Fun Fashion: Accessorizing for Men

As a man, it can be hard to find accessories that you truly adore. Sure there are watches and wallets that are commonly marketed as the top kinds of accessories for men, but you want to accessorize in a way that shows off your personal style and speaks to your creative fashion sense. That’s where men’s jewelry comes in. There are so many different ways that men can accessorize an outfit with jewelry, from the simplest of looks to the most outlandish of ensembles. Just look at DrakeJustin BieberCardi B and even trendsetter Kim Kardashian.

If you’re someone who’s looking to experiment with men’s jewelry, one essential piece to have as a part of your wardrobe is a Cuban link chain. A Cuban link chain is a form of necklace that easily pairs with many men’s fashion styles. At Liry's Jewelry, they understand the importance of expressing your unique style through accessories. 

I had a chance to interview Daniel Carvajal, Vice President of Liry’s Jewelry, about why men should consider incorporating jewelry into their style. Liry’s Jewelry is a family owned and operated company, specializing in men’s jewelry, since 1989.

Why should men consider accessorizing what they wear?

            I think it's an important part of feeling good. Having a nice piece of gold or silver on your wrist, neck or finger brings any outfit to another level. It’s also a nice way to add a bit of sophistication, and can make any outfit look a little nicer.

 

- Why can it be hard for men to find accessories that fit their style?

            I think it’s a few things. Price obviously can be a daunting thing, especially when you compare what a celebrity has on. Yes we have pieces over $70,000, but a nice $200 silver chain can really add a nice element to your style and be a lower cost entry to jewelry. I think it can also be a little uncomfortable if you are in your early 20’s and have never worn any jewelry, it can feel a little strange to put on a chain or bracelet. Finally, all the choices I think can be a bit overwhelming. There are hundreds of different style chains and bracelets, thousands of different rings, and equally as many pendants.

 

- What are some examples of accessories that are good ways for men to experiment with wearing jewelry?

I think a bracelet or necklace is the best place to start. You can never go wrong with a smaller Miami cuban link, in the 4mm-7mm range. For chains, I would go with something in the 20-24” range, 22” being the most popular. Bracelet length really depends on your build, talking with us or your local jeweler would be a good place to figure out what size bracelet you need.

If you are truly new to jewelry, starting with sterling silver is never a bad bet. It is a fraction of the price of a gold piece and will give you a good idea if you actually like wearing bracelets or chains. We will be the first to admit, some people just don’t like wearing anything on their neck or wrist. Gold is a great option if you want to treat yourself or want to purchase something that holds its value.

Figaro and rope chains are also great options that are a bit lighter than a cuban link, which means a lower price point (in both gold and silver).

 

- What sets Liry's apart from other jewelers?

I think our commitment to quality and honesty. We import the majority of our pieces right from our Italian manufacturer, and make our handmade Miami cuban links right here in our store. We will always choose higher quality over cheaper alternatives. We are also up front with what you are purchasing. We sell silver separate from our gold, to prevent confusion. If you are buying a 14 karat gold piece from us, it's 14 karat gold. If you buy silver, it's genuine 925 sterling silver. We stand behind that, all our gold karat, silver, and diamond carat is guaranteed for life.
