (tougher and more scratch-proof than gold) or a contemporary version of the traditional gold signet.

That doesn’t mean you can’t pick something with a more individual appeal. Look up our pieces by designer Ian Flaherty – his cutting-edge creations include multicoloured cube cufflinks. Skulls and tribal imagery give a more rock ‘n’ roll look – Fred Bennett’s stylish skull tag is a long-term favourite at Homme Rock.

The latest men’s jewellery online
Homme Rock hand-picks the best trends and designers, giving you a shortcut to sure-fire style. From über-cool Brighton designer Denison Boston to established names like Seven London, Fred Bennett and the gorgeous Kirsten Sander, our selection covers the finest design talent in the UK.

Like most people, we try to stay current. We make sure we’ve got the latest men’s jewellery from our designers, and we try to ensure that we’ve always got stock of your favourites. On the website, availability figures are refreshed every 15 minutes, including which colours and sizes are still available. Once you’ve ordered, sit back and expect a shiny, fat package in the post.

Buying men’s jewellery? – ask our gift advisors
If you’re buying jewellery for someone else, the choice can be daunting. That’s why our customer advisors are trained in helpfulness – to make your job easy. Drop us an email and get personalised advice tailored to the lucky blighter you’re buying for. Everything online, from cuffs to neckwear, arrives in a designer gift box – so you don’t even have to fiddle about with gift-wrap.

If the recipient hates it…
Send it straight back. One of the biggest worries reported by online shoppers is being unable to arrange returns or refunds. If your item is faulty or your ungrateful friend/spouse/father looks appalled by your choice, you can send it (in original condition) straight back to Homme Rock for a full refund.
