Valentine's Gifts for Him

Jewelry has always been a winning gift for Valentine's Day. We are kept very busy getting our beautiful Celtic and Irish designs to romantic couples for the big day. And we've noticed mens jewelry climbing up the valentine's bestseller lists in the past few years.

Gone are the days where a wedding ring was the only piece of jewelry a man might own! Mens pendants, bracelets, rings,cufflinks, and tie bars are all now common accessories for the stylish gent.

How to choose?

Want surprise him with a piece of handsome heirloom jewelry this year but not sure where to start? We're here to help.

If he's already in the habit of sporting jewelry, we recommend drawing on those pieces for inspiration. If you are buying for a man new to jewelry, we recommend classic pieces in durable and long-lasting metals like sterling silver or yellow gold that he is sure to love. We’ve used our years of experience to pull together this gift guide from crosses to cufflinks, with something to fit every man's style.

Celtic Crosses

In our experience, people and especially men, love when there's a story behind their jewelry. Our Celtic Crosses are a great example and unsurprisingly, they are a favorite gift for him. Here are our top picks this Valentine's Day:

Necklaces and pendants

Everyone needs their own good-luck talisman - and many of our handsome pendants fit the bill perfectly with the protection of a saint, a 'lucky' shamrock, or his own warrior sword:

Celtic Knots he will love

Symbolizing eternity, love, and strength, Celtic Knots are another meaningful and handsome choice for him and popular gifts at this time of year:

Make it Personal

Or you can go for something as unique as he is, with our Ogham name pendant. Engraved with a word or phrase of significance in the ancient Irish script of Ogham, this pendant will be a secret message of love that he can keep with him always. And for the proud family man, his family coat of arms on a pendant will bring a tear to his eye.

Don’t forget Chains

All of our crosses and pendants come with a quality chain. But you may want to upgrade to a longer or chunkier chain, especially if he is a larger man.

Curb link chains are timeless and durable and we often recommend this style for chunkier pendants for gents. Curb chains lie flat on the neck and so they are also very comfortable, always important with men!

Bracelets

Bracelets are not the first thing many people gravitate to for a gift for him. But we have been told by past customers that even gents who don't typically wear jewelry are taken with our Mens Heavy Bracelet - a best seller year round.

ID style bracelets are a notable exception and are bang on trend this year. Our Ogham Name Bracelet is an ID style that can be inscribed with his name or a special message. He is sure to love it. And if bracelets are not his thing, we've a range of Ogham pieces in a similar style that just might fit the bill.

Cufflinks

If you would like to stay on more traditional ground, cufflinks are a wonderful gift for a sharp dresser who wears suits for work or pleasure. You can’t go wrong with a pair of heirloom cufflinks.

Our Claddagh cufflinks made with Irish rose gold sourced from Tyrone here in Ireland are a popular choice for him. With beautiful sentiment representing love, loyalty and friendship, the Claddagh has a meaningful story that will let him know he is special. And as an added bonus, it is a piece of Ireland he can treasure forever.

Rings

Rings from our stylish mens rings collection are the top gifts for him each Valentine's Day. If you know his ring size, a timeless and weighty Celtic design is sure to impress him.

For your Celtic Warrior

Our Celtic Warrior rings are always a hit with several widths, metals and finishes available to suit his style. He will feel ready to take on anything wearing one of these rings inspired by the shield design of Celtic warriors of old:

Claddagh for him

We have already spoken about the beautiful sentiment of the 400 year old Claddagh design. Our Mens Heavy Claddagh Ring is the perfect example of why it is a popular choice for men.

Don’t know his size but still fancy getting him a ring? All is not lost. You can order our free ring sizer, find out how to size his ring on the QT, or simply get in touch and we can help you get it right.

Future family heirloom

So after all that we hope you agree that he might appreciate his own bling or a new family heirloom this Valentine's Day. We are biased but we do think quality jewelry is tough to beat for a gift that has real sentimental value, a future family heirloom to be passed down the generations.
