Suggestions for mens pendants
Hey guys, I have a silver chain I want to attach a pendant to, do you have any good websites or suggestions that wouldn't come across as too feminine?

I recommend looking at secondhand, you'll find a ton of variety at pretty cheap prices. Rubylane is a great website for buying vintage and antique jewelry, and of course eBay will have a ton as well. You should be able to get good silver charms for under $50.
As far as what comes off as feminine, that's gonna depend on a lot more than just the pendant itself. Most men when getting into jewelry assume it will come off as more feminine than it actually will.
Also make sure that you're not hanging a pendant that's heavier than your chain. This is for structural stability. If the seller doesn't list the weight, you can always ask.
Sorry for the late response didn’t see you responded
Do you have a Uk alternative for ruby lane ?
Also I was looking at this pendant but I think it might be a bit feminine https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1651122543/

Might look at eBay that’s a good idea
Ruby Lane has sellers in the UK. Unfortunately, they don't let you filter for location so that makes it tricky if you don't want to deal with international shipping. Ebay is better about that, but they have a lower barrier for entry for sellers (Ruby Lane certainly has some crappy stuff but you have to at bare minimum be a real business to sell there).
I like that pendant, the consideration is whether you'd be able to add it to your existing chain. If you don't want them to give you a chain, you can ask them if they can add a bail instead of threading it on a chain.
I wouldn't overthink whether this looks feminine if you like it, it's more important to consider how it fits with your outfit. If you wear something like that over men's clothes I don't think it will be feminine, that comes more from the overall style of your outfit. I'd recommend looking through posts on #waywt for inspo on how to style this, there are plenty of people here who style jewelry in a masculine way: @smiles @Digs @raisins no peanuts and @Char - i am sexytea come to mind as men who incorporate jewelry well into menswear and post all the time. @Billiam's PC also incorporates jewelry really well into his style, he wears a fair amount of womenswear and imo still looks masculine.
Just wear it. I buy jewelry from retailers for women all the time
Same
The distinction between men's and women's clothes is made up in general but this is doubly true for jewelry
Okay thank you, I’ll look at their posts
I have another slightly stupid question
Do you were chains outside or tucked in
Not a stupid question. It depends, both can work depending on the outfit
There's not really a rule about that, try it both ways and see which you prefer.
