If you take a look around during the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day it might appear that it is a “woman’s holiday” because of the obvious lack of advertisements, promotions and commercials for gifts especially for men.

So, what kinds of presents are out there for men during Valentine’s Day? Well, just like the ladies, men like diamonds too and there are many unique diamond gifts that a woman could present to her sweetheart on Valentine’s Day.

Of course there are the old standbys like diamond cuff links, though there are not a lot of men who own shirts that require these beautiful button substitutes any longer. There are also some very useful goods like money clips, which can be crafted from precious metals, outfitted with diamonds and engraved with his initials or name. This would be a really lovely, affordable and memorable gift, but what if someone is looking for something a bit different?

The biggest trend in masculine jewelry is precious metal dog tags or ID necklaces that are incredibly simple and elegant. They are a single, flat rectangle of white or yellow gold or platinum with a diamond or several diamonds placed in a pattern along the metal. These can be engraved, but the most popular style is plain with only the diamonds for ornamentation. These are hung from a matching metal chain and present a very strong statement of personal style.

You say your man isn’t one for wearing a necklace? Well there are many elegant and durable watches in precious metals with diamond accents. Such a distinctive gift would be the ideal choice for a memorable day like Valentine’s Day as well. Of course watches, cuff links and pendants are not the only styles of masculine diamond jewelry.

For centuries men have worn rings, and today a hefty pinky ring or traditional ring can be selected to match the everyday tastes of the recipient. There are as many styles of diamond rings for men as there are for women, but one of the more unique types of rings that can be given to a man as special gifts are those made from innovative and unusual metals. Men love to know they are wearing something indestructible or almost impossible to scratch and this makes rings made from titanium, tungsten and palladium great choices. Each of these metals has unique properties and some are far more costly than others, but they can make for a long-lasting and truly memorable gift that really shows how much thought went into choosing it.

Of course a men’s ring doesn’t need to be a plain metal set with a single stone. It can have a mixture of metals and several precious stones, such as the ever-popular onyx and diamond rings so often worn by many men.

Are there any types of diamond bracelets for men? Absolutely, and they are actually among the biggest sellers throughout the year. They would make a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift, particularly if the shopper opted to have it engraved with the recipient’s initials or name. The date could be engraved on the reverse of the bracelet and serve as a permanent reminder of a special day.

What if I want to give him something really “over the top” for Valentine’s Day? What kind of diamond gifts are available for men in that sort of category? In April of 2007 a luxury car company outfitted a Mercedes Benz from bumper to bumper with diamonds, and though this was done as an “aftermarket” venture it is probably available to anyone who is interested.

There are diamond encrusted shoelace clips that can fit over the laces of his sneakers or gym shoes. Weighing in at two carats each they could give a lot of “bling” to his feet.

If he likes to cook, a Dutch manufacturer has a line of saucepans with golden handles set with over 200 diamonds each. Though it is probably not dishwasher safe!

The ever popular iPhones are also available with diamond enhancements and a British entrepreneur recently released a line of the phones accented with over 400 diamonds each. This means each white or yellow gold phone contains nearly six carats of diamonds and retails for more than forty thousand dollars. Of course there is also some competition from Blackberry in this area, and a solid gold and diamond encrusted case is now available for these handy gadgets. With more than three carats of diamonds on each case, they cost an average of twenty thousand dollars each.

Clearly there are many options for men’s gifts for Valentine’s Day and regardless of a budget a wonderful and memorable treasure can be presented to a sweetheart this February.
