Throughout history, both men and women have enjoyed wearing jewelry, especially bracelets. While ancient designs were somewhat crude, today jewelry is sophisticated, fun, versatile, and always an excellent investment. For men's bracelets, design options have evolved and changed although traditional designs are still among the more popular choices. For the distinguished man, current designs are made with high quality gold and unique styling, as in the case of men's gold nugget bracelets.
What are men's gold nugget bracelets? These are bracelets designed with actual nuggets of gold in varying sizes and densities. Because of the diversity, a man could choose a streamlined design, or a chunkier, masculine design. Typically, the choice would be based on the types of occasions for which the bracelet would be worn, personal preference, budget, and physical size. For instance, a larger man could carry off larger nuggets whereas a man with a smaller physic might go with slightly smaller nuggets.
What makes men's gold nugget bracelets so unique and interesting is that rather than having a polished look, the jewelry piece is actually made with raw, mined nuggets. In other words, the nuggets are not polished out to shiny perfection as what you would see with other gold bracelets. Instead, the gold nuggets remain in their natural shape and size, which are then used to create stunning pieces.
Men's gold nugget bracelets are generally made with numerous nuggets, each having been weighed individually. Because of this, pricing for this particular type of jewelry would vary from one finished design to the other, each based on the total weight of the gold. In addition, the price of the bracelet would depend strongly on the current gold market. If gold were to depreciate, the bracelet would be more affordable than in a high profit gold market.
When nugget bracelets are designed and produced, jewelers try to keep all nuggets close in weight, color, and purity. That way, the jewelry has a consistent appearance and value. As with other types of men's jewelry, specifically bracelets, there are options regarding color, white or gold, as well as purity (karat) to include 10K, 12K, 14K, 18K, and 24K. Obviously, any gold higher in purity than 14K is soft but when in the form of nuggets, higher purity withstands the test of time quite well.
Nuggets used for creating men's gold nugget bracelets are mined all over the world. However, one of the more popular mines is located in the interior of Alaska, known as the 40-Mile Mining District. Nuggets come directly from the mine, each being unique, individual, and stunning so when used for jewelry making, no two bracelets are identical. Although every mine is different, nuggets coming from Alaska average between 21 and 22K. As a result, men's gold nugget bracelets made from Alaskan nuggets are high quality, as well as individual in size, shape, weight, and texture.
Whether looking for a new piece of jewelry for yourself or trying to find the perfect gift for the hard-to-buy-for person, the nugget bracelet is always an excellent choice. Knowing that no other person has the same exact bracelet makes this more of a personalized design. Pre-designed men's gold nugget bracelets can be found through brick and mortar or reputable online jewelers but they can also be custom made when requested.
