Creating A Style

I have always been one of those people who is laser-focused on looking as professional as possible, which is why I began second-guessing my choice of jewelry. I could tell that I was starting to look a little older, so I began choosing pieces that were a little more modern and delicate. It was really amazing to see how much of a difference it made in my life, and before I knew it, things had really come together. This website is here to help other people to know how to create a style of their own by using jewelry. Check it out for great information!

Men's Wedding Bands: Choices, Choices!

by Nathan Gordon

Historically men would spend a lot of money on women's wedding bands and in return would be given a relatively cheap gold ring. There used to not be many options for men's wedding rings, and then it seems like people started experimenting with metals and other materials. There are now titanium, tungsten, zirconium, silicon, and even steel wedding bands. Each metal has its own strengths and weaknesses, and understanding these materials can help you to choose the right ring for the man in your life.

Titanium

Titanium is an extremely light and strong metal. It is a tough metal that can keep up with a working man or someone who plays hard too. Titanium is a common metal, which makes it one of the cheapest rings you can buy, though it will probably last the longest. Titanium is hypoallergenic, so if your man has allergies to some metals, there is a good chance he will not have a reaction to this one.

Tungsten

Tungsten is a very hard and heavy metal. It is much weightier on the hand than titanium, which some men enjoy. While it is a hard, scratch-resistant metal, it can fracture under trauma. Should a tungsten ring be hit hard against something, it could shatter or chip. 

Silicon

Silicon rings are a new rage that has hit the nation. These rings are extremely customizable, cheap, comfortable, and flexible. Many men and women have metal bands but still choose to get a silicon ring to wear when working a physical job or lifting weights at the gym. There are many different colors available, as well as textures that you can choose from. Some stronger types of silicon almost feel plastic and can have a shiny appearance.

Steel

Stainless steel rings are a very budget-friendly ring that will shine for years to come. They can be cut into special shapes to convey affection and can even be etched with words for the special occasion of marriage. If maintained improperly, stainless steel rings may come to look worn and scratched, so special consideration should be taken to avoid this.

In conclusion, there are a lot of choices to be made. However, in addition to the type of ring, there is also the choice for customization. For metal rings, you could add a precious stone, such as a diamond or special textures, and silicon rings can be imprinted with words or symbols. Think about what your man would like to look at every day to remind him of his commitment to you. Talk it over with him, and make a trip to your local jeweler to try on some styles.
