You’re engaged. It’s time to start planning for the big day, which means phone calls with supplier after supplier. You have the flowers, photographer, dress, venue, caterer and everything else in between to think about. And you also have the rings. While it’s easy to decide on a wedding ring to suit your engagement ring, supposing that you’re aware of what shape compliments what stone, what about your soon-to-be husband’s?
Men’s wedding rings aren’t often spoken about, but why? It’s still an accessory that’ll become an element of his everyday look. And it’ll also be his symbol of your love, devotion and commitment to one another. With that in mind, getting the style and comfort right is crucial. That’s why we’re here today, to guide you on which type of men’s wedding ring looks and feels best.
What To Think About Before Purchasing
Once you begin to explore online and offline stores for men’s wedding rings, there are four things you need to think about:
- The Width
The width of your wedding ring can determine how comfortable & wide it is. It’ll also effect the size that you need; if your ring is thick, the more you will need to size up to ensure that it fits comfortably. Men will often opt for a 5mm above, preferring a chunkier band than women. - The Metal
There are several metals that you can choose from for your contemporary men’s wedding rings. You have the classic platinum wedding ring, as well as yellow gold, white gold & rose gold. We would always recommend that you choose the metal that best fits in with your everyday style. For instance, if you wear a sterling silver watch often, platinum or white gold will be very complimentary. We often see men purchasing from our range of platinum men’s wedding rings, with yellow gold a close second. - The Profile
The profile of a ring refers to the shape. It is the cross-section of a wedding ring which can vary. This is especially important if you work in roles such as construction, where your ring could get caught on the materials you are working with. In this case, you need to consider the practicality of the profile rather than the style. A rounded profile ensures that the ring doesn’t get in the way of those in construction, whereas other styles, such as a bevelled or flat, would likely get caught due to their sharper edges. - The Finish
There are several finishes to choose from for men’s wedding rings. All of the rings at Joshua James can be finished with a texture, allowing you to create a unique style with your chosen ring profile. Embossing a ring adds a touch of personality & edge to the look, which every modern male would appreciate.
