When it comes to wedding rings, most of the attention goes to the bride’s engagement ring. But what about the groom’s wedding ring? Men deserve to have a ring they love and would want to wear every day, too. Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect wedding ring for him.
Choose a metal
Yellow gold is the most traditional option of them all. Its timeless appeal and classic look make it a popular choice for wedding rings, as best exemplified by this classic yellow gold wedding band from Zadok Jewelers. For a warmer toned ring, consider rose gold. Its warm, pinkish hue comes from an alloy of gold mixed with copper. Rose gold offers a distinctive and romantic look, which can be seen on this Quentin faceted hexagonal ring in 18k rose gold.
White gold gets its modern look from rhodium plating. It’s bright and shiny, making it a very modern and contemporary choice. If you’re looking for something in a similar color but more durable, consider platinum. If your groom-to-be works with his hands, platinum is a great choice because this metal resists bending and scratching. Just take a look at this satin-finished classic men’s wedding ring, accented with three high polished engraved bands centered on a platinum band.
Though less common now, silver is yet another classic option. It’s more affordable but less durable than the other precious metals. Consider this stylish and very modern looking sterling silver and black rhodium fluted wedding band from Walters Faith. You might also want to check out modern alternative metals like tungsten and titanium. These metals are extremely durable and offer a more industrial look. For instance, consider this white tungsten carbide wedding band with wire brush finish from ArtCarved.
Choose a size and width
Getting the right size is crucial. The ring should fit comfortably without being too tight or too loose. When it comes to width, consider his hand size and personal style. Wider bands can make a bold statement, while narrower bands are more subtle.
Choose a finish
You can choose a high polish for a shiny, reflective appearance or a matte finish for a more subdued look. And for those who like a bit of texture or need something to fidget with, consider a wedding band with a hammered finish or with inlays.
For optimum comfort, look for a satin finish in a lightweight metal.. Consider this classic smooth band with a satin finish, hand engraved with crescent silhouette details and subtle milgrain.
Find a great jeweler
Once you have a clear idea of what the groom wants, the next step is to find a reputable jeweler. Look for a jeweler with good reviews, a wide selection, and excellent customer service. As the best place for men’s wedding bands, Zadok Jewelers provides a wide range of options and exceptional service to help you find or create the perfect ring.
Make it uniquely his
Adding special details like engraving can make the ring uniquely yours. You can engrave a meaningful date, a special message, or even a symbol that holds significance for both of you. Zadok Jewelers offers engraving and other custom services to personalize your wedding band.
By considering these factors, you can choose a wedding ring for him that he’ll love and cherish for the rest of his life.
