You've picked the perfect engagement ring for your partner, begun the wedding planning process, and now, it's your turn to select a piece of jewelry: your wedding band. Men's wedding bands are often little more than a thought—while an engagement ring garners a lot of attention before a couple's wedding, the wedding bands are just as beautifully symbolic and important. Men's wedding bands represent and reflect the bond between a couple, and are a daily reminder of your special day for years to come.
However, browsing the many different choices of men's wedding bands that are available can be a tricky process. With Rumanoff's Jewelry of Hamden, Connecticut, the process can be easy and effortless. Here's everything you need to know before you head out and begin looking for the right style of men's wedding band for you.
Consider the Band Size and Width
When it comes to men's wedding bands, there's a lot of variety to be found in one of the simplest aspects of a ring: the band width. Often, men's wedding bands tend to be on the thicker side—yet there's no reason you must follow tradition. Instead, you can choose a width that suits your hand and your ring finger. Try out different sizes, such as a thin band like one of the Hearts on Fire Half-Round Comfort Fit bands along with wide, layered bands like the rings of the TACORI Sculpted Crescent collection to determine what looks and feels best. A wide band can make small fingers appear shorter, and thin bands can lengthen fingers' appearance, but you want to be sure whatever width you choose feels comfortable and suits your personal style.
Think About the Precious Metal
The color of your wedding band is determined by a few factors: the precious metal it's made from, and any additional decorations you opt for along its surface. This means the metal you choose is an important piece of the process. Men's wedding bands come in many different metals, from shiny yellow gold and white gold to cool and classic platinum or silver to the more unique options of rose gold.
When considering what metal you'd like your men's wedding band crafted out of, think about the following factors. Some, such as platinum styles are more durable and never prone to scratches or dents. Other metals, like rose gold rings such as those of the TACORI Sculpted Crescent collection and yellow gold bands like the Liberfarb Non Diamonds collection, are softer in their nature and are better for those who don't work with their hands.
Choose a Finish: Polish, Detailing, or Texture
Lastly, you want your men's wedding band to stand out—but you also want it to reflect your personal style. As you browse your options among the many styles, look for a band that captures your own flair. Traditionally, men's wedding bands are polished and shining with little detailing along the band. In recent years, however, textural and decorative finishes have become all the rage. Your band can reflect you, whether that means adding texture, embedding gemstones, or keeping things simple.
Men who want to stay traditional and classic can choose bands like the Benchmark collection that feature brightly shining metal. Want a little more of a unique look? You can opt for textural additions like matte finish, which is less reflective, or hammered detailing, which creates a layer of indents in unique patterns. Styles such as the textured styles of Benchmark's Design rings offer excellent and stylish textural men's wedding bands. You can also add a little sparkle or shine with detailing like diamond or other gemstone accents, like the bands of the Hearts on Fire Coupled Multi Diamond or TACORI's Classic Crescent collections for an entirely modern twist on the traditional look of a wedding band.
