The majority of men prefer this timeless wedding ring style—a plain precious metal band in platinum, 18K white or yellow gold, or palladium. Often, a groom will choose the same precious metal for his wedding ring as his bride.
Men’s wedding rings come in a variety of widths. Narrower bands can make for a subtle choice, while wider ones create a more noticeable look. Wider rings tend to be more expensive, as they require a larger quantity of precious metal, but you can balance size and price by choosing a metal that’s within your budget.
Some men want to infuse their wedding ring with their personal style for a more contemporary or detailed look. These grooms will opt for a brushed or hammered finish (as opposed to high polish metal), a band with a gemstone accent, or one that includes a special detail like milgrain (micro-beading), a masculine braid, or other symbols.
A flash of color or sparkle, such as a very thin row of diamonds or sapphires, could be just the subtle element for a man who likes to stand out in a crowd. Diamonds and sapphires are also the most durable gemstones, making them well-suited for the active man.
