6 MEN’S JEWELLERY BRANDS WE ARE LOVING AT THE MOMENT

The popularity of men’s jewellery has seen plenty of highs and lows over the course of fashion history, but we’re happy to report that we seem to be in the midst of a high point right now. Our favourite brands of the moment are producing a diverse assortment of pieces, ranging from the stylishly ornate to the stunningly simple. If you’re looking for something cheesy or poorly made, look elsewhere – these men’s jewellery brands are producing some of the coolest, well-executed pieces around.

Johnny Ramli

Johnny Ramli’s jewellery is handmade from materials like oxidized silver, copper, gold, bone, horn and precious stones. The pieces combine rock ‘n’ roll charm with rustic metalwork and the designer’s signature religious imagery, sitting comfortably at the intersection between spiritual influences, Asian design and Western fashion. Johnny Ramli’s statement-making jewellery can be found online and in 12 countries around the world, including America, Japan, Israel, Italy, the UK and France.

Ugo Cacciatori

Ugo Cacciatori started out designing women’s clothing in the late 90s, but ventured into jewellery in 2001 and has never looked back. By 2003, his pieces could be found for sale at Harvey Nichols in London, Barneys in New York and Antonia Antonioli in Milan. Ugo Cacciatori’s silver creations are romantic and adventurous, full of skulls, stones and shells, like something that came from a dreamy fantasy world. Gents like Karl Lagerfeld, Jay Z and Keith Richards are fans.

Thomas Sabo

The Rebel At Heart collection from Thomas Sabo is designed for both the renegade and the dandy. Any man who prefers accessories that are confident, cutting-edge and full of attitude will find something to love about Rebel At Heart. The collection’s signature piece is the enigmatic skull mask, with its elaborately designed cut-out look and black pavé Zirconia. In addition to the assortment of skulls, the range incorporates leather, obsidian, silver, rosary-style beads, dragons and crosses.

Luis Morais

Luis Morais’ jewellery-making career began in 1998 in Miami Beach, when he saw a bracelet he liked in a magazine and made his own DIY version. More than a decade later, the brand still carries that spirit in its unique and locally handmade pieces. Morais’ casual rock ‘n’ roll vibe means plenty of skulls and crosses, but they’re always accompanied by chic touches of gold, diamonds, gems and crocodile skin or bright pops of colour. Some even feature recycled vinyl from old records.

Miansai

A single bracelet started it all. That one bracelet, created in Miami in 2008, spawned Miansai, and more than five years later, founder and creative director Michael Saiger has turned his vision into a timeless and tasteful jewellery brand. Over 30 skilled craftsmen and artisans use fine metals and exotic skins to craft Miansai’s pieces, which range from necklaces to bracelets to belts and often feature anchors or fish hooks.

Le Gramme

Le Gramme borrows its name from the universal measure of unit. The jewellery is contemporary, minimalist and masculine, with clean lines and no details except for small, unobtrusive engravings. Each bracelet is made from recycled silver and named after its density: Le 7g, Le 15g, Le 21g, Le 27g, Le 33g and Le 41g. The collection comes in 3 sizes / 6 widths / 6 basis weights, so you can mix and match to create a personalised statement.
