Men's Jewelry Styles
Men's jewelry, although it may not be as diverse as women's, certainly has several styles all its own.
Surfer Styles
Laid-back guys who prefer a hike in the woods or a day at the beach to a trek through the city will find something for them in this style. Natural fibers and materials are the way to go. Keep in mind that this is a great casual look but it might not fly in a corporate environment.
Tribal
Tribal jewelry usually has a lot of intricate designs in antiqued silver. You'll also see a lot of geometric shapes and beading; there's some overlap with the "surfer dude" look but expect more stones like hematite and tiger's eye. Like the surfer look, this style is fine on weekends or if your workplace is casual, but it might be frowned upon in some corporate offices.
Links and Metal
Let's face it -- some guys just like chains, and that's ok! Skip the Mr. T. look and go with just one piece for a bit of shiny style. Where you wear your chains -- as a bracelet, a necklace, or both -- is up to you, so instead here are some of the most popular chain styles and metals for both necklaces and bracelets. This look is a little dressier than the above styles; you can wear any of these to work, as long as you limit it to one necklace and one bracelet, tops. Most men's jewelry is available in a variety of metals: yellow gold,  white gold, silver, stainless steel, platinum and titanium. White metals are considered less flashy; yellow gold is attention-grabbing, so wear it sparingly.

WWJBW? If classy and timeless is your style, the first thing to ask yourself is, what would James Bond wear? For the office, for formal occasions, or for guys who just like to look sharp all the time.
