An amber bracelet for a man – we hear this question more and more. Amber can look very masculine if the shape and setting are right. A few rules.
1. Dark setting, small accent
Amber looks most masculine as an accent, not the main element: a dark base – fossil bog oak, black leather, matt wood – with one or a few small pieces of amber. At ZILVANO we pair amber with fossil bog oak: black and warm cognac look rugged and refined at once.
2. Amber colour
Dark tones suit men’s bracelets best: cognac, red-brown, cherry. Light, milky amber looks softer.
3. Shape
- Bracelet on a cord or leather – minimalist, goes with a watch.
- Rectangular and irregular elements instead of round beads.
- Matt surfaces next to polished amber create an interesting contrast.
4. Size
A man’s wrist usually measures 17–21 cm. An adjustable bracelet with a sliding knot is the most comfortable. Measure just above the wrist bone and add 1–2 cm.
5. What to wear it with
An amber bracelet looks good with a watch on a leather strap, a shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a jumper. On your watch arm, wear it on the outside so they don’t knock together.
Care
Amber is soft and sensitive to chemicals. Take the bracelet off for the gym, the shower and swimming.
