Start with the person
Start with how he already dresses. A man who wears a plain watch and restrained accessories may enjoy a simple bracelet; someone who wears several rings may appreciate a new shape or surface. His relationship to you helps you gather clues, but it does not tell you whether he wants a ring, bracelet or necklace.
For a first jewelry gift, avoid changing everything at once. A familiar finish in a new, manageable category is easier to judge than a large pendant in a colour he has never worn. For an established collector, identify an actual gap rather than buying another near duplicate.
