In the past, men’s wedding rings seemed like an
afterthought compared to the engagement ring and the woman’s wedding band.
While men may have once been content with a plain gold band, today they have a
plethora of options. This way, they can find a ring style and see which metal
types work best for their lifestyle. If your groom is more active, he may want
something more durable than pretty, so I’ll run through your different options.
·
Take note of your future husband’s activities when
selecting his ring. Does
he work in an office or does he work as a sports trainer or in a machine shop
where he uses his hands frequently? If that’s the case and he plans to wear his
ring daily, consider opting for a stronger, durable band type. You can find a
wide selection of rings at http://www.delphidiamonds.com.au/wedding-rings.html.
1.
Gold - Gold
is still one of the most traditional options and you can choose from yellow
gold, white gold, or rose gold or even mix them. However, gold isn’t as durable
as other options.
2.
Platinum -
This popular choice is known for both its purity and its durability. Platinum
is more dense, making it extremely durable and making this metal a prime
candidate for men’s rings. If a platinum ring gets scratched, you won’t see any
metal lost or any damage so it will last for many years regardless of what kind
of work he does.
3.
Titanium - Titanium
looks cool and rugged so it appeals to men. Like platinum, it is hypoallergenic
and resistant to corrosion. However, titanium is as strong as steel, but is as
light as aluminium, making it ideal for men who don’t wear a lot of jewellery.
·
Select a ring that fits comfortably and avoid those old
school rings that pinch his skin. Instead, stick to curved rings with smooth
edges as they allow for a more comfortable fit, especially if your groom has
larger hands or knuckles.
·
Consider adding some diamonds now that diamond wedding
rings for men are the norm and not the exception. If he’s active, keep the stones subtle by flush
mounting them and only adding a few.
·
Add some personal details to it. Keep in mind his personal taste as he may prefer a
more simple and plain band with just a few diamond chips and a simple engraving
inside. However, if he likes trendier things, then you can have some fun by
mixing metals or even trying a matte finish instead. He’ll appreciate receiving
a subtle but wearable ring that is a reflection of that love which you share.
As you choose your man’s wedding ring, make sure to
decide whether you want it to match yours or if you want his to stand out as
well. We hope that the points discussed in this article has helped you decide.
