Handmade Silver Jewelry

Sophisticated Men's Designer Jewelry

Just what does one look for when shopping for men's jewelry? Style is most significant, obviously. Subsequently, one looks for durability, a sense of chic, and a certain presence. Typically, males are much less likely to follow the ups and downs of the latest fashions and more likely to don eye-catching jewelry that is representative of their own character and sense of style.



The fashionable, cool, and classically American style of John S. Brana's Hand Crafted Men's Jewellery fits the bill flawlessly. Fashioned in oxidized sterling silver, John S. Brana's one-of-a-kind men's bracelets are ruggedly good looking and absolutely one of a kind. All these striking and chunky custom bracelets consist of four styles, any one of which is likely to appeal to almost any guy with a taste for fine jewelry.

Mother Nature Inspired Men's Custom Jewelry

The Tonga Men's Jewelry Collection features a sturdy sterling silver curb link bracelet highlighted with complex carving inspired by ancient Pacific Island tribes. The regal Sierra Nevada mountain range is the inspiration for the eye-catching Sierra Gents Jewelry Collection's abstract design and style. The man that relishes the elegance and solace of the Pacific Ocean will really be excited to receive a bracelet from the Wave Collection. The wavy style brings to mind the lull of the gently rolling ocean. Then there's the Rawhide Collection, which celebrates the era of the Old West by giving the oxidized sterling silver the appearance and texture of worn buckskin.

Each of these hallmarked, oxidized silver men's bracelets features a stylish and durable curb link design and large lobster claw clasp. No matter which you decide on, you can't go wrong by making your selection from hand-crafted jewellery designer John S. Brana's distinctive line of bold and beautifully crafted men's jewelry.

Fine jewelry silver is actually pure silver or 99% silver. Sterling silver, on the other hand, is an alloy of 92.5% silver mixed with 7.5% copper. Pure silver is usually too malleable to be used in jewelry, unless it is hammered or tumbled to "work harden" the silver to a point where it is just as strong as Sterling Silver. The advantage of Fine Silver, is that it does not tarnish, making care of fine silver jewelry effortless.

Silver and gold are the two most well-known, and popular, precious metals used in creating fine jewelry. Fine jewelry silver is less expensive than gold, which makes it more popular for that reason alone. Many people also prefer the color and look of silver over gold. Gold is typically thought of a warm, friendly color, while silver is more cool and distinguished.

Fine silver jewelry is crafted for both men and women. For men, it consists of cufflinks - the one fashion accessory women have never needed. Then there are bracelets, necklaces and pendants, and rings. As with any fine fashion accessory, many famous designers work in the fine silver jewelry field. Their creations are offered at many fine jewelry stores, although unfortunately the current economic climate has seen the closing down of many of those stores. Nowadays, many designers have websites that showcase their creations.

Fine silver jewelry has been crafted for over a thousand years, so in addition to new pieces, many fabulous classic and antique pieces are available for purchase at antique stores or on Ebay, for example.
