International Men’s Day

Perhaps it was Bob Marley who articulated it best when he was quoted saying, “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” Whether you are a man trying to make a difference in the world or someone who wants to honour an incredible guy, International Men’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate great men. 

On 19 November, you are encouraged to celebrate positive male role models and get involved with the community as a way of continuing the spirit of progress. Positive male role models come in a plethora of forms; from fathers to father figures, business mentors to sports coaches, brothers to friends who are like family. Whatever role he fulfils, this is the day to recognise him and send him a piece that encapsulates his unique impact on your life. 

For the sports lover

A sporty guy needs something that can either withstand the physical activity of sprinting around the field or that can hold out during a more intense activity — spectating. This carbon pop bracelet with black leather and carbon fibre is a cool and casual piece that incorporates the new age material of carbon fibre. It’s sleek enough to wear with jeans and a shirt but hardy during a high pressure game.

For the man with an edge

He’s sophisticated with a smirk. One guy you always have to keep an eye on because it’s too fascinating to look away. Show him his edge is what you admire most about him with the Colorama book necklace. In IP plated steel, this necklace is an iconic piece. The pendant swivels open to reveal a collection of hand-painted colour chips in a cascading gradient. It’s proof that there’s more to the necklace, and him, than meets the eye. 

For the traveller 

These globe cufflinks in sterling silver will ensure he’s always got a piece of his travels with him. They feature rotating longitude and latitude lines stamped onto a mosaic of semi-precious stones. It’s a luxurious iteration of a world globe that will have him itching to pack his bags. 

For the sustainability guru

Reusable bags, a glass water bottle and a love for sustainable products — this man wants to create a greener world. This vetro recycle bracelet is a way to commend his endearing commitment to shrugging off single-use products. The colourful beads incorporated into the macrame weave have been made from recycled bottles, although the quality and finish would never give it away. 

For the lover of colours 

He’s a colourful guy and makes life feel brighter, so return the favour with a gift that really appeals to him. Due to the natural variation of the stone, each apatite signet ring is unique. Set in sterling silver, the vibrant blue of the apatite stone makes this a stand out piece. Just like him. 

For the eco-warrior

This helping hands pin is not just a piece of luxury men’s jewellery, it is a message. Any man who worries at the sight of litter and has concerns over the melting ice caps will relate to it. The pin aims to inspire the world to come together and help fight the climate crisis. If this message is important to him, this accessory will show you support his cause and admire his want to spread positive change.

For that special touch

Every man is different. The true way to capture his spirit and show the impact he has had on your life is with a piece that is uniquely his. Personalised jewellery shows that you went the extra mile for him because there is no better day to do it than International Men’s Day.
