Say it with jewellery this Father’s Day
We wouldn’t think twice about buying our mother’s jewellery, but it may not be our first port of call when thinking of a gift for Dad. Contemporary jewellery and a resurgence in the demand for vintage watches make it much easier to find “wearable” accessories that complement your dad’s aesthetic.
Receiving a gift of jewellery from your child feels poignant and meaningful. Your father will know you put time, effort and thought into choosing just the right piece. What’s more, this sentimental gift (unlike other popular Father’s Day offerings) will last a lifetime.
Types of jewellery for Dad
If your dad enjoys wearing jewellery, follow his lead when it comes to choosing him jewellery for Father’s Day. Perhaps he’s never without a necklace or a ring. Take note of the type of jewellery he wears, then find a piece that reminds you of him. If he doesn’t tend to accessorise, make your first gift of jewellery subtle – a trendy leather bracelet or a handsome watch.
Materials matter. Stick to the precious metal you know your father wears, whether that’s a traditional yellow gold or a white metal like palladium, platinum or white gold. If he doesn’t accessorise, there are plenty of masculine materials within the modern jewellery landscape with universal appeal. Explore pieces crafted from carbon fibre, ceramic, titanium and tungsten, which come in attractive hues of grey and edgy black.
Where to shop for men’s jewellery
If you’ve decided to spoil your dad with Father’s Day jewellery this year, the next step is finding the right jeweller. If you prefer to browse for gifts in person, head to the high street. The leading brand jewellers will cater to a range of budgets, and as Father’s Day approaches, you can explore their curated selections. Don’t neglect your local independent jewellers. From vintage finds to unique, bespoke pieces, you may find jewellery that feels more personal and sentimental when you head to an independent jeweller.
Online jewellery shopping has many benefits. Flexible, you can browse far and wide when you have time, and you’ll have far more options at your fingertips. Use your search engine wisely, streamlining your selection by understanding the type of jewellery, material and style he’d like. From high-end to recycled and pre-loved, you’ll find jewellery for Father’s Day that ticks all your boxes. Access fashion-forward designs for the trendy dad or track down a niche genre of artisanal jewellery with selling platforms like Etsy.
