Men's Diamond Wedding Bands
Diamond wedding bands for men do not have to be any less ornate than those for women. In fact, popular collections of mens diamond wedding bands feature a number of design choices, all of which allow the selection of a unique ring that reflects the importance of your wedding day as well as your individual style.
Precious metals used in men's diamond wedding bands
A number of precious metals are now used in the design of mens diamond wedding bands; gold, platinum and titanium being three of the more popular.
Yellow gold is most common, but other tones, such as white or rose gold, are also used to create visual interest. Because gold is a soft metal, it is often worked in combination with a harder metal to improve the ring’s durability and lifespan.
Platinum has become very popular for use in mens diamond wedding bands. It is a denser metal than gold. As a result, a diamond wedding band made from platinum will feel heavier on the hand. Since it is more durable, platinum can be used in pure form and does not need to be combined with other metals.
Titanium is the hardest metal used in diamond wedding bands. It is hypoallergenic, but difficult to resize because of the metal’s hardness.
Settings used in mens diamond wedding bands
Settings used in mens diamond wedding bands are typically the more secure; invisible, channel and box settings.
Considerations for buying mens diamond wedding bands
Budget – There are a number of styles available within any price range.
Lifestyle – Your lifestyle effects how durable a design you should seek. If you are active or work with your hands, designs with more securely set diamonds and durable, higher quality metal are the best choice.
Personal taste – Decisions on type of metal used, design elements, such as two- or three-tone metal work are a matter of personal preference. The ring should be a reflection of your unique style and taste
Fit – Comfort is critical. The band should rest comfortably on the finger, neither pinching nor moving during hand or arm movements. The shape and width of the diamond wedding band can effect its fit. Rounded edges can feel more comfortable than flat or blunt edges. In addition, remember the ring’s width should be in proportion to hand size and finger length to provide a good fit.
