Jewelry: a Unique Anniversary Gift for Man

Jewelry is a unique anniversary gift for man. There's nothing more elegant than the sight of a man in a beautifully tailored suit, displaying just the right length of snowy white cuffs, accented with the perfect pair of cufflinks.

Now we come to that question of a ring. Whether or not he wears a wedding ring, even if he wants to keep wearing that college ring, there's still a tempting variety of styles to consider.

Estate jewelry offers a selection of rings that suit the modern man who appreciates good wine, fine paintings, and excellent craftsmanship. It may be diamond set or made entirely of gold, but either way, rings offer another opportunity to express a man's personality. Is he bold and outgoing?

Choose a ring to match. Is he elegant and sophisticated? You'll find a design with quiet, refined lines to echo his style. If he works with his hands - look for a ring that is smooth all around, and doesn't rise too high off the hand. If it's a ring he's going to wear after hours, a bit of flash is in order, perfect to spark a quietly refined dark suit or a tuxedo.

For formal wear, an elegant man wears his own stud set, even if his tuxedo is rented for the occasion. Taking the place of buttons, studs offer men one of the rare chances to wear jewelry on a formal shirt. A stud set may be black onyx or another gemstone, set in gold or platinum. Many stud sets have matching cufflinks but you may also look for a set to complement his best cufflinks.

And finally, of course, we come to men's watches. There's no doubt that your man already owns a watch - perhaps even two. They take care of the need to know what time it is. But a wardrobe of watches would delight any man and here the sky is the limit. He doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy a watch full of complications - that's the watch word for all those dials that tell more than just the time.

Even if he never times so much as a three-minute egg, there's very few men who don't like to see all those little dials on the watch face. Moon phasewatches offer wonderful design opportunities as do watches that have stopwatch functions. The choice of numerals - Arabic or Roman - gives a watch face character as does the shape of the watch case itself.

Round is certainly the basic shape, but it's just the beginning. Rectangular or "tank" shape watches are elegant while tonneau shapes that evoke a cask of wine definitely have a masculine look, and offer a nice alternative to the classic round watch.

Stainless steel watches are the basic black of the watch world. These rugged styles are attractive and easy to wear. A wardrobe of men's watches would include both a steel bracelet watch as well as a fine gold watch on a leather band and perhaps a platinum watch set with diamonds.

No one waits for his retirement to acquire a beautiful gold watch - what was that all about anyway? Just when it didn't matter what time it was, the man about to enjoy his leisure was given a gold watch. Today, the man enjoys his gold watch while he's on the job. How practical, and how beautiful is this anniversary gift for man.

Now, both of you can have a wish list of jewelry items you'd like to be given for your birthday, your anniversary, the next business deal, or just to say those wonderful words, "I love you."
