Some experts who watch trends in men's platinum jewelry as well as other types suggest that the interest in decorative pieces to accent apparel is influenced by the age factor more than anything else. There are also cultural trends that affect the male interest in items like necklaces or bracelets and have provided a way for a young man to identify to certain groups.

Even a man who will not wear a piece of jewelry if it were given to him, generally will wear a watch and a wedding band. So, for stores that specialize in everything from reasonably priced men's silver jewelry to expensive platinum and diamond heirlooms, there is always a jewelry market for the male gender.

Although in earlier times jewellery was created for more practical uses, such as wealth storage and pinning clothes together, in recent times it has been used almost exclusively for decoration. The first pieces of jewellery were made from natural materials, such as bone, animal teeth, shell, wood, and carved stone. Jewellery was often made for people of high importance to show their status and, in many cases, they were buried with it.

Many consumers have shied away from wearing men's silver jewelry because of the association it may bring to their wardrobe. However, due to the swing in trends through mainstream movies and media influences that depict masculine movie stars wearing diamond studded cuff links or onyx rings, the shift in mainstream, male interest for various wearable items is occurring.

There is a broad selection of wedding rings from which to choose that allow each man to find the one that is the most comfortable in terms of wear and style. Rings come in everything from a simple, wedding band to an intricate, diamond studded band that is priced for the wealthy. The male interest in personal, decorative items is highly variable among the population which provides incentives for stores to stock other items that may appeal to a man that is not actually a piece to be worn. Special gifts are available in many fine men's silver jewelry sections such as pens, money clips and paper weights that are not actually wearable but certainly functional.
