Welcome to Men’s Jewelry Week. Be sure to check out my post on men’s wedding rings that prompted this.

Men’s jewelry is back. New styles and metals have given the industry new life. This week, I’ll touch on 5 different categories of men’s jewelry with my thoughts, and my top picks. Start thinking about your holiday gifts now. Jewelry is always the best thing to get out of the way first!

Finally, here are some jewelry type accessories that are excellent gifts for men. While a necklace or bracelet could be a wedding ring alternative, these certainly are not. But, if you simply will not get your man into traditional jewelry, but want to get him something nice, these are some great options.

Concrete and cork cufflinks. I simply can’t get over this unique combination of materials. These handmade cufflinks are made from real cork, encircled by espresso-colored concrete and then set in sterling silver. The contrast in texture and material of bright silver, industrial concrete and earthy cork provides an interesting focal point and will bring an edgy elegance to any French cuff. $100

Be ready to shed some light on any dark situation with this handy flashlight/key ring combo. The beam will direct you to the keyhole on your front door, or even help you change the fuse under your dashboard. Pretty convenient, huh? Get one for a friend, keep one for yourself–either way, and have it engraved with initials to complete the gift. $14.99

COLIBRI Stainless Steel Carbon Fiber Business Card Holder. As a professional, you need to be prepared when people start asking your business cards. To look even more excellent, you would need a brilliant business card holder as well. Therefore you might put this one into your consideration. It is a stainless steel card holder which is decorated with the black carbon fiber. $39.99

I really like the look of this stainless steel and titanium money clip with structured grid mesh pattern. High class, yet rugged. $129.95

This black leather flask with a hex monogram is the perfect gift for him. The stainless steel flask holds 5 oz. $20.99

Real men don’t use disposables. Get him his own, high quality, personalized zippo lighter. $22.99

Contemporary key ring with carbon fiber inlaid, further complemented by a notched and polished edge for a subtle touch of shine. $50.
