Luxury Wedding Bands for Men

When people think of wedding rings for men, they usually imagine a traditional, shiny gold band. As styles have changed for women’s engagement and wedding rings, however, so have men’s wedding ring options and choices. The development of new materials and the interest of creative designers have resulted in luxury wedding bands perfect for the modern groom. Now there are cutting-edge wedding jewelry designs, as well as traditional styles for men’s wedding jewelry.

Traditional Materials

Men’s wedding bands have traditionally been made of platinum, 14 kt. or 18 kt. white or yellow gold, or sterling silver. This classic style band is still favored by many men. They are available everywhere and are a suitable option for price-conscious shoppers.

New Materials

The new luxury wedding rings for men look stylish and suit black tie to casual events. New materials with their own special properties offer exciting new design possibilities. Here are a few of the new materials.

Titanium

Titanium is a popular choice because it is incredibly strong, yet amazingly lightweight, making it very comfortable. It has a clean, gray matte color. Titanium is often combined with platinum or white gold, as well as set with white diamonds.

Tungsten Carbide 

This is an  extremely durable metal which resists scratches, but it is also brittle. Instead of bending under severe pressure, it will break. This quality makes it safer for men who work with heavy equipment or heavy items.

Colored Gold

Colored gold comes in a rainbow of shades. Green, gray, blue, red, and purple gold are perfect for the truly unique ring style. Rings can be created using one or more of the gold colors. These are rare because some colors of gold can be fragile. 

Chrome Cobalt

This metal has the bright, shiny white color of rhodium-plated white gold. It is lighter in weight than platinum and is highly scratch resistant, even under the most extreme conditions. Because there is no nickel in its alloy, it is hypoallergenic.

Wood

Wood wedding bands are often made using a variety of colored hardwoods. They can be plain wood taking advantage of an attractive grain, have colorful inlays,  be carved into braided patterns, as well as set with colored gemstones or diamonds. They are a great option for people with metal allergies.

Ceramics

Ceramics, a product of the space industry, offers a lightweight, exceedingly tough, scratch resistant, and durable surface.  They retain their polish forever. Available in many colors, the preferred choice is usually white or black. 

Black Wedding Bands

Black wedding bands are increasing in popularity. Black has long been a symbol of strength and power.  For many, black is a symbol of eternal commitment and a statement that only death can separate the couple.

Although black bands are seen as a recent style, they actually have their origins in ancient Greece. At that time, ring makers used black quartz and onyx to carve men’s wedding rings.

Bands made from metals, usually in white or yellow gold, can be created in different finishes. These finishes can be highly polished for a bright and shiny, have a soft satin look, or with a non-reflective a matte finish.
