Essential Guide to Finding the Perfect Men’s Wedding Band For You

Men's wedding bands may have been some of the most overlooked bands in the jewelry industry, but that's all in the past now. Especially since all bands and the engagement ring are traditionally bought by the groom, we've seemed to arrive at the long-awaited conclusion that men's wedding bands deserve just as much attention that all other bridal jewelry items usually get. The good news is: the selection of men's wedding band styles is countless!

And wedding bands are meant to be worn forever, so it’s only natural that a groom picks one that’s absolutely right for him. To ensure that happens, some key aspects of the band need to be considered, such as its metal and its shape. These matter, as they affect the overall care you’ll need to dedicate to the ring as well as how it defines and represents your personal style.

What does a men’s wedding band symbolize?

Wedding bands should signify a couple’s union. Because of that, these rings have traditionally been designed to match in style. Yet, that doesn’t mean that wearing the exact same style as your partner is a must in any way whatsoever! In fact, these days, the key thing is not to match, but rather, to ensure that both will be fully satisfied with their bands for years to come.

Just one thing to keep in mind: whereas the wife can wear her wedding band along with her engagement ring if she chooses to, a men's wedding band is all that a man gets to wear on a daily basis upon marriage. It is precisely for that reason that picking the perfect wedding band, which resonates with his personality, style, taste, and physical appearance, is crucial to a man.

How to choose the perfect wedding band for a man

We are all different and come from many rich, different cultural backgrounds. People's tastes, preferences, and personal styles are a direct reflection of that. Personal taste is a key feature to be taken into account. In addition, physical features should also be considered in order to choose the perfect wedding band for a man. That matters because some colors and metals simply look better on some people than on others. Thus, there's no way to go wrong if you choose to purchase a band that perfectly suits your style.

Picking a men's wedding band by metal color

In order to get you started in your quest to find the right wedding band for you, firstly take into account the different metal colors in the jewelry industry market in order to find out which one is a better suit for your physical features. The right metal color fit should be able to naturally enhance your personality and style even more.

Yellow gold men's wedding bands look amazing on warmer and olive skin undertones, as their hues are harmonious with yellowish hues, effortlessly granting a special glow to whoever wears them. So, if your skin tone is somewhere between warmer to darker, yellow will perfectly complement it, as it’ll simply look amazing on your skin.

White gold looks particularly good on men with fair skin tones, as it naturally harmonizes with their skin, but makes a neutral fit to virtually any kind of skin tone. For that reason, white gold men’s wedding bands' inherent neutral hues render this kind of metal a very popular choice among many grooms.

When we think of silver-like wedding band tones, we may also think of darker silver metals like platinum men’s wedding bands. A similar option is titanium men’s wedding bands, a metal that is darker than silver and, like platinum, considered to be very manly and masculine. Just as white gold, these neutral colors come with the added benefit of being able to match many other accessories worn by men - such as bracelets and even timepieces (since most of the latter are made of stainless steel, which work very well together aesthetically).

Rose gold men's wedding bands usually come in the form of, of course, rose gold or in combined, mixed metal designs. Rose gold is an authentic, distinct metal that is especially popular amongst daring men who like to stand out from the crowd when it comes to choosing to wear their accessories in a bold way. In addition to being an exclusive metal color, as a hue, rose especially enhances the undertones of tanned skin colors.
