Robert Alton to the Rescue with the Ultimate Gift Guide for Him!
Boyfriends: no matter how much you love them, and no matter how well you think you know them, they’re notoriously difficult to shop for. You’ve been doing your finest detective work all year–enlisting the help of his parents and buddies, eyeing his shopping habits, and trying to bait some answers out of him–but now it’s almost Christmas and you’ve still got nothing.
Don’t beat yourself up. Even the most attentive partners need a hand with gift ideas sometimes. Thankfully, the team at Robert Alton specializes in exactly these sorts of scenarios.
We know that all men are different, and yours is one-of-a-kind. The good news is, we can work with that--it's kind of our specialty. Read on to explore our wide variety of jewelry and find a thoughtful gift for your boyfriend, no matter his style, personality, or familiarity with jewelry.
Link Bracelets
Looking for a thoughtful gift for your boyfriend with a keen sense of fashion? You’ve probably heard of link chains (they feature in plenty of song lyrics), but link bracelets haven’t achieved the same notoriety…yet!
Trust us: these sleek styles are about to have their moment. Update your boyfriend's aesthetic and keep him on the cutting edge with the timely gift of a link bracelet.
White Diamonds
We carry a multitude of styles, but let’s begin with the classics. White diamonds have enjoyed centuries of popularity due to their radiance, hardiness, and versatility. We’ve paired them with two-toned stainless steel to cultivate a collection of contemporary motifs.
If you can get a sense of his preferred color scheme, you’re off to a good start. While these bracelets are designed to pair well with most outfits, you might want to check out his closet regardless to see whether yellow stainless steel or white stainless steel would provide the best boost to his look.
Also take into account the bracelet’s size and weight. While all of our men’s bracelets are engineered for maximum durability, some styles are larger and heavier than others.
Consider what your boyfriend might do while wearing his bracelet. Is he going to wear it while pitching a pickup baseball game? A thinner link bracelet would be best! It may have narrower links, but don’t worry–the white diamond accents ensure it won’t go unnoticed.
On the other hand, if he’s going to use it to class up his date-night outfits, he might prefer a more substantial look and feel. In that case, go big with a bracelet such as the one below, which features yellow stainless steel as the focal point, with subtler white stainless steel and white diamond accents.
Blue Diamonds and Black Diamonds
Looking for a thoughtful gift for an adventurous boyfriend? Step outside of the box with colored diamonds! These link bracelets are finished with blue and black gemstones, offering all the timeless appeal of a traditional diamond with an edgy, modern twist.
In one corner, we have white stainless steel with carbon fiber accents and blue diamond inlays. In the other corner, we have a black stainless steel link bracelet featuring a chunky box-chain design and black diamond accents. When making your decision, consider which men’s bracelet would bring the most to your boyfriend’s wardrobe.
The all-black bracelet is a great option for a man who likes to wear lighter colors. He can create striking contrast by simply clicking it around his wrist. Meanwhile, our blue diamond bracelets will add a much-needed pop to a neutral outfit. If your boyfriend tends to stick to basic shades, consider adding a subtle splash of color.
They’re both strong contenders for your boyfriend’s new favorite accessory, so why not purchase both? It’s always nice to have more than one bracelet in the jewelry box, especially given the skyrocketing popularity of stacked jewelry. These bracelets could easily be paired and stacked on one wrist.
Whether you opt for clean-cut classics or daring designs, link bracelets are a fantastic way to freshen up your boyfriend's style. Easy to snap on, wearable with just about anything, and fashion-forward, he'll utilize them for years to come.
Men’s Pendant Necklaces
If you’re a jewelry enthusiast yourself, you know that one of jewelry’s many benefits is that it allows us to communicate wordlessly. It’s an ideal way to display your interests, passions, and character without having to introduce yourself to everyone you meet (that would be a lot of handshakes).
For too long, men have been severely lacking in options for unique jewelry. The team here at Robert Alton kept this at the forefront of our mission as we designed our men’s chain necklaces and pendants. Each of our men’s necklaces was created to give the wearer an opportunity to express his individuality.
As you search for a thoughtful gift for your boyfriend, consider a men’s pendant. Show him how much you appreciate the person he is with a gift tailored to his one-of-a-kind personality.
Dog Tag Chains
Originating in military tradition, dog tag chains convey toughness and valor. Does your boyfriend hit the gym every morning? Is he the type to help an elderly woman carry her groceries to the car? Whether he exhibits physical strength, strength of character, or both, a dog tag chain will convey how much you appreciate his courage.
This handsome black stainless steel dog tag also makes an exemplary gift for a first-time jewelry wearer. The angular cut and black diamonds give it an unmistakably masculine aesthetic. In addition, the stainless steel chain will resist discoloration and corrosion, so he doesn’t have to worry about taking it off as he leaps from one feat of strength to the next.
Stainless Steel Cross Pendants
We're all familiar with a man who lives in his favorite tee and jeans. If you’re dating him, you’re aware that just because he looks simple on the surface doesn’t mean he lacks depth. The better you get to know him, the more complexity he reveals.
The same could be said for this stainless steel cross pendant. The classic cross shape is elevated by treated black diamond details and a riveted finish. It gets bonus points for that sharp black-and-white contrast.
Unique Men’s Pendants
Here’s a quick exercise to assist your search for a thoughtful gift for your boyfriend.
First, close your eyes and ensure you’re focused–no distractions! Once you’re centered, picture your first date. Think about those very first conversations, and your early impressions as you got to know him. Now, open your eyes and jot down the first five words that come to mind.
If you end up with words like bold, unique, rebellious, or quirky, you’re in luck, because we’ve got just the selection of pendants for you.
For a man who leads his pack, try this lion head men’s pendant. It’s intricately crafted from yellow stainless steel, and the magnificent mane is studded with white diamonds for a fun and flashy flex. Our praying hands medallion, intricately crafted from yellow stainless steel featuring a white stainless steel frame around a precisely carved motif, is another great choice for a unique men’s pendant.
Surgical Steel Earrings
If you need a thoughtful gift for a boyfriend with pierced ears, look no further. All of our earrings are made with surgical stainless steel, which is scratch resistant, corrosion resistant, and will not tarnish or discolor. He can wear them skydiving or surfing (or just Netflix-and-chilling).
Men’s Diamond Earrings
The holiday season is meant to be merry and bright, and what’s merrier or brighter than diamonds? Maybe the polished stainless steel we set those diamonds in, but we digress. Even our black colored pieces have enough shine for the season.
A man with pierced ears is a man unafraid to buck convention. You love that about him, and so do we. That’s why we designed our black diamond earrings. Choose from white stainless steel or black stainless steel settings to best fit his tastes.
