Fine jewellery in Sri Lanka is no longer bound by gender. Accessorising has become an expression of individual style, and a growing number of gentlemen now regard jewellery as an essential part of a considered, modern wardrobe. DINIDU, located in Colombo 07, sits at the heart of this shift, recognised as the island’s go-to atelier for men’s fine and luxury jewellery crafted with intention.
How has men’s jewellery evolved in Sri Lanka?
Over the past decade, men’s jewellery trends have moved from the purely traditional to the design-led. Wedding bands featuring centre stones, designer ear studs and cufflinks have become everyday staples, and signet rings have re-emerged as stylish accessories to represent one’s identity. For many gentlemen, these pieces are worn as status symbols and long-term investments, while younger buyers increasingly favour coloured stones and diamonds for a bolder, more personal statement.
What are the most popular ring designs for men?
Rings remain the cornerstone of men’s fine jewellery, led by wedding bands and signet rings, alongside astrological commissions such as Navaratna gemstone rings. The most requested stones are black diamond, gomeda (hessonite garnet), black onyx and ‘Kaka nil’ dark blue and black-hued sapphire, most often in the elegant emerald cut, while platinum, 18K white gold and silver are the favoured metals. Textured band designs with matte-hammered finishes, engraved incisions, dune ridges, geometric patterns and rustic brush finishes are likewise popular with the brand’s clientele.
Every men’s ring design is tailored to his budget and taste, whether it’s a restrained gents’ ring design, often in silver, starting at around Rs. 64,000; an intricate gents’ ring gold design, starting at around Rs. 200,000; or signature DINIDU rings, set with diamonds and rare gemstones, typically priced at higher ranges. Such distinctive DINIDU designs include:
● Nikolai Diamonds and Platinum Ring
● Ceylon Hessonite Garnet and Round Brilliant Diamonds Rose Gold Halo Ring
● Eventide ‘Kaka Nil’ Sapphire and Yellow Gold Ring
● Blue Sapphires and Yellow Gold Reversible Flip Ring
● Yellow Gold Lion Ring

What cufflinks and formal accessories does DINIDU offer?
Cufflinks are a natural entry point into men’s jewellery, crafted in engraved metal, with initials, logos, motifs and gemstone-set designs, with the blue sapphire and silver pairing being the most popular. Beyond cufflinks, the brand creates tie pins, collar pins, brooches, lapel pins andbejewelled shirt buttons; favoured for weddings, corporate events and gifting alike. Bespoke cufflinks and formal accessories typically begin at around Rs. 120,000.
Which bracelets, chains and earrings suit men?
As men’s popular wristwear, link-style bracelets are in demand. Men’s bracelet designs are most often requested in silver or 18K and 22K gold, with black diamond settings being a frequent bespoke request for a masculine, one-of-a-kind finish. A gents’ gold bracelet works beautifully for casual, everyday wear or as a statement piece.
For the neckline, link chains in silver and 18K and 22K gold lead the trend, often paired with a pendant such as the bestselling Yellow Gold Angel Wing Pendant, a standout men’s necklacechoice that’s also available in black-plated white gold. A gents’ gold chain design can be crafted to varied weights and lengths, such as 18K gold, typically ranging between Rs. 150,000 and 400,000, as well as 22K gold ranging between Rs. 230,000 and Rs. 650,000.
Interest in men’s earrings has grown sharply, with single ear studs and button styles set in diamond, black diamond, sapphire and emerald gemstones becoming the most in demand. Most requested gemstone cuts include the cushion, princess and emerald shapes, as observed in some of their best-selling designs, including the Cushion Diamond and White Gold Stud Earring and the Aspen Diamond and Yellow Gold Earring. While sapphire ear studs range between Rs. 130,000 and Rs. 270,000, popular diamond ear studs start at about Rs. 140,000 and typically range up to Rs. 350,000 on the higher end.
