Men’s Wedding Bands (page 2)
10 Questions to Answer Before Choosing
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.
