As approved by Gigi Hadid, Timothée Chalamet, Zayn Malik, Kendall Jenner and many more

Gone are the days when dog tags and rope chains were regarded as the peak of male adornment. In an era of growing diversity and inclusivity, where attitudes towards gender are changing, men are experimenting with jewellery like never before.

Leading the charge in this direction is the next generation of fashion icons. Harry Styles, for instance, transformed the once-staid pearl earring into the accessory of choice when he turned up at the 2019 Met Gala sporting a single dangling earring by Gucci (for which he allegedly pierced his own ear), only to continue his conquest by making pearl necklaces cool again. Styles isn&rsquo;t the only one to rock the, uh, style either. Shawn Mendes, A$AP Rocky, Maluma, and the Jonas brothers are just a handful of stars who&rsquo;ve jumped on the margarite bandwagon. Zayn Malik has also proved not averse to borrowing girlfriend Gigi Hadid&rsquo;s baubles, while Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet (aka the internet&rsquo;s boyfriend) favours delicate chain necklaces, statement rings, and even gemstone brooches.

And brands have been quick on the uptake. Though the notion of gender-neutral jewellery is not a new one, recent months have cemented its evolution from a trend to a more permanent movement, affording a greater scope for creativity. As a result, an increasing number of design(er)s are blurring the gender boundaries, such as the now-classic Clash de Cartier collection and Bulgari&rsquo;s B.Zero1 Rock series. Not forgetting Comme des Gar&ccedil;ons&rsquo; collaboration with Mikimoto this season, which saw Rei Kawakubo put a subversive spin on pearls, with all seven options meant to be worn &ldquo;regardless of age or gender&rdquo;. Or the raft of smaller (but no less sophisticated) houses offering pieces that go beyond gender.

Below, we&rsquo;ve rounded up five labels you should keep an eye on, because there&rsquo;s no doubt that genderless jewellery is here to stay. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

Tom Wood

Her wedding band is a vintage signet ring, so perhaps it was only natural that Mona Jensen would make the centuries-old design a cornerstone of her lifestyle label Tom Wood. Named after a fictive male persona (and Jensen&rsquo;s alter ego), Tom Wood has earned a cult following with timeless creations that epitomise Scandinavian functionalism and minimalism, without skimping on style. Reinterpreted in sterling silver and solid gold, the brand&rsquo;s genderless selection of signet rings comes in different widths and showcases natural stones such as turquoise, opals, sugilite, amber, onyx, and diamonds. Besides the comprehensive assortment of jewellery, Tom Wood has also expanded into ready-to-wear, sunglasses, socks, and blankets, should that catch your fancy too.

Martyre

As if being a model and a member of the Hadid family isn&rsquo;t enough, Anwar Hadid can also add jewellery designer to his list of achievements. He founded Martyre together with friend and musician Yoni Laham last year, with the aim of redefining unisex jewellery. Their approach is simple but effective &ndash; dreaming up designs they would wear themselves. That means huggies and hoop earrings, chokers and pendants, and cuff and chain bracelets, emblazoned with messages like &ldquo;pray for us&rdquo; and &ldquo;every sinner dies a saint&rdquo;.

&nbsp;

Vita Fede

Meaning &ldquo;life&rdquo; and &ldquo;faith&rdquo; in Italian, Vita Fede is the brainchild of actress turned jeweller Cynthia Sakai. Drawing on Sakai&rsquo;s own diverse heritage, the jewellery brand fuses Asian, American, and European influences to create contemporary classics that evoke a universal point of view. Each gold and silver piece is handcrafted in Italy, with unisex designs ranging from spiked rings and bracelets to sinuous earrings to crystal-embellished &ldquo;shoelry&rdquo; for your sneakers and boots. Vita Fede is a favourite of Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet and Kendall Jenner, which should be endorsement enough for you.

&nbsp;

Pattaraphan

You might not have heard of Pattaraphan before, but you&rsquo;re likely to have seen its designs on celebrities such as Gigi Hadid and Yungblud. Pattaraphan Salirathavibhaga established her eponymous label just two years ago, but her gender-neutral accessories have already skyrocketed in popularity, thanks to semi-abstract, whimsical creations like soda tab necklaces and architectural ear cuffs, which feature unusual motifs of fishing hooks and femurs. What&rsquo;s more, Pattaraphan is committed to sustainability, with every piece crafted by artisans using only responsibly sourced raw materials in order to support local communities and minimise waste in the founder&rsquo;s native country of Thailand. You really can&rsquo;t ask for more in a brand.

&nbsp;

Eva Fehren

Born and raised in the West Village in Manhattan, Eva Zuckerman continues to be inspired by the urban patterns and architectural elements of New York City. Late last year, she launched the first-ever line of gender-neutral jewellery under her acclaimed brand Eva Fehren, dubbed XX/XY. With a tag line of &ldquo;For Him. For Her. For Them. For Us,&rdquo; the edgy collection comprises strong silhouettes and angular details on lapel pins, collar chains, cuff links, stud earrings, stackable rings, and more in blackened or palladium white gold, set with geometric-cut black and grey diamonds.
