In recent years, jewellery has started to play a major role as a statement in men’s fashion. Celebrities, of course, lead the way in shaping the new trends as we see more earrings subtly shining from photos and more chunky chains making a bold appearance on the red carpet.

Jewellery has undoubtedly entered the modern man’s wardrobe and is fiercely shaping personal style. But what trends have been making waves recently, and how can you incorporate them as your own unique statement piece?

In this article, we will show you how to step up your jewellery game and turn your pieces into a signature look.

Big Bold Chunky Chains

One thing is for sure. Despite being a bold statement, chunky chains have proven to be a versatile piece that can go well with many styles. Icons like Harry Style have proven they can be incorporated seamlessly into a colourful retro aesthetic that challenges masculinity stereotypes. A$AP Rocky, on the other hand,  chooses chunky chains as part of his “quiet luxury” style, turning their bold nature into a more refined jewellery choice.

These pieces are at their best in casual vibes, paired with a simple T-shirt, but, at the same time, they can do wonders for your style when you combine them with a button-down shirt.

We advise you to experiment with material and length and even try out layering but always keep the rest of the outfit simple to make sure you keep the balance intact, sleek, and daring.

Signet Rings: A Timeless Power Move

A symbol of status and heritage, the signet returns in full force from the pages of fashion history as a modern must-have. For David Beckham and Drake, it is effortless sophistication and undeniable rugged masculinity. And we dare not argue with that!

Gold or silver – it’s your call, but to really embrace the trend, opt for contemporary pieces with engravings or gemstones. You will immediately upgrade your outfit game.

You can wear it solo if you prefer to make a subtle statement or stack it with other rings if your personal style is bolder and more provocative.

Build Your Persona with Pendant Necklaces

Keep it classy or awaken the eccentric in you—men’s pendants are your new thing. Celebrities like Lil Uzi Vet love them bold, eye-catching, and jewel-encrusted, while Leonardo DiCaprio prefers a sophisticated look with minimalist pieces.

The true beauty of the trend, however, is in the pendant’s versatility. You can choose one that best reflects your personality. Be it symbolic charms, vintage lockets or sleek geometric shapes,  you can wear them over a T-shirt or let them peek out from your open-collar shirt. The chameleon of men’s jewellery.

Earrings: Your Not-So-Hidden Charm

We haven’t seen them in a while—at least not seriously since the 90s. But now, hoops and studs are making a huge comeback. Zayn Malik, Lil Nas X, and Paul Mescal have been the main suspects, rocking the look in casual wear and red-carpet appearances.

Earrings are an endless way to personalise your look. Edgy or sophisticated? It’s your choice. A simple stud will be enough to add a subtle touch of visual interest to your outfit. A small hoop will become your irresistable charm, your effortless cool.

Feeling adventurous? Stack them. Mix and match. Create contrast. Dare to experiment with all the options. Combine them with your streetwear and your tailored pieces. Whatever you do, you will steal the show.

Cufflinks: Not Just For A Special Occasion

Once a black-tie-event must-have, cufflinks have become an everyday affair. They have been spotted with Daniel Craig and John Legend serving as small, impactful details that seamlessly elevate their semi-formal outfits.

A classic silver design is always a safe bet, but a man who is daring and bold understands that being unique means experimenting with shapes and materials. Pair modern cufflinks with a relaxed blazer and an open-collar shirt, and you will never be wrong.

Celebrity Trends Shaping Modern Masculinity

It’s not simply about accessorising. The modern man’s jewellery pieces are about individuality, the new meaning of masculinity, and your ultimate personal flair.

Bold, sophisticated or laid-back, channel yourself with pieces that are no longer reserved for formal events. Make a statement every day. Get inspired by celebrities and set your own trends. The right jewellery piece, combined with your unique style, will become your new staple.

After all, when it comes to style, it really is all in the details.
