Christmas Jewellery Gifts for Him

Christmas presents for men tend to be socks, aftershave or something he'll use once. A chain is none of those: he'll wear it on Boxing Day and most days after.

Everything in this collection is under £25, and nearly all of it is plain chain. Cuban, Figaro, box and Byzantine, as necklaces and bracelets from dainty to chunky, plus a few pairs of hoops. It's 316L stainless steel, silver or 18k gold plated, with every chain cut and finished by us, so it doesn't tarnish and survives the gym, the shower and the rest of the year.

Necklaces are sold by length from 35cm to 90cm and bracelets in 2cm steps. If he owns a chain already, measure it; if not, 6mm is the most popular width to start with. Order in good time if you want it under the tree, and if the product offers a gift box, add it. It saves you wrapping it.

When should I order?

Pieces ship from stock, but December is busy, so order in good time if it needs to be under the tree. Nothing on this collection needs engraving, so there's no extra making time.

What's the safest choice?

A plain chain bracelet in 6mm, the most popular width, with the 4cm extender chosen on the product for some room. It doesn't need a neck size and it goes with a watch.

What if I don't know their size?

Find a necklace they already wear and measure it end to end, clasp included. That's the length to buy. Our necklaces are sold in centimetres from 35cm to 90cm, and you can add the optional 4 inch extender on the product if you'd like some room either way. We can't tell you what size someone is, but the chain on their neck can.

How do I get a bracelet size without asking?

Borrow a bracelet they wear and measure it end to end. Ours are sold in 2cm steps, and if you'd like the 4cm extender, choose it on the product and we fit it before it ships, which gives you some room if you're working from a guess.

Will it tarnish or turn their skin green?

Not the steel. 316L stainless steel doesn't tarnish and has no copper in it to leave a green line, so it looks the same next year as it does out of the box. It doesn't react with skin for most wearers.

Does it come gift boxed?

Day collars come gift boxed as standard. On other pieces, where a gift box is offered you'll see it as an option on the product; add it there before it goes in your basket. Steel pieces without a box come in a black velvet pouch.
