Minimalist jewellery is still firmly on trend so there is something for everyone!
Let's dive into the latest trends in jewellery for men in 2024!
1. Chunky Signet Rings
Signet rings have been around for centuries. Many may consider signet rings old-fashioned, however, they are having a moment again, especially bold statement rings that stand out! Don't be afraid to deck your fingers out with more than one.
Before handwriting was a thing, signet rings were traditionally used to sign off and seal documents and therefore are always totally unique to the individual. Many men still choose to wear signet rings as a classy fashion statement as well as a nod to their family heritage or even to their school, army or other significant groups they belong to.
In 2024, men are opting for unique designs and are expanding beyond the traditional family crest or initials. These days you can find signet rings in a variety of shapes, metals and finishes with options to customise the design on the face of the ring.
At Off the Map, we have a wide range of traditional and unique signet rings for men that can be fully customised with your own design, initials, coordinates and more. The sky is the limit!
2. Minimalism is still in
While we are seeing much more daring looks in 2024, minimalism is still very much on trend when it comes to jewellery. This is a great trend for beginner jewellery wearers to jump on.
Clean lines, understated details, and refined craftsmanship characterize this trend, making it a favourite among those with a penchant for sleek sophistication.
Think slim chains, discreet bracelets, and subtle rings crafted from high-quality materials like sterling silver, titanium and gold. These understated pieces effortlessly elevate any look giving a normal outfit a stylish edge.
3. More Necklaces
Chain necklaces with pendants are another accessory for men that will be on trend in 2024. Chunky and heavy chains and statement necklaces are as popular as ever. Chain necklaces can be worn on their own with a button-down shirt for a more minimal look or layered with other chains of various lengths, weights and metals. Unique or traditional pendants can be added to the chains to express style and to make an impression.
There is a range of traditional pendants that are having a fashion moment, such as St. Christopher medallions and compasses.
3. Bold Statement Pieces
In contrast to the understated allure of minimalist jewellery, bold statement pieces are making waves in 2024. Embrace your individuality and make a lasting impression with eye-catching accessories that demand attention. If you're brave, 2024 is not the year to be shy when it comes to jewellery!
Chunky rings, oversized pendants, thick chains, stacking necklaces, bracelets and rings are just a few examples of the bold statement pieces that are capturing the imagination of fashion-forward men this year. Whether adorned with intricate patterns, striking gemstones, or avant-garde shapes, these pieces will add a touch of drama to your wardrobe. We love a little bit of drama!
5. Sustainable Style
As eco-consciousness continues to shape consumer preferences, sustainability emerges as a prominent theme in men's jewellery trends for 2024. Embrace ethical fashion with jewellery crafted from recycled metals, responsibly sourced gemstones, and eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood or bamboo. Not only do these sustainable pieces make a positive impact on the planet, but they also exude a unique charm and character that sets them apart from conventional accessories.

8. Bracelets for men
Bracelets for men are still on trend in 2024! Bracelets with a masculine edge are trending. Chunky chains and bold designs will be popular.
Leather bracelets with minimal designs are back in vogue. These bracelets are easy to wear and integrate into a formal or casual outfit.
Another style of bracelet we can expect to see is beaded bracelets. Beaded bracelets add a touch of class while also offering the opportunity to wear something that is more meaningful or personalised.

Layering bracelets to create a wrist stack continues to trend into 2024. Bracelet layering pairs great with longer sleeves to peak out and show off some personality. Feel free to have fun with it by experimenting with texture, metals, charms and chains to create a playful stack.
10. Dangly Earrings
One of the best examples of gender norms being challenged in the sphere of men's jewellery is the surge of dangly earrings for men. This is the ultimate accent to add edge and allure to your style. Opt for an asymmetric look or go all out with a matching set of dangly earrings. Play with different sizes and pendants to match your unique style.
11. Personalised Jewellery
Personalised jewellery is a great way to add a sentimental touch to your look while also showcasing your personality. Wearing something that is meaningful and stylish is a great way to move through the world!
Consider getting a necklace or bracelet with your initials, birthstone, coordinates of a special place, a custom street map or a special message.
At Off the Map, most of our jewellery has an element of customisation and personalisation. Whether it is having a message engraved on the back of a pendant (at no extra cost!) or having your hometown street custom engraved onto a necklace.
