When it comes to wedding bands, a popular choice among couples is to design their own bands, but selecting a style that is unique and characteristic for each person is just as special. Wedding bands today don’t just come in gold, newer metals such as titanium, tungsten and platinum are gaining attention among the newly engaged. Some of the hottest wedding bands for men today, include cutting edge styles in exciting metals.

Men’s wedding bands today don’t differ all that much from women’s wedding bands, as most can be worn be either sex. Selecting the right wedding band can be a wonderful experience and a great way to set the tone for the many days and years that lie ahead. When looking for a men’s wedding band, consideration should be given to size, weight and quality, plus color and cut, if diamonds or other gems are to be included. The weight of the band is key as comfort is critical since wedding bands are worn on a daily basis and meant for long term wear. There are numerous styles, but one of my personal favorites that gets a high rank from clients, is the titanium ring.

Titanium represents a growing trend in fine jewelry, and it’s quickly becoming the preferred metal for wedding bands in particular. Due to its lightweight, corrosion resistant qualities and hypoallergenic characteristics, titanium rings are respected both by designers as well as the individuals who wear them. Fashionable, sleek, lightweight and extremely strong, a titanium ring makes an ideal men’s wedding band. Available in a variety of styles such as natural titanium rings, exotic black titanium rings and hardcore tungsten carbide rings.

Men’s wedding bands are often selected based on weight and what he does for a living. Gold which is a heavy metal, is also more prone to scratches and thinning over time, whereas with a titanium ring, not only is it much lighter in weight, it is more durable. Style plays a significant role as well. There is the classic band which is simple in form, or more intricate designs such as two tone rings like the titanium ring with a gold inlay. Diamonds can also be included, as well as brushed or hammered finishes. Regardless of your style or preference, you can find the right ring for your man at affordable prices. Titanium-Jewelry.com, one of my standby retailers has a wide selection of men’s wedding bands starting as low as $94, allowing you to find the ideal titanium ring for your special day regardless of budget.

Once you selected the men’s wedding band of choice, you will need to ensure the proper size. Many people get nervous when it comes to sizing, but it really is a non issue if done properly. Ideally, you will want to have the ring finger professionally sized, but if this is not an option, no need to worry. Titanium-jewelry.com offers comfort fit rings. This means that the inside of the ring has a slight roundness, allowing the center of the titanium ring to fit closer to the finger than the outer edges. Choosing a comfort fit titanium ring reduces pinching that can occur with a flat design, making the ring more comfortable. A comfort fit ring will be looser on the finger since it is not flat on the inside but rather rounded, making a more comfortable fit. Therefore, when you are getting sized use the narrow finger sizer, which is 3 mm wide, (as opposed to the wider one of 6.5 mm.) This will provide a more accurate finger size. Titanium-jewelry.com will even provide you a plastic finger sizer for free. Additionally, they have a “Ring for Life” program which features an exclusive Lifetime Sizing policy.
