Grooms to be: |
5. Which metal and style do I prefer?
Many men like plain gold bands, with or without a design element, such as a braid, an inlay of a second metal, or engraving. But that is often because they don’t know how many choices there are in metals. Gold comes in yellow, white, rose, and peach. Platinum is white, more expensive than gold, and sometimes easier to bend out of shape. Titanium is high tech and strong. Tungsten carbide -- black or steel grey in color -- is another strong, high-tech metal used in men's wedding bands.
For men who like the latest in technology, that can also be found in how the ring is made, including wave styles or fusion rings that bring together different materials in unique patterns. Combining metals creates exquisite designs. There are also uniquely cultural styles, such as Celtic knots or Claddagh bands.
6. Do I want my ring to match my bride’s?
It’s romantic to wear matching wedding rings, but if you and she have different tastes, different size hands, and completely different personalities, matching rings can represent a problem. Also, if your bride wants her wedding ring to match and possibly connect to her engagement ring, that will make it more complicated to have your ring match hers. On the other hand, you can choose rings with similar features — perhaps the same pattern or combination of metals.
7. Do I have strong feelings about design?
Men's wedding rings are usually simpler than women’s, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a wide variety of designs and styles to choose among. You can have your ring personalized in many ways: with a special symbol, engraving, texture, a Celtic knot, or a geometric shape. Your ring can be any width you like; it can be made of a combination of metals; and it can be simple or ornate.
