Wedding Bands and Wedding Rings for Men

What should I consider when buying a men’s wedding band?

Before buying your king’s wedding band, consider the following:

• His Metal Preferences: Consider a metal that aligns with his preferences and lifestyle– 14K or 18K gold, or 950 platinum, are durable, elegant choices.
• Skin Concerns: Opt for a hypoallergenic option, especially if he has sensitive skin.
• Skin Tone: Make sure the metal complements his skin tone.
• Lifestyle: Consider his daily routine and select a design that strikes a balance between comfort and long-term wearability.
• Band Width and Finish: Explore various widths and finishes to match his personality–whether minimalist, bold, or refined. Let him try both traditional and comfort-fit bands to see what feels right.
• Meaningful Design: Pick a band with a timeless design and personal meaning–one that carries the essence of your love story through every detail.

What type of diamond should I choose for a men’s wedding band?

You can choose natural diamonds for men’s bands if you want to spoil him with a luxurious, rare piece. Choose lab-grown diamonds for the same brilliance but under budget constraints.

If you’re confused among the shapes, princess, and round cuts are best for men who love popular and romantic styles. If he likes one-of-a-kind, edgy styles, opt for emeralds and straight baguette shapes.

What is the ideal carat weight for men's wedding band?

For a subtle men’s wedding band, the ideal carat weight for the center stone can be 0.1 to 1. If you want something more intricate, go for one with several accent stones with a total carat weight of 1 or a bit more. Don’t forget to consider the band's width and his personal style while making the decision.

Which men’s wedding bands are best for everyday wear?

For everyday wear, opt for men’s wedding bands crafted from durable metals, such as 14K gold or 950 platinum. Prioritize comfort fit style with rounded interiors as they truly give that barely-there feel. Steer clear of heavy, intricate designs or diamonds that are too exposed, especially if he has to do physically strenuous jobs. Instead, get minimalist ones with a channel stone setting for a secure yet sharp look.

How do I determine the right size for a men’s wedding band?

Determine the right size of a men’s wedding band by using a professional ring sizing tool. If that’s not available, wind a paper around his finger and mark it where the paper overlaps. Measure the size and check out our ring size chart. If you’re considering wide bands, go up half a size for optimal comfort. Of course, if he already has a reference size, you can use that as well.
