Diamond Chains for Men
A diamond chain has stones set into the links, or small diamond stations spaced along the chain. The sparkle is spread out, so there is no single focal point. It suits men who want a necklace that looks full and detailed without a pendant. Browse our men's chains to compare widths and lengths.
Diamond Cross Necklaces for Men
A cross is one of the most requested shapes for a man's necklace. It has a bold outline, and the diamonds add presence without making the piece look delicate. Sizes run from understated to large. See our men's crosses and charms to find a size that fits your style.
Solitaire and Other Pendants
A single diamond on a gold chain is the cleanest look there is. One real stone, nothing competing with it. If you want more design, ask to see the geometric and coin styles. Our men's pendants page shows what is available online, and the case in the showroom may have more.
How Long Should a Men's Necklace Be?
Length decides where a necklace sits and how it looks.
- 20 inches sits at the collarbone.
- 22 to 24 inches hangs on the chest, which works best for most pendants.
- 30 inches hangs lower and reads as a statement piece.
Not sure? Try a few lengths on in the showroom. We can size any chain we sell, and our jewelry repair team can adjust one you already own.
Choosing the Metal
Yellow gold has a warm, classic look. White gold looks cooler and more modern. Sterling silver keeps the starting price lower while still using real metal and real diamonds.
On gold purity, 14K has more gold and a richer color. 10K has more alloy mixed in, which makes it a bit harder and more scratch resistant. Either one can work for daily wear. The chain's build matters more than the number.
Natural or Lab Grown Diamonds
Both are real diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are made in a controlled setting, and they are physically and chemically the same as mined ones. They are graded the same way. The main difference is price. At the same carat weight, a lab grown diamond usually costs less, so you can get a larger stone for the same budget. See our lab grown men's pendants and chains or the full lab grown diamond jewelry page.
Pair It With More Men's Jewelry
A new necklace pairs well with a men's diamond bracelet or a men's ring. You can also browse the full men's jewelry page. Planning a bigger purchase? See our financing options.
