Stainless steel pendant

If you have decided to look past the tie and sock aisle of your local department store for a men’s birthday gift – good for you! A lot of people are surprised by the range and suitability of men’s jewelry that is available nowadays. Couple this with the fact that men’s jewelry is becoming more widespread, and worn even by the real ‘man’s men’, and you have a whole new world of gift ideas!

If your man’s birthday falls between the 23rd of September and 22nd of October, he is a Libran. This gives you a range of starting points – the birthstone for October birthdays is the opal, which is available in many more varieties than the standard blue-green, very colorful and almost feminine type. Opal is also available in white and black varieties – nomination bracelet links are available in subtly individual white opal, for example. Other birthstones for Librans are the sapphire and the lapis, whose beautiful deep blue to green colors make them ideal for strong, confident men, who like to be individuals.

The metals associated with Libra are steel, gold and platinum – really quite handy if you are thinking about a jewelry gift for their birthday! Our personal pick (although it may need to be an integrated birthday and Christmas persent, at least!), is the platinum and white gold ring, with beautiful barely-there striations of each metal throughout the piece. For subtle, integrated jewelry pieces for men that don’t really like wearing jewelry (although we find it hard to imagine such a person!), have a look at the range of tie clips, money clips, and cufflinks – all available in steel, gold or platinum pieces.

For Scorpios, or those born between October 24 and November 22, the metal for their starsign is also steel – stainless steel is the obvious choice for a jewelry base. Luckily for you, stainless steel is a popular material in mens jewelry, and it is available in colors like black and red, as well as the traditional silvery look of stainless steel. Men should appreciate the hardy, long-lasting, no-nonsense qualities of stainless steel, as well as the simple but classy stylings of the men’s jewelry pieces in our range.
