Sure, diamonds are a girl’s best friend – but it turns out that men are pretty well acquainted with them, too. The long relationship between men and gemstones dates back to around 1600 BC when the Greeks began using emeralds, rubies and sapphires imported via the Silk Road in jewellery. While they’ve since dotted crowns and ceremonial garb, it’s with the recent rise of streetwear that sensational jewels and watches have fully infiltrated the men’s style scene, says Mr Maxim De Turckheim, Head Jewellery Buyer at MR PORTER. “Celebrities such as Pharrell and Tyler, the Creator have been at the forefront of this trend, wearing custom-made necklaces with huge rocks (more than 100 carats) as well as bracelets and rings full of big, coloured stones. Now even the most classically dressed man is starting to think about whether he can rock a gemstone – and he can certainly start small with a single stone pendant.” From architectural ear pieces to soft, organic forms, blackened diamonds or technicoloured rainbow gradients, there’s a way-to-wear for everyone.
