It used to be that men had a very limited choice in their wedding band. While the traditional and classic gold wedding band is still a great choice to symbolize your commitment to one another, there are now many different options available to men and picking a ring with a little bit of style is in!
Men are becoming less afraid of taking chances with their choice of men’s rings and new metals such as titanium and chrome are now being used more and more frequently to express their personal style. Not only are these industrial metals a fun new look for guys, they are also a lot less expensive than gold and platinum.
Diamonds have also become popular with the men. No more shying away from the subtle sparkle! Generally the diamonds in men’s bands are much more understated than those of women’s. They tend to be smaller in size and flush with the band creating a smooth exterior.
While it is always great to have more options available, it can become overwhelming. Here are a few tips to remember when picking out your men’s ring:
- Choose a ring to fit your lifestyle: If you are very active and work with your hands make sure to choose a more durable band such as platinum. This will hold up better than other metals. Also, try to avoid a matte finish, which show scratches.
- Comfort is key: Make sure the ring you select is comfortable. Consider the shape of the ring and the ring width. Make sure the edges are smooth and not sharp.
- Reflect your personal style: Make sure you have a ring that you love and reflects your personality. If you are a simple “no fuss” guy, a traditional gold band might work perfectly. If you want to stand out with a little something different, there are many options available to add a little flare.
