Mens designer jewelry has recently become one of the fastest growing fashion trends thanks to fashion icons such as David Beckham. Long gone are the days when a man would wear just a watch or possibly a wedding ring. Men of today are embracing jewelry like they never did previously and the leading fashion is men's urban jewelry.

Urban jewelry is a cool contemporary look which has its origins in city life and designer lifestyles. The virile look is often accentuated by using stainless steel as the design material.

Stainless steel is a great choice for men's designer jewelry because it is versatile enough to withstand many different styles yet is durable enough to be worn every day. It's clean cool looks aren't unnoticed either.

Key urban designs for mens necklaces are abstract mens pendants - for example cones and other more unusual shapes and also mens chains made entirely from stainless steel with intricate details on the links. Crosses are a timeless pendant choice, but in the urban trend they usually have a unique addition such as an unusual shape, stone settings, or engravings on the surface.

Mens bracelets offer an extra opportunity for men to show off their urban style. Here the look is usually bold with cuffs, heavy links and the addition of stones for further designer appeal. Delicate chains don't get a look in and the bracelets are not worn to be tucked away or covered up. The style is all about masculinity and getting noticed - this style of bracelets for men is usually the focal point of a whole outfit and worn to be admired and talked about.

The urban look also enables personalization with the growing trend towards ID bracelets. Stainless steel is an ideal material for ID bracelets and by engraving bracelets for men, urban jewelry designers are keeping ahead in today's fashion stakes.
