The key to instantly elevating a boring outfit is to add some jewelry like a simple silver chain necklace or gold bracelets for men. Whether you are new to men’s jewelry or you have a rocking collection already, bracelets for men are more versatile than you think and are relatively easy to style.
Ann Verhelst, a Belgian designer known for her fashion label Ann Demeulemeester once commented that “jewelry is something that has to do with emotion”. We couldn’t agree more. Collecting each piece of jewelry for most people has a lot of memory and sentimental value attached to it. Adding a simple jewelry piece like gold bracelets for men to any outfit will also instantly give you that confidence boost that you didn’t even know you needed.
With that being said, shopping for a gold bracelet can be intimidating, especially if you are new to this side of styling. All the professional jewelry-related terms and unfamiliar brands can leave you clueless. We’ve done the research for you and picked out the best gold bracelets you can buy right now – ranging in all price points, occasions, aesthetics, and designers.
Our Top Picks: Gold Bracelets for Men
This may come as no surprise to you, but we had to get Tiffany & Co. off our chest first when putting this list together. As an American luxury jewelry giant, this brand holds a special place in most (if not all) women’s hearts and men’s as well. Their selection of men’s bracelets especially is well curated with pieces that seamlessly merge utility with an edge.
Their iconic Tiffany T collection is robustly filled with timeless pieces that are gorgeously unisex – but for men, we particularly love the T1 Wide Hinged Bangle in 18k gold. As a reinvention of the most popular Tiffany T square bracelet, this hinged bangle has been updated with a continuous, unbroken circle and a strong, beveled “T” motif, which is the signature of the brand.
When speaking of gold bracelets for men, we cannot leave out the famous Love Bracelet by Cartier. This 18k yellow gold bracelet is a true icon within the realm of fine jewelry and thus is often selected as the no-brainer piece for luxury jewelry buyers and celebrities like Kanye West, Drake, and Zac Efron. Since 1969, this gold bracelet has been a symbol of free-spirited love, making it a popular item to wear as a matching bracelet with your partner.
The most unique element about the Love Bracelet is that you need to screw the bracelet on (with the help of a partner) to secure the bracelet on your wrist. The bracelet comes with a handy screwdriver. The famous locking technology makes this a semi-permanent bracelet that you would wear 24/7 – yes, you’d wear it to sleep and in the shower as well.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Miansai was one of the leading brands that normalized jewelry for men in the contemporary era, especially bracelets. When Michael Saiger founded Miansai in 2008, the hook and anchor rope bracelets and screw cuffs instantly became a uniform for stylish men in the fashion industry.
Nowadays, Miansai’s ID Chain Bracelet is making its way to become the modern-day essential. The ID Chain Bracelet is available in various widths, all carrying their own charm. We especially love it in the 3mm gold vermeil version for its versatility and comparably affordable price point.
This sleek and understated is one of those gold bracelets for men with the perfect width; thin enough to look effortless, but also thick enough to show off some bling. The best thing about the 3mm ID Chain Bracelet is that it features a blank curved plate that can be customized with your name, motto, phone number, you name it. We think the gold vermeil is just fine to serve its purpose, but if you are a fine jewelry kind of guy, they also have the same bracelet in 14k gold as well.
It was all over the fashion press when the affordable fine jewelry brand Mejuri finally launched its men’s jewelry line in 2020. Mejuri is known for its minimal pieces that are designed to be worn every day, for all occasions – and this was great news for men.
The Flat Curb Chain Bracelet has been a bestseller for a while and a cult favorite for men that strive for a minimal and sophisticated look. Made in 14k solid gold, this is one of those gold bracelets for men that gives the perfect amount of shine and sparkle. While also seamlessly blending with any outfit. This bracelet can easily be stacked with other options (like the runner-up) on the site or worn alone.
If you are a minimalist with a love for simple, clean outfits, Le gramme’s Ribbon Bracelet is our best pick for you. Le gramme is a high-end men’s jewelry brand with a unique concept of each jewelry object being named by its weight in grams.
The ribbon bracelet le 7g is finished with a brushed polish, making it appear semi-matt which we love. This will make any minor scratches less visible and will age nicely with wear. The sleek, open bangle format also makes it quick and easy to slip on your wrist, which is a nice plus for busy men.
Apologies for the repetition, but we could not leave the Le gramme website without raving about the Cable Bracelet Le 9g. Another hit from the brand, some of its gold bracelets for men have become the blueprint for cable bracelets in general.
Made with 750 yellow gold, this cable bracelet gives off a more casual vibe compared to the aforementioned counterpart. Think of the cable version as the hipster younger cousin of the more polished ribbon bracelet.
If you want to add some sparkle without dropping piles of money, try out Miabella’s Figaro Chain Bracelet. This simple, lightweight chain bracelet is sterling silver and plated with 18k yellow gold for added durability.
The classic chain design with flat diamond-cut beveled links gives some gold bracelets for men an extra shine that doesn’t come off as overly flamboyant. The simplicity will add instant oomph to any casual outfit like a plain white tee and your favorite pair of jeans.
Don’t let the affordable price fool you. The 925 sterling silver material is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it durable and a great choice for men with sensitive skin.

Its ‘Imprint’ bracelet draws on rich texture to bring a subtle shine to your wrist without being flashy or imposing.

This gold tennis bracelet featuring 3mm size cubic zirconia will shine and sparkle on your wrist, making you look expensive and elevated. Diamonds aren’t just for women, but if you are worried that your masculinity is being questioned, simply pair it with a dapper watch or other leather bracelets to toughen up the look.
If there is a designer brand that comfortably makes its way onto all of our shopping edits, it would have to be Maison Margiela – yes, we are obsessed. Maison Margiela’s Logo-Engraved Gold-Plated Cuff is another hit from the brand that has fulfilled the needs of its loyal and aspirational followers.
Staying authentic to the cult label’s tried and true French chic aesthetic, this gold cuff bracelet for men is simplistic and effortless. The cuff is engraved with Maison Margiela’s signature numerical code that indicates ‘11’ to represent their accessories line.
