Back To Basics: The Essential Pieces for Men’s Jewellery Collections
Jewellery should never be an afterthought. If you're searching to give your fit that extra edge, the right jewellery pieces will allow you to express your individuality in a range of different ways.
At NORVEI, we believe every man's jewellery collection should have a versatile selection of essentials from the three basic categories: chains, bracelets and earrings.
That doesn't mean your collection needs dozens of pieces—just a select few to give your style a winning edge and ensure you're ready to turn heads on any occasion.
Check out our guide to the essential men's jewellery pieces you should be investing in to build your standout collection.
Chains: The Foundation of Any Collection
Chains are an undeniable staple of men's jewellery collections. Their versatility and timelessness make them the best foundation for curating your collection.
NORVEI offers a wide selection of premium chains to suit different styles and preferences. However, these are the go-to essentials:
Cuban Chain
Although this list is in no particular order, the Cuban chain is probably the most iconic piece you could own. It's one of fashion's boldest, most influential pieces and has been for decades.
Whether worn alone as a statement piece or with a personal pendant, it's perfect for casual and formal looks. This distinctive piece is a must-have for men who like their jewellery to exude strength, confidence and masculinity.
A chunky Cuban chain can be worn alone or layered with a thinner style for extra modernity. Combine it with a classic blazer for a formal occasion, or let it elevate your plain white T-shirt.
Link Chain
Sleek and minimalistic, the link chain is ideal for men who are looking for a simple yet elevated and clean-cut vibe. This relatively thin chain offers understated class and quiet appeal while complementing daily fit.
While the link chain is a winning piece when layered, it's also excellent for wearing solo—don't underestimate simplicity.
Wearers usually pair a link chain with a statement pendant for individualism or layer it with a thicker chain for added depth and texture.
Figaro Chain
Italian craftsmanship at its finest, this chain is an outstanding representation of style. Iconic as it is classic, the Figaro can add intricacy to your collection. Compared to the Cuban or link chain, the Figaro chain offers complexity, boldness and sophistication.
A Figaro chain can work incredibly well to uplift a casual wardrobe. It offers versatility and can be paired with formal clothing like blazers and chinos.
Bracelets: Must-have Essentials
A collection is incomplete without a bracelet or two (or three). An ideal way to accessorise your wrist, NORVEI offers a selection of essential bracelet styles that go with any wardrobe. Here are our essential picks:
Tennis Bracelet
A go-to for men who appreciate luxury, the tennis bracelet is a fine yet eye-catching piece featuring a row of perfectly set gemstones.
Tennis bracelets can be worn solitary, and due to their boldness, they're often styled this way. However, if you want to level up your look, some men combine their tennis bracelets with another subtle design for balanced, extra-stylish wrist stacks.
Signet Cuffs
Signet cuffs are bold, minimalist bracelets that exude confidence—a modern take on a classic accessory for the contemporary man. They're generally thicker than most bracelets and have clean, sculpted designs that make them striking without being garish.
Showcasing a signet cuff with rolled-up sleeves for a sharp, sophisticated look or wearing a tailored suit can make a powerful statement.
Huggies & Hoops: The Finishing Touch
Earrings have gained unprecedented mass appeal in men's fashion, with huggies and hoops leading the way. NORVEI’s collection includes earrings adorned with gemstone embellishments and charms—an endless way to express your style.
Huggies
Huggies are small, close-fitting hoops that ‘hug’ the earlobe. They're versatile and discreet, making them perfect for men new to earrings or who prefer a minimalist aesthetic.
Choose Huggies with subtle gemstone accents or plain metal designs to keep it clean and classic.
Earrings & Charms
Huggies are ideal for minimalism, but earrings with charms, like wings and crucifixes, make a bolder statement. Whether you're dressing up or down, these earrings will define your fit and add clarity to your style.
Earrings can be styled individually or as a pair, offering endless versatility. Wear one for a bold, asymmetrical statement or a balanced look. They're perfect for elevating tailored outfits with a refined touch or adding creativity to casual wear with charm hoops.
Building Your Collection
When building your jewellery collection, focusing on versatility and quality is essential. Each piece should complement the others, allowing you to mix and match effortlessly. Here are a few tips for creating a cohesive collection:
Start with the Basics:
Begin with one chain, bracelet, and a pair of huggies or earrings. These pieces will serve as the foundation of your collection.
Choose Your Metal:
Sticking to one metal, whether gold or silver, is most commonly seen; however, don't feel pigeonholed. Exploring and mixing metals can help you define your style. NORVEI's collections make it easy to build in either finish. The choice is yours.
Add Personal Touches:
Pendants, for example, are perfect for making your chains stand out, feel extra personalised and more meaningful. Don't overlook the details—the details make your style yours.
