For decades, the focus and curiosity of relatives, friends and invitees to a wedding has been on the wedding ring of the bride … but not anymore. For long, men’s wedding bands were in the form of simple wide gold bands, whereas, those of women were more sophisticated in style and design with their wedding bands displaying diamonds and various other gem stones. Today, men’s wedding bands have become just as stylish and sophisticated in design and sport diamonds, gem stones and are preferred in white gold, two tone, titanium, platinum, tungsten and palladium metal. However, to those who are not in a position to afford men’s diamond wedding bands, most jewelers also have a range of cheap men’s wedding rings.
Selecting men’s wedding rings
Until now, selecting wedding rings for women at a jewelry store was not easy, owing to the vast range of such rings on display. Moreover, when making such important choices, women have proved to be much more discerning in their selection of wedding bands and this usually leads to indecisiveness. Today, choosing men’s wedding rings, or for that matter, men’s diamond wedding bands are just as confusing because with the growing demand of style, design and sophistication, the range of men’s wedding bands have also grown significantly. Fortunately, the diamonds for men’s diamond wedding bands are available in different shapes, sizes and colors, making it easy for a groom to select a suitable ring which matches his personality and style. Just like women’s wedding bands, men’s wedding bands generally carry a craftsmanship and ring evaluation warranty that also provides a satisfaction guarantee. Jewelers usually refund the product price if a wedding ring is found defective in its craftsmanship. However, this will be based on the condition, that the particular ring is not damaged, or has gem stones missing as also scratches or other marks.
The personal choice of men’s wedding rings
In most parts of the world including America, men prefer to go in for wedding bands that are macho, sturdy and rugged in appearance insofar as the metal is concerned. This personal choice also applies to the type, color and size of the gem stones to be embedded in men’s wedding bands. As men’s gold wedding bands are rather soft, they are now choosing harder metals such as platinum, palladium and tungsten. When choosing wide metal bands from the range of men’s wedding bands, men also prefer engraved styles, knotty designs or a more textured finish in their wedding rings.
Despite their luster and rugged designs, men’s wedding bands, particularly those of gold, must be polished regularly. On the other hand, for cheap men’s wedding bands to last, they must also be cleaned and polished regularly. The advantage of tungsten, platinum or palladium is that they are scratch resistant being very hard by nature and therefore, such rings can last many lifetimes and ultimately become precious family heirlooms. Then again, like a wedding ring, love must also last a lifetime.
