Men want jewelry that holds some meaning, Ms. Giberson of the Accessories Council said. “They want their jewelry to be unique, to be part of their story telling.” As an example, she pointed to Dune Jewelry, the Boston-based company that 10 years ago introduced a collection of transparent discs — as pendants, on bangles or mounted on rings — that hold sand. The company has sand and dirt from about 3,300 places around the world, including Yankee Stadium, resorts in Dubai and the Maldives, and golf courses in Ireland — a library that Ms. Giberson said it called its Sandbank. “Or people can send in their own sand that they scooped up on vacation,” she said. The resulting pieces are highly personal; Dune calls it experiential jewelry.
