Let’s be honest—I’ve had a hard time with men’s silver and gold necklaces. They always end up feeling either too showy or too plain. Finding the perfect piece has been a real challenge. I was looking for something that matched my style—modern, a bit unique, and above all, comfortable.
To be frank, I was nearly ready to give up on wearing a necklace altogether. I just wanted something that felt right without costing a fortune.
My search started out like most people’s: with a Google search. I tried terms like “cool men’s necklaces,” “affordable silver necklaces,” and even “unusual men’s jewelry.” I scrolled through endless pages of chains, pendants, and dog tags, but nothing clicked. Most traditional men’s silver and gold necklace options just weren’t for me.
Then I went down a bit of a rabbit hole. I started browsing rings instead—a little odd, I know. But I figured, “Maybe a stylish ring could satisfy that accessory craving.” That led me to search for things like “affordable men’s rings” and “unique rings for men.”

Takeaway: Never shy away from thinking outside the box when you’re hunting for style inspiration!
That’s when I came across something I didn’t expect: the LGBT Rings Silicone G Pride ring from BlingCharming Jewelry. I know—it’s marketed as a wedding or couple’s ring, and it’s made of silicone! But something about it stood out. The design was clean and contemporary, and the price was just right. The description also noted it was flexible and eco-friendly, which were nice extras.
I did my usual homework. I looked for reviews (even though it isn’t typically used as an alternative to a men’s silver and gold necklace, people still reviewed it!). I checked out the BlingCharming website to see their other products. The site seemed trustworthy, and the prices were fantastic. This ring felt worth a try.
Takeaway: Always research before you buy—check the website and read reviews, even for products you wouldn’t normally consider.
When the ring arrived, I was genuinely impressed. It came packaged in a neat little box, which made a great first impression. The silicone felt smooth and comfortable—not too thick or bulky. I’d ordered it in black, thinking it would be a versatile, everyday color. As it turns out, you can absolutely wear it as an alternative to a men’s silver and gold necklace!
