Wedding rings for men did not become common until the Second World War, when U.S. Soldiers began to wear them to publicize their marital status. Since that time, men’s wedding rings have become ever more popular. Although not all men choose to wear wedding rings, those who do will find themselves with quite an array of options.

Many grooms are curious whether the husband and wife wear matching rings, or whether the groom might prefer a style all his own. It is more common that the man wears a wedding band that does not match his wife's ring. For one, a man usually wears a wider band than the woman. In addition, some men may not feel comfortable wearing a ring that is too ornate, whereas women's rings are more likely to have diamonds or engravings.

Even if the husband chooses a plain band for his wedding ring, the man must still consider the width of the band and the material it will be made out of. While the width of the band will usually correspond to some degree with the size and thickness of the man's hand, the material of the ring will have more to do with style preference, color preference, and - of course - price range.

While the traditional gold band is still a classic choice, white gold and other silver-looking bands are quickly becoming the best sellers. For those men who prefer a white-gold feel but with more durability, titanium or platinum are good options. Naturally, a ring made of better material will have a higher cost.

A wedding ring is something that is purchased for a lifetime, so before settling on any band, the groom-to-be should make sure that it is something he will always be happy with.

Getting married and want to find a perfect wedding ring? With so many styles and materials it can be difficult to make a choice. Being an intelligent consumer, you should learn what your options are before you go to the jewelry shop

Selecting a wedding ring isn’t as easy as it looks. You are going to wear your ring for the rest of your life, so it should be something you won’t get tired of in a couple years. You will have to look at and try on many different rings before you come to a final decision and, being an intelligent consumer, you should know what your options are. First, you will have to decide how much you can afford to spend. Then, with your budget in mind, choose the material you want your ring made of. Wedding ring materials can be:
  • 14K or 18K yellow gold, classic and still very popular for wedding and engagement rings
  • white gold, which is gaining popularity because it looks stylish and very modern. Also white gold can be worn with silver or platinum jewelry and it goes with most fabrics
  • platinum is one of the hardest metals, which in itself makes platinum a suitable symbol for enduring love. It is also very pure: while 18 K gold contains only 75% gold, most platinum jewelry is 95% platinum.
  • Platinum rings look similar to white gold, are very elegant and stylish, don’t scratch and don’t loose their look with the passing years. Platinum rings are the most expensive but, considering that you will wear your ring for the rest of your life, that doesn’t really matter for many couples
  • titanium is long lasting, light and not very expensive, so it has recently became a very popular material for wedding rings. Titanium rings are similar in appearance to white gold rings but they are so light that you can hardly feel one on your finger. Titanium is a particularly popular material for men’s wedding rings
When choosing the material, think of what would work best with your clothes and the other jewelry you usually wear. Is your jewelry box filled with gold or silver? If your favorite pieces are silver, it is a good idea to get a white gold, titanium or platinum wedding ring. Alternatively, you could get two tone ring - usually made from white and yellow gold. This type of ring would match silver jewelry as well as gold. Some women also want to match their wedding rings with their engagement rings. This is certainly something to take into consideration, if you plan to wear both rings on the same hand. Another option is to wear your wedding ring on the left hand and your engagement ring on your right hand - in which case they should probably still be the same color, but don’t have to match so closely. Which wedding ring style to choose? There are many styles available, so everybody can find a ring to suit their tastes. When it comes to style, though, the first thing you have to decide is if you both will wear similar rings or if each will select one that expresses his or her personality. The most popular styles are:
  • Traditional plain bands - even though they are plain, they will always be stylish and fashionable. These are also best suited for men who aren’t accustomed to wearing jewelry
  • Bands with beaded edges are a little more elaborate
  • Two-tone bands which can be worn with either gold or silver jewelry
  • Celtic wedding rings are really hot how. Covered with ancient knotwork designs, they look really stylish
  • Solitaire rings with a single precious stone
  • Solitaries with accents - rings with a large stone and several smaller stones around it
  • Channel diamond rings
The best gem stones for wedding rings Diamonds are unbeatable favorites for wedding rings and with good reason - not only are diamonds the most beautiful and expensive of all precious stones, but they are also the hardest. Other hard stones are rubies and sapphires. Gemstones like amethyst or aquamarine are too soft, which makes them unsuitable for a wedding ring that you are going to wear every day. No matter which style and material you chose, you want a ring that would be comfortable on your finger. For this reason it is always best to go with a ring that is smooth around the edges.
