Together Forever Pendant by Inori

Much as they put on that tough “Ugh, stupid lovey dovey girls!” exterior, underneath men are just as thrilled to have someone special in their lives as women. They simply talk about it much less! While Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day for men to give and women to receive, we believe that in modern times it should be a two-way street. Much as they like to be in love, men really don’t like flowers, and most are genetically programmed to prefer bacon to chocolates. So unless he really needs ties, socks or boxers, jewelry is the number one Valentine’s Day gift choice for guys! Today we look at some sweet, but never mushy, Valentine’s gifts for men.

Wenger LED Nomad Digital Watch

Emporio Armani Classic Colored Men’s Watch

Men’s 3-Segment Silver Cufflinks

Rochet Men’s Stainless Steel/Techno Gold Bracelet

Eclipse Titanium and Silver Ring

Inori, a popular Japanese style brand of jewelry, has created a collection that wears its heart on its sleeve … but always retains an innate masculinity. The Together Forever Pendant at the beginning of the article is a beautiful example. The Curves of the pendant fit together with a matching gold-colored circle Inori pendant for women. The women’s circle part snuggles into the concave part of the men’s pendant … awwww! The pendant says ‘Together Forever’ on the side, but the writing is small enough only for you and him to read it. This pendant doesn’t come with a chain – choose 60cm or longer if he wants to be able to tuck it into a shirt, and 45cm or shorter to have it sit up and be shown off!

They say that if you love something, you should set it free … and this is never more true than for men! So often they feel stifled when they appear to be ‘trapped’ … tell him that his life is his own, but that he’ll always have your love, with this ‘Nomad’ watch from Wenger. It’s specially designed for roaming around – it has a highly visible LED display behind the traditional analog hands, as well as a digital compass. It incorporates a digital second time one, and is water resistant to 100m (suitable for swimming and snorkelling). It also comes with a 3 year warranty, and your choice of band size.

For more classical guys, there are plenty of gifts that are not mushy, not overtly romantic, but will be loved, taken care of and appreciated until the end of their days! The classic colored Emporio Armani watch, from a range newly added to our store, is one of them. The amber color of the face actually comes from the crystal, and the leather strap is croco-embossed for a bit of panache. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, and is splash resistant (but unfortunately not suitable for doing the dishes!).

The 3-segment cufflinks at right have a sort of hidden meaning for your boyfriend or husband this Valentine’s Day. You often see triple-gemstone rings sold as romantic gifts, because each of the stones represents the past, present and future of a relationship. The 3 links of these cufflinks can do the same … but in a very covert way! The cufflinks are made of stainless steel, with polished segments on the outer, and a matte textured segment in the middle. They are 2cm long – sizeable for cufflinks – and good for semi-formal o ultra- formal occasions.

Valentine’s Day is all about being soft and gentle – and this stainless steel and techno gold Rochet bracelet is one of the pieces that exhibits that feeling best! The flow of a bracelet as his hand moves up and down, and the low-level contrast of the techno gold against stainless steel make this quite an understated and gentle piece, without being feminine at all. The bracelet measures 23cm – make sure it will fit him before you order!

We love the Eclipse titanium and silver wedding ring for a Valentine’s gift for guys. Whether you’re engaged, married, or just know for certain that he’s what you want right now, the titanium and silver design is subtle and gorgeous, and creates no implications. If he works with his hands, you can grab a chain to pop it on – although titanium is one of the most scratch-resistant metals on the planet. You have a fair few choices with this ring – you can customize band width, titanium color, the texture of the finish and also engrave a message inside the band if you like. Great value!

Jewelry is a beautiful gift for guys on Valentine’s Day, and while the thought is very much born of love, the jewelry itself is nothing less than strong and masculine! Not something that he can only wear in private .
