Choosing a Wedding Band for Him

Precious Metals: Classic & Timeless

For those who love a traditional look, gold and platinum remain the most popular choices:

• 14K & 18K Gold
  Available in white, yellow, and rose gold, these bands offer a classic look with timeless appeal. 18K gold has a richer color, while 14K gold is slightly more durable due to its alloy mix.
• Platinum
  Known for its strength and durability, platinum is an excellent choice for grooms who want a heavier, long-lasting metal. Though it comes at a higher price point than gold, its natural white color won’t fade over time.

Gold and platinum bands can also be customized with various finishes, engravings, or gemstone accents to make them uniquely yours. (Side Note: For extra customization, some grooms choose a brand like Lashbrook, which specializes in customizable wedding bands with endless combinations of materials, finishes, and inside sleeve options.)

Performance Metals: Modern & Durable

If you’re looking for something beyond traditional gold, performance metals offer an innovative and stylish alternative. These metals are exceptionally durable, scratch-resistant, and often more affordable than gold or platinum. Popular options include:

• Cobalt Chrome
  Lightweight, durable, and naturally white in color, this metal is similar to platinum.
• Tungsten Carbide
  Highly scratch-resistant with a sleek, modern appearance.
• Titanium
  Extremely lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.
• Zirconium & Tantalum
  Darker metals that create a bold, contemporary look.
• Meteorite & Custom Inlays
  Some performance metal rings feature inlays made of unique materials like meteorite, hardwood, carbon fiber, or even camo.

Comfort & Fit: Finding the Right Feel

Since your wedding band is a piece of jewelry you’ll wear every day, comfort and fit matter just as much as style. Our experienced jewelers can guide you through these choices to ensure your band feels just right. But here are a few tips to start you on the right track when choosing a band:

• Width
  Bands typically range from 4mm to 8mm. A wider band makes a bolder statement, while a narrower band feels more subtle.
• Fit
  Many men’s wedding bands come in comfort-fit designs, which have a slightly rounded interior for an easier, more natural feel.
• Weight & Profile
  Some grooms prefer the solid weight of platinum or tungsten, while others opt for the ultra-light feel of titanium. A low-profile band sits closer to the finger, while a higher-profile band offers a more prominent look.
