The new era of men's jewellery is here
There used to be a time when men’s jewellery or bracelets were relegated to the cousins you had in Goa who wore tank tops and Bermuda shorts. Or, you know, bracelets were hospital tags or festival bands. For many men, it was either too loud or too gold.
Now, however, times have changed. Somewhere between gender fluid fashion, the rise of quiet luxury, and Timothee Chalamet turning up half shirtless in Cartier, men’s jewellery has become aspirational and sexy.
Now, bracelets are a visual pause. Golds and rose golds gleaming on wrists on well-dressed men who pay attention to themselves. It’s valued as much as one values a good watch on your wrist.
So, here are some recommendations for bracelets you should own.
If you’re going to do gold, do it properly. The Santos de Cartier bracelet is classic Cartier geometry — sharp, architectural, and luxe. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, its delicate chain links carry just enough weight to feel substantial. Pair it with a crisp white shirt and a tan.
Chopard’s Classic Racing bracelet is where braided burgundy leather meets silver-toned metal, complete with a Dunlop tire-tread clasp — a nod to the 1960s racing era. It’s understated as hell and looks too good.
This one is not minimal at all. Instead, the Amaris Offtrack bracelet leans into boldness – a clash of back and white diamonds. 4.3 carats of black diamonds set in 14k white gold give it an unapologetic edge, while the craftsmanship is beautiful and refined. Pricey? Yes, but fully worth it.
Tod’s is how Italians do things – perfect craftsmanship. The classic leather bracelet pairs soft calfskin with a sleek metal bar and closure, finished with the brand’s discreet engraving. Pair it with linen shirts or blazers, it works everywhere.
The Ferragamo Gancini bracelet riffs on the brand’s signature clasp design, reimagined in braided calfskin with a magnetic closure. It’s elegant, masculine, and quietly Mediterranean
LV’s Spike Bangle mixes sterling silver with black enamel, finished with the house’s Monogram engravings. It’s polished, sharp, and slightly rebellious.
