Sterling Silver Rhodium Plated Hoop Earrings

About Ethos

Most men who walk in for jewelry want two questions answered: what is it made of, and will it still look like this in five years. Ethos is a line built for exactly that customer.

The work is sterling silver, finished in ways that matter more than they sound. Oxidized and gunmetal treatments give the metal a darker, matte character instead of the bright polish that makes a lot of men's jewelry read as flashy. Stones run to black onyx, black agate and sapphire, staying in the same restrained register. There are 14K gold-filled pieces as well, which wear considerably harder than plating for anyone who does not take jewelry off.

The chain is Italian-made, which is the detail worth handling in person. Good chain is the difference between a bracelet that drapes and one that sits on the wrist like hardware.

The collections split cleanly by temperament. Chisel is the statement end, heavier rings and bracelets with worked scroll detail. Black Ice and Eclipse run dark and modern. The gold-filled and chain-led lines are where you look for something that disappears into everyday wear.

Gray's Jewelers Bespoke is an authorized Ethos retailer. Come into our Saint James showroom and try a few on, since the only reliable way to size a men's bracelet is on the wrist it is going on.
