When a person, typically a man, thinks of men’s wedding bands they will often shudder at the thought of having to wear a traditional gold, silver, and in some cases diamond rings. Not that some of things rings aren’t striking in their own right but most men find these types and style of rings to be somewhat less macho than they would prefer. Having known several men who got engaged recently I can tell you that this is absolutely true.
One of these people happened to be a close friend of mine of many years who got engaged only a couple of months ago. This person is the type of man that wears no jewelry and finds the majority of it feminine. As he’s a compromising person he had no objections to wearing a wedding band but wanted to find one that looked less like a woman’s accessory and more like something a man could be proud of wearing.
As fate would have it, I was invited by both my good friend and his fiancée to help them look for Mens Wedding Bands. This is normally the type of thing I really try to stay away from but I wanted to go if for no other reason that to razz my friend about the ring he was going to be wearing for the rest of his life. As it turns out however that opportunity would never arise as almost immediately after we started searching we came across some rings made of titanium and others of Tungsten.
These rings where far different that anything any of us had ever seen. I saw a few too that I would even consider purchasing if I were not already married. The one ring in particular that really caught my eye and his as well was a titanium ring with multicolored inlets. The ring itself was solid black but the inlets where a bluish silver which really made the ring look great. This ring however was a bit outside of his fiancée’s budget and so he ended up with a grey titanium ring with crisscrossing in cut lines.
I’ll say this about men’s wedding bands. They’ve come a long way in a short amount of time. When I got married five years ago I never saw anything like I saw out with my friends. The tungsten and titanium specifically made the more traditional gold and sliver men’s rings look pale and weak. Now that I’ve seen these types of rings I will be suggesting them to the remaining friends of mine who have yet to find or even look for a ring.
