What makes a wedding band a men’s wedding band?
Many couples are interested in wedding bands made specifically for a man or woman. We do not list many of the wedding bands on our site exclusively for men or women as there is no specific rule as to which bands are for men and women. However, we are happy to provide guidelines to help you make an informed decision and we can even make custom rings.
Style
Some men are more conscious than others of fashion trends and thus prefer specific styles. Some may prefer specific metals while others may be most interested in the form (width, weight, color) of the wedding band. For example, tungsten carbide is a very strong, heavy metal with variable finishes, yet titanium is light weight, much duller and has only a quarter the strength. Often finding out what other style-conscious men in the area are wearing will be a good indicator of what styles are popular.
Physical Build
It is important to consider the man’s physical build when choosing a ring. A larger man might prefer a wider, heavier band (i.e. 8mm), while a more slender man may be more comfortable with a slimmer, lighter band (i.e. 6mm width).
Metal
can be found in a number of metals, including titanium and tungsten carbide. However, many men are more interested in heavier metals such as tungsten based on their type of work. For instance, a man working in a construction field may choose a more durable tungsten carbide band, as opposed to titanium band. Titanium wedding bands are also so light weight that many people end up losing them simply because they can’t physically feel them on their finger. Titanium wedding rings also scratch very easily. And as we all know now, Tungsten rings do NOT scratch! The winner of the Tungsten vs. Titanium comparison is Tungsten!
