When choosing a wedding band for a man, it is not just a case of choosing a piece of jewellery that is fashionable. More to the point, it is a piece of jewellery that symbolises your marriage vows as well as eternal love, trust, honour and faith, and once it’s worn it should never be removed. When choosing any type of wedding band the design should not be tacky or tasteless; it should be a timeless quality piece. Designs are down to personal preference, but when buying a wedding band for a man it should be comfortable in size: not too loose or too tight.
If you choose a traditional wedding band for a man then simple plain polished gold would be the most popular choice. If polished gold is not preferred then simple platinum or white gold designs are also available. If you are a follower of fashion then current trends include precious metals, such as tungsten and titanium, which are embellished with diamonds or semi precious stones. This style of ring is more for the man who is fashion conscious and likes to have a little bit of bling other than just a plain gold band.
However, for durability, gold bands are still popular. If you want to splash out then opt for a platinum band. This is more of a precious metal and pricier than gold. It is heavier than gold and has a metallic silver appearance. The main advantage is its durability as well as it being non corrosive and hypoallergenic.
