Mens Wedding
Congratulations on your engagement ! With the excitement and fun of the ongoing parts of planning your wedding you might have forgot or pushed off one main thing , THE GROOMS RING ! As an essential step in the wedding planning process , the grooms wedding band is often outshined by all the other exciting things about a wedding . But at the end of the day , the groom deserves to find a unique and special ring as well .
If your significant other in not known to wear other pieces of jewelry , then the wedding band may be the first piece of meaningful jewelry they own . The good news is there is no shortage in options for wedding bands , regardless of their unique personality , budget , or lifestyle . So , keep reading to learn just how unique a man ’ s wedding band can be .
Your Lifestyle Before we jump in , the first thing to keep in mind while shopping for the best ring is your lifestyle . Do you use your hands a lot for your job ? Is it rough or dirty work ? Jobs like construction work , mechanic , or even a chef use their hands often so you want a ring that is scratch resistant , but also durable and comfortable . If the day-to-day use of your hands is less demanding then you might want something stylish , detailed or unique to your personality .
Metal Type Yellow gold , white gold , rose gold , platinum , silver , titanium , and the list goes on . There are plenty of options when it comes to choosing what metal you want for your band . The most desired and common metal used in rings today is gold . An important factor to keep in mind with gold is its durability and hardness depends on the karat size .
One of the most prestigious , and expensive metals is platinum . As a white metal it ’ s long wearing and already exceptionally white so it will not need rhodium plated like white gold . They use almost 100 % purity in these rings and since it is a dense metal the ring will feel heavier than other options .
Silver is another option for a wedding band but it ’ s not as popular . It ’ s a softer metal which makes it more susceptible to scratching and other damage . Even though it has a greater tendency to oxidize and turn black , it is easy to restore with silver jewelry cleaner . For this reason , most silver jewelry is used on occasion and not for every day wear like a wedding ring .
Another durable option for men ’ s wedding bands is Titanium . As the strongest naturally occurring metal on earth , Titanium has become a popular option . It ’ s very light weight , despite its strength , but a good thing about its strength is that it ’ s less susceptible to bending , dents and scratches . It ’ s also 100 % hypo-allergenic making it great for people who have reactions to other metals . There is one downside to this metal though . Titanium cannot be soldered or resized , so make sure you get fitted for this metal accurately
