Mens Wedding Bands Selection besides Gold

By: Ted Crist

Wedding bands is a symbol of eternal relationship. Mens wearing wedding bands to show that he is not available and he denote his commitment to his bride.

Some men love to wear jewelry, some are not. For men that don’t wear jewelry, the only one jewelry that used is usually mens wedding bands. Because of that reason, mens want to have mens wedding bands that special, something that he really likes.

Gold is the material that commonly used for wedding bands, but there are some other choices for a man that wants to be different. The most preferred material to use as mens wedding bands besides gold is Titanium, platinum and recently tungsten carbide.

Titanium is a hypo-allergenic and corrosion free metal. This material is light weight but strong. Usually the colors of titanium are grey, but there’s also black titanium and some anodized with another color.

Platinum is a white metal, and it looks like white gold ring, but harder, heavier and stronger. Platinum ring is a rare material, and that what makes platinum rings so expensive.

Tungsten carbide is the hardest material from all the material that used to make mens rings (8 - 9 Mohs hardness scale, while diamond is 10). If you want scratch resistance ring, tungsten carbide ring is your best choice. Because it’s hard, you can wear it anytime anywhere.

Actually there are still other options for mens wedding bands material, such as stainless steel, silver, exotic material such as carbon fiber, etc. Silver is not used for mens wedding bands because they are not so durable. Good quality stainless steel ring actually can be used for mens wedding bands, but they are not so popular because most people don’t see stainless steel rings as a precious metal.

If you already choose which material that you will be used for your mens wedding bands, but you don’t like the style that offered by jeweler, you can create your own style. Just make sure you choose an expert jeweler that can transfer your imagination into reality perfectly.
