Jewellery & Watch News
It’s a real honour to be chosen as a groomsman at a wedding. You should take the gesture as the biggest compliment given to you by your friend, family relative, or work colleague. If you’ve been selected as one of the lucky few individuals to accompany the groom throughout the most important moment of his life so far, consider yourself an integral part of the day – a day where you’re going to want to look your best. Some groomsmen will have their complete attire chosen for them, cufflinks, jewellery and a watch included. But more often than not, looking slick and respectable on the day of the wedding is down to you and only you. What will you choose to compliment your suit? How will you put that look together? And where do you even start shopping for these important items?
Here at C W Sellors, we’ve curated a list of elegant statement pieces that are perfect for enhancing a waistcoat, tie and jacket ensemble. It will certainly take the pressure off and give you one less thing to think about. After all, you may be expected to carry out the role of booking transport on the day, organising a bachelor party and helping the groom get ready on the morning of his wedding.
Believe it or not, you’re going to receive quite a lot of attention on the big day. You’ll be accompanying the groom for an entire album’s worth of photos and you’ll have to do a substantial amount of mingling, greeting and small talk with the guests. The most important element of the day for you, however, is to feel comfortable enough in your outfit so that you can enjoy every moment. So, let’s look at how you can complete the perfect groomsman look with minimal effort required. These special items shown in our list of the best gifts and jewellery for groomsmen will create an impact with any suit style. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight in.
Royal Selangor Pewter Frost Hip Flask, 0127001
There is no denying that pre-wedding nerves are real. They take no prisoners and, as a groomsman, you aren’t exempt. You will likely feel those pre-wedding butterflies in the morning, albeit not quite to the same extent as the bride and groom themselves. To accompany your outfit, this Pewter Frost hip flask from Royal Selangor should help take away some of the nervousness you may be experiencing on the morning. But make sure you use the hip flask sensibly. You’ll need to keep in check on the day, being on hand to help and assist wherever the groom may need you, so you’ll need to stay alert and at your best. A little nerve-banishing tipple may be just the thing for your groomsman outfit. Slip it into the inside pocket of your jacket and enjoy using it as part of your ensemble. The hip flask is stylish and tasteful enough to be in wedding pictures as part of your pre-wedding prep. Made from pewter, the Royal Selangor hip flask has been crafted to look like the inside of ice caves. Its geometrically sculpted shape, with facets that pave the face of the flask, also comes with an additional funnel for filling.

Having specialised in crafting unique jewellery designs from this special stone, formed by compressed layers of sediment and fossilised ancient trees, our range is impressive and extensive. It means you can easily mix and match this leather bar bracelet with other designs from the range to complete the perfect groomsman look.

If you happen to be in charge of kitting out yourself and any other groomsmen attending the wedding, consider something like this carry case and cards duo from Scandinavian designer and manufacturer Georg Gensen. The Copenhagen-based company is world-renowned for its high-end homeware products and gift ideas – each one incredibly modern and elegant. The stainless steel carry case and cards item will make a perfect gift idea for all the groomsmen and a special sentiment for them to take away with them when the day is over. The product also makes for a great prop to use when taking part in pre-wedding photography on the morning. Picture it, all the groomsmen sitting down with their hip flasks at a table, enjoying some time with the groom before his big moment arrives and playing a game of cards. Perfect.
Montblanc Extreme 3.0 Cufflinks 130992
As a groomsman, you will be looking for accessories that complete the perfect formal wear ensemble. What’s even better is if you choose an item that you can use after the wedding is over. The Extreme 3.0 collection by Montblanc is inspired by geometric lines and contemporary forms, making this item a perfect accessory for accompanying a modern suit. The cufflinks are crafted from stainless steel and executed with a flawless polish. At the centre of each cufflink is a black-on-black engraved pattern that is classic enough to wear and enjoy on many occasions after the wedding. To complete their sophisticated aesthetic, Montblanc adorns the cufflinks with the brand logo inspired by the highest peak in the Alps, which serves as a hallmark of authenticity and quality craftsmanship throughout the brand’s catalogue.
Sterling Silver Blue John Square Cushion Cufflinks. CL128
There are no compromises when it comes to looking dapper on the morning of the wedding. To look your best, consider a pair of cufflinks like these. Crafted in-house by our talented team of artisans here at C W Sellors, these sterling silver cufflinks have been beautifully polished and encompass a square-shaped piece of Blue John at their centre. The design is clean and contemporary and the gemstone is rare. As one of the scarcest in the world, the semi-precious gemstone is found only in some parts of the Peak District, including Treak Cliff Cavern and Castleton. This is the ultimate accessory to pair with your groomsman outfit, especially if the wedding is taking place in a location in or near the Peak District itself. These Blue John cufflinks secure with a classic T-Bar fastening and are perfect for adding an elegant and timeless finishing touch to your suit.
Sterling Silver Blue John Cut Corner Signet Ring. R123
Why not match the cufflinks above with a striking Blue John signet ring? This design, also designed and crafted in our Ashbourne workshops here in Derbyshire, harnesses the beauty of the Blue John gemstone inside a polished sterling silver setting. The design celebrates the stone’s unique tapestry of purple, blue and yellow golden veins that run throughout the centrepiece, creating a truly fascinating finish. As this natural and rare variety of Calcium Flourite is worked into handcrafted designs, each signet ring is entirely unique, making it a perfect choice for each groomsman to wear as part of a themed look.

Lastly, for something more refined and elegant, a design from Fope is sure to complete your groomsman outfit. This design belongs to the Prima jewellery collection – a distinctive range of designs comprising flexible mesh bracelets and scintillating diamonds. This unusual statement piece is crafted from 18ct white gold and features a matching polished white gold rondel at the centre.
