Male Jewelry, Demanding Quality
Male jewelry is today more than just a piece of metal shaped to be conveniently worn. Most fashion critics agree that the entry of Kaisilver into the male jewelry market segment, brought about some impressive changes in the industry. Not so long ago, jewelers fooled buyers into believing that, well designed and crafted male gold or 925 silver jewelry could not appear masculing. Buyers believed that well made male jewelry would appear dainty and feminine! This wrong notion allowed jewelers to sell clumsy pieces of metal with hurriedly set gems, these jewels were not cheap either.
Kaisilver did not do any magic to change the scene, there was a lot of hard work and research. And ofcourse, there was a lot of resentment from other jewelers who never had to work hard until then. A team of experts from Kai Silver conducted a long and intense research, studying male jewelry and the lifestyle patterns of the modern male. The findings of this research helped us develop jewelry that suited the habits and lifestyle of men. It also allowed us to educate men about their 'right' to demand and get good quality male jewelry. In this section we will discuss various issues related to male jewelry, we will not worry about selling you anything. We have always committed ourselves to educating and informing buyers. Once you are equipped with relevant information and knowledge, you can make a balanced decision to select the right jewel and the right jeweler. At that point it does not matter whether you buy from Kaisilver or any other jeweler.
An interesting thing about male jewelry is that, pendants are more popular as compared to male rings. One of the possible reasons is that, pendants are generally not very visible whereas, rings can draw a lot of attention. Many mine like their jewelry to be quietly confident and impressive.

When wearing a male pendant, there is something that you need to understand. While it is normal for a pendant around the neck to turn around and show it's back side - you do not want to expose ugly craftsmanship and deep metal scooping on the back.

This is what Kaisilver does for all male jewelry and infact for all jewelry that we custom make.
