When it comes to men’s modern wedding bands, there are a lot more style options than there used to be. Before you make your choice, consider what style you picture yourself wearing for years to come and don’t be afraid to think outside the box!
Choosing the Right Wedding Band for Him
From the metal and the finish to the fit and the type of band, there are a few important details that go into choosing the groom’s wedding band. If you want to explore your options beyond the classic band styles, here are a few unique men’s wedding ring trends to serve as inspiration.
1. Alternative Metal Bands
Gold and platinum may be the most popular wedding band metals, but there are a few other options for the groom who wants to go in another direction. Alternative metals like tungsten and titanium are rising in popularity for their durability. Titanium is a bit more lightweight and hypoallergenic, giving it a slight edge over tungsten for some. Sterling silver and stainless steel are also an option for the more budget-conscious groom. Both are versatile and can come in a variety of finishes. While stainless steel is durable, it can be difficult to resize and repair, so make sure to weigh all the pros and cons before choosing a wedding band in an alternative metal.
2. Diamond Wedding Bands
Traditionally, men’s wedding bands are plain and simple, but for the non-traditional groom, adding diamonds could be the perfect way to make a statement.
Consider choosing black diamonds for a sleek, masculine look that contrasts your metal of choice. Adding small diamonds for significant anniversary milestones can be a meaningful way to update your ring as you deepen your bond and build your lives together.
3. Black Wedding Bands
If traditional yellow or white gold and platinum isn’t really your style, you’re in luck. Black wedding bands made from alternative metals like titanium, tungsten and ion-plated stainless steel are becoming more common every day. Symbolizing strength, power, and resilience, a black wedding band embodies the most important aspects of marital commitment. It also gives the groom another option to express his individual style and have a ring he’ll feel comfortable wearing for years to come.
4. Custom Wedding Bands
If you can’t find a wedding band that feels quite right, you always have the option to combine your favourite details into a custom-designed ring. From your choice of metal and finish to adding a meaningful engraving, there are plenty of ways to personalize your wedding band.
