Not long ago the selection of wedding rings for men in jewelry stores
was limited to gold and platinum.
Today the selection of men's wedding rings is just as varied as the
selection for women. The reason is demand. Increasing numbers of men
want more than a traditional wedding ring. If you haven’t thought of
shopping for more than a plain wedding band, the following information
might stimulate your desire for an alternative.
Probably the biggest change in wedding band selection for men is a wider
choice in the type of metal. In addition to gold and platinum, you can
choose tungsten, two-toned gold, stainless steel, or titanium. If you
can’t decide between gold and platinum, a two-toned wedding is the
answer! Wedding bands that feature two different kinds of metal are
attractive and appealing to men who want a ring that looks good at both
work and play. Two-toned rings are usually inexpensive.
A tungsten wedding band is durable and high quality. It has a natural
shine and won't scratch easily, nor does it tarnish. Tungsten wedding
rings do not contain an alloy metal that could cause an allergic
reaction.
Stainless steel has made a comeback in jewelry design. Stainless steel
is very durable, like tungsten. If a man wants a no-frills, inexpensive
wedding band, stainless steel makes a handsome alternative.
The best seller in men's wedding jewelry, however, is titanium. Titanium
is popular with men because of its style. The hammered titanium wedding
band is has a rugged look that appeals to men. Men who ordinarily
wouldn’t want to wear a wedding band because they consider jewelry to be
feminine especially like titanium. Black titanium wedding bands are
particularly a big hit with men. The color alone is definitely an
attention getter, but it’s even better when combined with a diamond or
an inlay of another metal, such as gold.
With the new styles of wedding bands now available to men, bridal sets
for couples are becoming more popular. Selecting a set is a great choice
for couples who want to wear the same style of ring. A couple may also
want to purchase a bridal set because a set is usually less expensive
than two rings in different styles. The only potential problem with
selecting a set is that the couple will have to choose a style that they
both like.
