Social venues are great places to mix and mingle with people. Whether it be a mixer or just a night out at a crowded bar, it’s important that a calibrated male makes the right impact on the world around him. The way people respond to you is determined by what you project outwards. While your inner self will shine based on your conversation, wearing a cool accessory will make you stand out. When you’re interacting with someone, your face will be the first thing they notice, and then when their gaze moves downward, they’ll have to pass by your neck. What you choose to put here will make a deep impact on how people will perceive you. The right mens pendant will have them see you in all the right ways, and the wrong one could have you pegged as a try hard. Below are some guidelines and tips for choosing cool mens pendants and the right pendant for each occasion and style.

Mens pendants are made from many varieties of material. However, if you stick to rugged material like steel, tungsten, pewter, and bone, you can make a statement without having to rob the bank. More expensive ones can also be made from sterling silver, silver, or gold, but we’ll stick with steel, pewter, and bone for now. Steel pendants are a great choice for a man who is hard on his clothes and jewelry. Stainless steel is durable metal alloy that maintains well despite the wear and tear that softer metals like gold find difficult to handle. Their finish is scratch resistant, unlike gold which will gain a “buffed” look over time. Steel pendants can be finished with a gold-like or silver-like polished look on the outside that can strongly mimic precious metals. These obviously cost a fraction of the price and you can have the look of a precious metal without having to pay a premium. Polished or matted Steel pendants are the right choice for a formal, semi-formal, or casual occasion and dress. They can be worn with virtually any shirt. Coupling it with a braided leather necklace or a steel chain can add the right touch and gives the wearer a distinct look.

Pewter is another great choice for a material in a mens pendant. Pewter pendants are made of metal alloys as well but have a much different touch and feel than the steel pendants. They are generally 90% tin, a soft malleable metal, and 10% copper or another soft metal. Pewter was originally used to make many things in the middle ages, but glass soon over took it. Now pewter is a highly popular metal for making jewelry because of its unique finish and interesting designs. Being made of a softer metal is conducive to the making of men’s pendants that have more detail without sacrificing the rugged look. Pewter pendants are an absolute favorite among makers of pendants with meaning. Pewter pendants also have varying colors on the metal. They can have a bluish hue to it which makes it very attractive to some men. For cool pendants for men that can cross the dress lines, just like steel, pewter is a good option. Pewter also has an earthy look that dresses up plain jeans and a very cool shirt. Coupled with braided leather necklace or a leather chain adds the right touches and gives the wearer an earthy yet fashion forward look.

Bone pendants have become some of the most popular of mens pendants. They give the wearer a cool, causal, and laid back appearance that has been dominating men’s fashion. For cool pendants for men made out of bone, look for natural or religious symbols. The bone can be carved into crosses, peace symbols, and other forms representing the natural or religious world, but the bone can also be cut into a square and have symbols either carved or painted on to the surface. Bone pendants should be worn with a natural material band and closer to the throat than a chain. Small wooden beads on the leather to hemp band make this men’s pendant more interesting and a great addition into your casual style. No wonder the surfer culture has adopted this type of adornment. Unless you’re wearing it as a talisman or for a particular individualized look, a leather chain may not make a huge difference in the impact that you make.

With all these choices you can’t go wrong. Whether it be for a date or just a neat party you’re attending, make that statement with a cool mens pendant. Don’t be surprised if that the demure thing in the corner picks up the courage to ask you about the interesting pendant you’re wearing. After all, you *are* giving her a conversation starter aren’t you?
