We’ve got a confession: "cheap jewelry for men" is a bit of a misnomer. Sure, the jewelry we've rounded up here is affordable—all of it clocks in at $150 or less—but none of it looks cheap. No, you're not getting solid gold or precious gems at these prices. (And be wary if someone says you are.) 

Thanks to the men’s jewelry renaissance currently sweeping the nation, you no longer have to blow your life savings to bring some well-made, well-designed flash to your fits. The difference between the cheap men's jewelry we've turned up and what falls off the back of a truck is that our picks are well-made, no-lies pieces. And with no shortage of showoff flair, if that's your vibe. Whether you're a total accessories novice looking to stay simple (for now), or the type of person who doesn't feel dressed without the clack of stacked rings and bracelets, we've turned up the most solid—literally and metaphorically—price-conscious men's jewelry. Here are 25 wallet-respecting rings, necklaces, bracelets, and more to keep you shining all day long.
