Types of Manly Bands Rings Materials
Are you looking for a wedding ring for men to suit your or your fiance’s lifestyle and taste? Whether you are searching for the most popular rings or just want something casual, this guide will walk you through the different men’s wedding ring materials that will make the occasion and commemorate your feelings.
Diamonds/Gems
For men, the diamond is set within the ring itself, more likely to complement the overall look of the ornament rather than being the focal point, as in a women’s ring. The diamond and any other gem in mens wedding rings boost the price a bit, offering a shape and classy look. However, because diamonds look too flashy for a groom’s ring, only a few people use them.
Precious Metals
Gold (yellow, white, rose)
Gold is the most traditional option for men’s wedding rings. It’s a soft material so it can be resized easily more than other materials. On the downside, this also means it can easily get scratched, and the price is pretty high unless you are buying one made from gold playing or lower carat.
Silver
Another classic option is silver, though it’s not that common anymore. Just like gold, silver is also a soft material that can be worn with age. It’s cheaper than other precious metals. Most of the silver rings in the market today are either made from white gold or hard metal.
Platinum
This is the most expensive classic metal that is highly durable. It will look the same for your whole life and gas a natural shine.
Modern Metals
The term modern metals doesn’t mean the metals are manufactured now or needed; instead, their use in wedding rings is modern. They resemble and are often paired with inlays of other materials such as carbon fiber, turquoise, precious metals, and many more. Some of the modern metal groom’s ring options include
Titanium
Titanium is the hardest natural metal, and it is hard to resize. It doesn’t easily get scratched and is quite lightweight. It’s cheaper than the aforementioned precious metals.
Tungsten
Tungsten is the hardest and the most durable material for making ornaments. It’s an artificial metal that is silver in color, though it can be mixed with other materials to give another color, and it’s unbreakable, making it impossible to resize. It’s denser than other metals in the list and heavy. It’s for people who want shouty and noticeable rings.
Unique Materials
Ceramic
Ceramic, although clay, is hard and nearly as durable as other hard materials mentioned. It retains its luster longer than other materials, and it’s affordable. It comes in various unique looks and color options. It’s heavy, so it’s not easy to resize it; it can even shatter when handled with hard impact.
Wood
You may find it strange that wood is mentioned in the list thinking it can easily real done and more susceptible to elements like sweat. Well, wood rings are not entirely made of wood although there are also 100% wood rings available. It’s just the inlay that is made of wood, and the inlay is also protected with other durable materials like titanium, tungsten, and other metals.
A wooden ring comes in various colors and patterns and as it ages, it creates a noticeable patina than metal. It’s not scratch-resistant but still very durable.
Meteorite/Antler/Bone
These materials seem a little gimmicky, it’s mostly reinforced by metal. It’s expensive though not always but they are just ordinary and don’t have much unique look. The wearer will know the kind of ring they are wearing but probably no one else will realize that. If you are looking for space and you want a meteorite on your finger, then you can give it a try.
Silicone
Silicone is a rubber-like material that has recently become popular as a choice for wedding rings, particularly as a backup ring for people who are adventuring, on a vacation, or in a situation where an expensive ring can easily get damaged or stolen. Still, some gents use silicone as their main wedding band. It may not seem nice or meaningful, but some men prefer a more laid-back, unostentatious approach to life, so they choose silicone rings.
Silicone ring designs are highly affordable; you can get a ring for less than $50. They are replaceable, comfortable to wear, and have recently become more stylish as the market grows. Some are fused with small metals to look more unique and are still sold for under $50.
