Choosing a Durable Money Clip That Has Class

A great item to get for just about any man on your shopping list is a money clip. This classic gift is a staple in nearly every man’s collection of accessories. Although a money clip is a standard and generally safe present that most men will love, it is a good idea to consider the many different styles and designs so that your purchase is one that will be durable and look classy.

Leather is a favorite material for a lot of guys, especially ones who like a more casual lifestyle or who have a generally laid back personality. The leather money clip is a fantastic present for a man who likes beer and pizza on the weekends instead of Champaign and caviar.

The gentleman who prefers Champaign and caviar would appreciate gold, but when it comes to buying a money clip, it is important to consider that the clip will go through a lot of wear and tear. A soft metal like gold is probably best suited for items like watches and rings. A money clip covered in gold plating is an option if you want the look of gold without the weaknesses associated with the metal. This option is also relatively inexpensive. One thing to consider is how often the money clip will be used. The gold plating might wear off over time.

Silver, on the other hand, is a classy choice for a money clip that may appeal to any gentleman on your list. This tougher metal can withstand being tugged and pulled in and out of pockets. The silver money clip carries the rich feel of the gold without the vulnerability of the delicate gold. Stores that specialize in American Southwest jewelry and accessories offer silver money clips that are engraved with southwest designs or that have turquoise or other semiprecious stone inlays.  These are beautiful pieces that have lasting value.

Bronze money clips are also durable.  Like the silver version of money clip designs, bronze clips often have engravings or semiprecious gem inlays that add to their aesthetic appeal and value.
