Style tip: Keep it manly

A real head-turner trend is a mix of material and unusual stones with precious jewellery. Materials such as leather and wood, combined with gemstones such as a tiger's eye or cat's eye, form the new trends for the current season. Look out for pieces that are personalised. Every man should have basics in his jewellery collect ion such as an everyday wear pendant, a statement bracelet, a ring and a nice wrist watch.

Style tip: Small touches

When it comes to men's jewellery, the little touches can make a big difference. Cufflinks are still one of the classiest accessories that a man can carry. Brooches too are a real style statement. They add an element of bling to a man's outfit. Sherwani buttons on a kurta can give a royal look and even a bracelet with a vintage look can be a man's thing.

Style tip: Be subtle

The overall trend that rules for men's jewellery is a play of rugged textures, as well as matte/brushed finishes. Men like detailing in jewellery, but it should not be in your face or loud. Animal motifs with lions, panthers and eagles are also trendy. If you're opting for jewellery with gemstones, black onyx, turquoise, lapis lazuli and blue sapphire are the best picks.

Style tip: Bejewelled bow ties

For western weddings and functions, the new trend is to wear a bow tie studded with black and white diamonds on fabric. However, for Indian weddings, a brooch designed with diamonds and enamel is still trendy. When it comes to daily wear, personalised cufflinks are popular.

Style tip: Coloured stones

People have become individualistic and they like their style to stand out. That's why men are looking for different colours of gemstones and have become more experimental with their choices. When it comes to men's jewellery, less is always more. Minimalistic designs will continue to dominate.
