bitemen As COEUR DE LION unveils their new men’s jewellery collection, Jada Brookes is intrigued by the gemstone and metal spike cubes. Jewellery Brand Profile Coeur de Lion G erman jewellery brand COEUR DE LION’s new men’s collection chan- nels its familiar design language into a distinctly masculine expression, refining its signature clarity into strong, grounded and effortlessly modern pieces. It anchors the li- on-head emblem in every piece, giving each one a sense of character and an empower- ing force. Described as “between masculine character and fine elegance” by the brand, the pieces intersect rugged, industrial design with understated, refined aesthetics. The new offering is shaped for the style‑con- scious man who values pieces that speak softly yet decisively. COEUR DE LION’s approach is rooted in timeless design and high‑quality craftsmanship, creating jewel- lery that is personal rather than performa- tive. Whether exploring bracelets, necklaces, or watches, the collection reveals a consistent dedication to clean lines, fine materials and understated elegance. Each piece is designed to complement a man’s existing style. Stainless steel, leather and natural stones form the backbone of the collection, cho- sen for their aesthetic appeal, durability and symbolism. Stainless steel brings a cool, ar- chitectural clarity; leather adds warmth and tactility; and natural stones introduce depth, meaning and individuality. Haematite, for instance, is associated with inner strength; tiger’s eye, with its golden bands, symbolises courage and self‑confidence; and onyx, deep and polished, offers a sense of calm authority. Intricate pieces like the Spikes Silver Stain- less Steel Necklace with Reversible Pendant distil clean geometry into a powerful expres- sion of modern masculine elegance. Its fine silver‑coloured stainless-steel chain carries a double‑sided pendant that shifts in character depending on how it is worn. One side fea- tures a spiked design, a sculptural arrange- ment that creates a sharp architectural effect, and the reverse offers a calmer surface, de- fined by a finely engraved lion head. The Link Chain Silver Necklace epitomis- es masculine elegance and contemporary simplicity. This exclusive piece of jewellery combines strength and style and will quick- ly become an indispensable part of a man’s everyday wardrobe. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the link chain is characterised by its robust yet sophisticated design. It can be worn on its own or with other pieces of jewellery such as the matching unisex Link Chain Silver Bracelet. The majority of the pieces in the collection are bracelets crafted from 316L stainless steel, a material renowned for its exceptional robustness. Scratch‑resistant, corrosion‑re- sistant and hypoallergenic, it is designed to withstand daily wear without losing its clarity or shine. Combined with high‑quality leather or natural stones such as haematite and onyx, the bracelets balance elegance and endur- ance. They are pieces that are resilient in the office, unfazed during sports, and refined for special occasions. The Tiger’s Eye Cubes Bracelet with Textured Stainless Steel combines striking tiger’s eye cube elements with precisely crafted stainless steel cubes featuring varied surface textures. Engraved, grooved and graphically textured stainless steel elements interact with the warm brown and golden tones of the tiger’s eye to create a distinctive balance of natural depth and architectural clarity. The cubes’ linear arrangement gives the bracelet a con- temporary presence with a masculine char- acter. Another great piece is the Stainless Steel Cubes Bracelet with Textured Surfaces and Gold-Coloured Stainless Steel. Its textured stainless steel cube elements blend with a striking gold-coloured stainless steel ac- cent, translating geometric precision into a modern masculine design language. The silver-coloured stainless steel meets a single gold-toned cube, creating a subtle signature contrast. Its stainless steel lobster clasp with extension chain ensures flexible comfort and a precise finish. With similar designs, the Brown Leather Bracelet with Stainless Steel Spikes Cubes and the Black Leather Bracelet with Gun Metal Stainless Steel Spikes Cubes pair their
