Putting people into boxes isn’t always Kosher — we’re complex beings, after all. But sometimes when deciding which jewelry is best for the dad in your life, whittling his personality down to the bare basics can be just what you need. So, get ready to put some personalities — and bracelets — into boxes!
INSIDE BOX NUMBER ONE WE HAVE…
Tech Dad. Tech Dads normally have an iPhone and constantly talk about how great IOS is. Phrases like: “The superior operating system,” “It’s just got such a sleek design, man,” and “PFff. Android? Open source program language, more like open door for viruses, amirite?” can be heard when in the presence of
a Tech Dad. These guys don’t fool around with news networks like CNN or Fox; Tech Dads only follow TechCrunch. These guys drink Starbucks and think it’s the crème de la crème. And, Tech Dads are definitely into beads. Not the cheap shiny plastic kind, but the good precious stone kind that send chills down your spine when you touch them. If your dad falls into this category, look for the INOX stone and leather bracelets line.
IN BOX NUMBER TWO WE HAVE…
DIY Guy. The DIY Guy is into heavy jewelry. His jewelry needs to be able to withstand the wear and tear that comes with doing every project for himself. DIY Guys don’t mess around with flimsy material. Go hard or go home. DIY Guys catch anything thrown at them. They know that any information worth knowing, including a college education, CAN and WILL be found on YouTube. For this guy, the Colossi collect and other heavy duty bracelets are the perfect fit.
IN BOX NUMBER THREE LIES…
The Professional. The Professional prefers suits. He is constantly checking his stocks but doesn’t bat an eye if they drop because he knows he will be back on top in no time. The professional is insanely fit, which some find surprising because he is always at lunch meetings; The professional isn’t surprised though, he counts his macros. The Professional needs jewelry that will keep those suits looking classy, while adding personality to his formal attire. But he is always making sure his arm decor doesn’t upstage his arm candy (A.K.A. model girlfriend). Unfortunately and fortunately, with jewelry this gorgeous that can be a difficult task. If someone you love falls into this category, he might enjoy our Hammered, Bro’s Gold and Olympian colections.
THE SPECTACULAR MAN INSIDE BOX NUMBER FOUR IS…
The Nature Lover. Dirt on the hands and spirit in the heart. The Nature Lover deserves a bracelet that contains as much zest as his nature-loving soul. In case it wasn’t obvious, these guys appreciate earth tones the most. The Nature Lovers, like the DIY Guy, is quite rugged, which is why his jewelry must be able to withstand the test of time and adventure (and water, because he WILL stumble upon a waterhole to jump into!). Look for leather and natural tones available in the INOX collection.
BOX NUMBER FIVE…
Blue Collar. Men that fit in this box typically like barbecues, the smell of fresh cut grass, meat jerky, denim, and cracking open full-calorie beers with the boys. They do not fuss much with fancy goods. Practicality is key that is why the men who fit in this category will enjoy jewelry featuring worn out denim, steel, and silicone like the bracelets in our Allegiance collection.
NUMBER SIX…
The Creative. Layers, baby. That’s what The Creative is all about. If a Creative is dressed properly, people will know so much about his personality before even speaking with him. Creatives spend time painting, writing poems, and even cooking meals (most likely of the vegan variety). His jewelry must be able to take on food and paint oils, ink spills, and tears (because being a Creative isn’t easy!). Unique personality is a must with his clothing and accessories. The following jewelry is best suited for The Creative.
AND FINALLY…
The Athletic. Adidas. Joggers. Champion hoodies. The Athletic needs jewelry that says, “I could run a marathon right now and only break a mild sweat, but I won’t cause we are in the middle of a conversation.” His Athleisure style, from his running shoes to his watch and accessories need be durable, comfortable and stylish at the same time. The perfect jewelry for The Athletic is thematically colorful, yet casual and classy.
Overall, regardless of the type of guy your dad could be, getting him another tie or cuff links is just not cool anymore. The right piece of jewelry that fits perfectly with his style and personality can be a welcome surprise. Imagine? No stressing days before Father’s Day just to find that gift that isn’t expensive but has plenty of class and styles.
