Gifts for the Manly

Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:

 

Help! I’d love to get my husband a Valentine’s Day gift, but I can’t see him wearing jewelry. He’s very masculine—not macho, but just very manly. (One of his better qualities, if you ask me :>.) So cufflinks are out. One of my friends suggested something in leather, but that’s not him, either. Maybe a tie bar, if it’s not too too, if you know what I mean. Or maybe you have other ideas for me?

Dear RIO:

 

Oh, honey, not to worry! Of course we have tie bars. You know, tie bars were originally invented for men, since for a long time they were the main ones wearing ties (though some women have always enjoyed them). Try one of these, from Stuller.

I know most of us use cards these days, but some folks still love our money clips. https://www.stuller.com/products/84429/?groupId=93076&recommendationSource=SiteSearch

Another thing that might be great for your guy is a Figaro chain. They’re simple, elegant (okay, forget I said “elegant,” just stick with “simple”), and the wide ones are plenty manly.

And you cannot go wrong with a curb chain.

So there you have it! Get ready to be a hero. 

Oh, and honey? Next time, it is all about you. (Oh, please. Of course it is.)
