In this day and age, male wedding rings have become far more fashion forward and there are now plenty of different options to choose from. Because we’re sure that your groom to be doesn’t want to spend hours in the store trying on every mens wedding ring available, we’ve narrowed it down to 10 popular designs.
1. Domed This is the classic choice and the simplistic design is often a good match for the personal style of many men (particularly those who aren’t used to wearing jewellery). This style is available in pretty much every metal, from yellow gold through to platinum.
2. Flat This is another popular choice of male wedding ring, particularly if it will be the only piece of jewellery worn. The design is more contemporary – the squared-off sides make them look sleek and modern. They are also available in pretty much every metal.
3. Gemstone Sometimes men want a little bling, which is why they opt for gemstone or even diamond wedding rings. These bands require more care, as the stones can be easily damaged or even fall out – therefore, they aren’t recommend for guys who work with their hands.
4. Gold This is easily the most traditional choice, and is available in yellow, white or even rose (red/pink) colouring. It’s a particularly popular choice if you want to include an engraving. Just note that some people are actually allergic to gold, so test this before buying.
5. Palladium This is a precious metal that is often referred to as platinum’s country cousin. It rose to popularity during the 1930s when platinum was not allowed to be used in jewellery, as it holds many of the same properties but doesn’t have as high a price tag.
6. Patterned For a bit of a twist on the classic band, you could opt for one that has a bit of a pattern. Two-toned ones are made from two different metals, whereas milgrain is a tiny bead pattern along the edge. Woven and weave are probably the most popular patterns.
7. Platinum This is a silver/white coloured metal that is considered the most valuable of all precious metals. It is prone to scratching, but these can be easily buffed out. Many grooms opt for these bands if they want a valuable, long lasting purchase that’s also fashionable.
8. Sterling Silver At the least expensive of all metals, these bands are a popular choice amongst the budget conscious. It is important to note that they will require a fair bit of attention, as sterling silver is prone to dents and nicks. It also tarnishes easily, so requires polishing.
9. Titanium This is a very lightweight metal that’s known for being unbreakable, which makes it a great choice for a band. It’s quite affordable and has an industrial finish – the fact that the metal doesn’t shine is often appealing to men who aren’t into frills.
10.Tungsten This is a highly durable, scratch resistant metal that is often popular because of its cost effectiveness. It comes in a dark grey colour, which offers a nice change to the traditional gold and silver band colours. It is quite heavy, which can be uncomfortable.
We hope that the information provided above has allowed you or your groom to choose the best possible men’s wedding ring. Whether he prefers a diamond wedding ring or something a little more plain, there is sure to be something out there that is absolutely perfect for his tastes.
