Secretly, you’ve always wanted to try it—wearing that single, manly piece of personality jewelry that makes a statement about who you are. Maybe you wonder if your image will suffer, or if you’ll stand out from the crowd…a little too much. Never fear, William Henry has you covered with unique men’s jewelry and accessories that transform a novice into a seasoned icon with just the right selection. Still not sure? Here are 7 ways men’s jewelry is, in fact, manly.
Jewelry is an accessory and works best for men who keep the rule of “less is more.”
Wear your badass masculine side with those few choice pieces that build your image. Carry your identity in a pocket knife embellished with a tiny silver skull, or a key chain with a sculpted bronze dragon bead.
There’s a powerful appeal when a confident man shows his softer side with a little bit of style, like a slender bracelet woven from black Kevlar with a clasp of mokume gane-forged steel in the ancient Samurai tradition.
Color choices in manly jewelry are subtle but strong, tied to the most basic, rare elements made by earth and man. Neckwear, bracelets, pocket knives, and pens by William Henry layer color through the application of essential materials. Warm hues of copper and gold accent cool sterling silver, frosted black onyx, and black stainless steel.
A fine pocket knife constructed from hand-carved metal and overlays of exotic woods, such as consciously harvested cocobolo, box elder burl, desert ironwood, snakewood, curly koa, or eyrie vineyard pinot vine, melds superior craftsmanship with rich color.
You’ll feel a connection to pre-history through a fossilembellished pocket knife, pen, or set of cuff links. Each fossil is judiciously sourced and sparingly used to achieve the highest expression of the maker’s art.
Draw strength from your own bit of mammoth bone or tusk, fossil coral, or 100 million-year-old Apatosaurus dinosaur bone. A small, subtle jewelry statement speaks volumes, like the clearly masculine Zurich Tusk money clip, inlaid with 10,000 year-old ring-cut woolly mammoth tusk. The extraordinary age rings add rich, natural color gradations.
Take a bold step in a finely crafted, tasteful neckwear piece of sterling silver woven chain with shield pendant. The P4-DB GR shield is inlaid with mystical greengray fossil bone, left by an Apatosaurus dinosaur. Its jewel-like properties took over 100 million years to develop. Rock the shield necklace as a stylish accent to your weekend wear, or tuck it inside a work dress shirt and tie for a secret source of inner strength.
The master artists and craftsmen of William Henry Men’s Jewelry inspire an independent spirit that is expressed in each of their unique creations. Our steelmakers and bladesmiths wrangle nature’s strongest elements through blazing fires, forging them into delicately carved pieces of art to carry or wear. Take a cue from these men who carve out their own lives in original ways to bring you tasteful, original, collectible pieces. Join their ranks with your own piece of jewelry art, like the Morpheus Reef, the world’s first luxury pendant knife. It can be carried in the pocket or worn at the neck, featuring 100,000 year-old fossil coral inlay, a hand-forged Damascus steel blade, and sapphire.
The ancient art of Japanese swordmaking was enhanced in the 1600s when the art of mokume gane was applied to decorate Samurai swords. Today, the finest practitioners are making new mokume gane at William Henry. Layers of different metals are fused together, exposing sections of layers below that appear to be finely carved wood grain. Repeated carving and pressing creates extraordinary wave patterns, especially found in our pocket knives. Our knives hide a signature Damascus steel blade, forged from steel, iron and copper, with some brass and nickel silver.
Look to the future and leave old fears behind. Your image takes off with William Henry pieces that craft aerospace grade titanium, aircraft grade aluminum, and black coated German D2 steel into sleek pocket knives. The Gentac Saturn’s light titanium frame houses the extra-strong ZDP-189 steel blade. Small, bright sapphires cap the one-hand button lock and thumb stud. High-tech crafting produces a personality statement that is practical and manly.
