Men's Jewelry

The collection focuses on the pieces men wear most: rings and earrings. Men's wedding bands include diamond designs such as channel-set, double-row and single-solitaire bands. Men's gold wedding bands are plain solid gold in half-round, comfort-fit, hammer-finish and Celtic-knot milgrain styles. Men's rings cover gemstone and statement designs, such as a lion head ring set with diamond and ruby or a blue sapphire ring. Men's diamond earrings range from round solitaire studs to bezel-set trillion designs. Every piece is made in solid gold or platinum, and each product page lists the metals that piece is offered in.

Start with how he works and lives. A plain gold band has no stones to protect, so it suits anyone who works with his hands. A diamond band adds sparkle; channel-set diamonds sit between two walls of metal, which keeps them low and protected, while a solitaire band carries one larger stone. Next choose the profile: half-round bands have a domed top, and comfort-fit bands are rounded on the inside for easier wear. Finish changes the look: hammer-finish and milgrain textures read more rugged than high polish. Finally, match the metal to the engagement ring if he wants the pair to look related, or choose freely if not.

A comfort-fit band is rounded on the inside, where it touches the finger, instead of flat. The curved inner edge slides over the knuckle more easily and leaves less of a pressure line on the finger during long wear. It suits men who are new to wearing a ring, especially in wider bands. Because a comfort-fit band uses more metal on the inside, it can feel slightly roomier or tighter than a standard band of the same size, depending on the finger, so measure carefully with our sizing guide before ordering. Comfort-fit is a choice about feel, not appearance; from the outside it can look the same as a standard band.

Gold is offered in 10K, 14K and 18K, depending on the design. 10K contains 41.7 percent pure gold, 14K contains 58.3 percent and 18K contains 75 percent. Lower karat gold is harder and costs less; higher karat gold shows a deeper color and feels slightly softer. Yellow gold reads classic, white gold reads modern and cool, and 14K rose gold sits between the two. Platinum is naturally white, dense and heavier on the hand, a feel some men prefer in a band. Every metal will collect fine surface scratches with daily wear. Textured finishes such as hammered or milgrain hide them better than a high polish.

Every ring is made to his size, which you choose when you order. Our sizing guide explains how to measure, and a local jeweler can size his finger in a few minutes. Measure at the end of the day, at a normal temperature, since fingers swell with heat and shrink in the cold. Size the knuckle as well as the base, because the ring has to pass over the knuckle. Wide bands, common in men's jewelry, fit snugger than narrow bands of the same size, so measure with a band of similar width if you can. If you are buying a surprise, borrow a ring he already wears on the same finger.

Yes. Every diamond and gemstone is a real stone, and each product page states whether it is natural or lab-grown. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, chemically and physically the same as mined diamonds, grown in a laboratory instead of formed underground. Both appear in this collection; for example, an emerald-cut solitaire band is offered with a lab-grown diamond and a channel-set band with natural diamonds. Catalog pieces are sold to a published specification and do not come with an individual grading report. If he wants a specific loose diamond with its own report, email concierge@diamondandsapphire.com and we will talk through the options.

A round solitaire stud, worn singly or as a pair in a simple prong or bezel setting, is the classic choice. Weights are written as ct tw, the combined weight of both earrings, so a 1 ct tw pair holds about half a carat in each ear. That is a clear, visible size without being loud. Smaller weights read discreet, and larger weights read bolder. A bezel setting wraps metal around the stone's edge, which protects it and gives a cleaner, more masculine outline; our men's diamond earrings include bezel-set trillion designs. Backs and closures vary by piece, so check the product page details before ordering.

Men's jewelry starts from $329, and every price shown is complete and all-in, with complimentary, fully insured shipping. Plain gold bands sit at the entry end of the range. Price rises with width and metal weight, since a wide band uses much more gold than a narrow one, and with the size and number of diamonds in a band or earring. 18K gold and platinum typically cost more than 10K or 14K gold for the same design. Natural and lab-grown diamonds are priced differently, so compare both where a design offers them. Decide on budget first, then choose between more metal, a higher karat, or larger diamonds.

Most pieces are made to order and ship in about 5-10 business days. Ready-to-ship pieces leave in 2-3 business days.
