Gents, there are a few things to keep in mind while shopping for your wedding:

1. Style: Guys, you’re going to wear your wedding band for a long time (hopefully), so nailing down a band style is a must. Are you one who wants a little flash in your life? Perhaps a ring with stones or an eye-catching design would be perfect for you. If you the only jewelry you’re ever going to wear is this, consider a plain style that doesn’t draw much attention.

2. Color: Finding a color that represents you is totally doable with all the different metals for men’s bands. Black, gray and silver are both modern for grooms looking for a masculine shade. If you’ve decide to get a ring that matches your fiancé’s engagement ring, you still have options when it comes to color. If they have a rose gold engagement ring and you’re not completely sold on wearing rose, consider getting a two-tone ring. Not only are you adding some great contrast, but you’re also adding a little sentiment by having a representation of their engagement ring.

3. Durability: Having a ring that can withstand you career or hobbies is a necessity. Check out our alternative’s metal page to learn about the metals we offer.

Classic Wedding Bands

Many grooms want a simple band that’s not cause for too much attention. Gold has always been a standard for engagement and wedding jewelry, thanks to its naturally warm, yellow hue and beautiful luster. It’s a timeless style for the groom, that never take away from the bride’s stunning engagement ring. Platinum bands are great for the groom as they are simple to the naked eye but are made of one of the highest quality of all metals. This metal is strong and durable, making it the perfect choice as a wedding ring or a setting for a diamond or gemstone. Unlike other white-tone metals, platinum doesn't require re-plating to maintain its luster. This makes platinum an easy, low-maintenance option.

Alternative Wedding Rings

Grooms are looking to alternative metal styles for unique and modern left-hand accessories. Tungsten, titanium and stainless-steel rings are popular metals for their masculine look and durability. Many alternative metals don’t tarnish and are affordable. Keep in mind some of these metals cannot be resized. Learn more about alternative metals here.
