My girl is a 'professional' (meaning she has a position of mangerial responsibility in a firm that values appearance more than substance and she must deal with 'snooty' people all day who will judge her appearance in the extreme -and- they hate me because I will not/do not have to play their games)...
Last Christmas I was looking for something unique for her by way of (another) collar she might wear in public without anyone batting an eye (she has several like this including a string of pearls choker and a more traditional 'solid' stainless steel ring)... I stopped by (It was either Zales or Kay Jewlers - although I belive it was the later) and inquired about chokers they might have...
As they were scrambling to find something, I chanced to look in the display case below me and there was a sterling silver multi chain (heavy in appearance, but small enough to be unisexually possible) with a small flat engravable tag on it...
The entire thing was (shockingly) only about 75$US (or, less - I know it was a fraction of what I was considering to spend at the time)... they could not engrave it there, so I took it further into the mall to a "Things Remembered" store and for ~18.50$US had "girl" engraved on it.
She really liked it and wears it all the time and it is something which can easily be worn under a shirt with some other pendant (or, a tie in your boy's case?) on top without attracting notice.
Just thought to mention it as the economy and uniqueness of this pleased me in the extreme and she likes it very much as well -and- since the tag is "reversable" (viewable from both sides depending on how it is worn) you might want to get his name (or, other suitable thing) on one side and something personal on the other - I did not think of this until afterward - but, as mine says "girl", there is nothing that can really be inferred from this except that I am a potential sexual chauvanist.
We have since met someone who has one in 10k gold from the same store.

Originally I wanted something I could engrave, but I've pretty much given up on that. He's not married, so I considered a ring on his left hand. Also considered bracelets and of course necklaces. Like me, he tends to wear 'yellow gold' as opposed to anything silver in color, so it needs to be at least two toned. (Adding the yellow gold is usually when the price shoots up.) I am VERY open to suggestions at this point.
