While women generally have more choice with regards to rings, you may be surprised to discover that there are additionally a large variety for men's engagement and wedding band designs. Men tend to prefer rugged and masculine designs: a simple band, channel set, or pave ring. While men's engagement rings are less frequent than women's, they are growing in popularity. They're similar in appearance to engagement rings, however they usually contain a single precious stone. We look at the common designs and materials in greater detail below.
1. Choose Your Width
Men's rings could be between 3 to eight millimetres, though many people appear to prefer a ring between Five to six millimetres in width.
2. Choose Your Metal
Gold
Nearly pure gold (22 carat), 18 carat, and 14 carat gold remain popular and traditional selections for men's wedding rings. 14 carat gold, even though it contains only 58 percent gold, is usually used since, having a higher alloy content, it is stronger than purer gold. The higher the gold content, the deeper the color of the gold ring.
White gold or platinum
White gold is definitely an alloy of gold and something or two white metals (usually nickel, manganese, and palladium), and engrossed in rhodium plating to enhance its whiteness. White gold or platinum looks much like platinum but it's more affordable. Other variations on gold include rose, red, pink, green, and black gold, each combined with different alloys for colour.

Silver
Silver is less commonly used for engagement or engagement rings because it is prone to oxidisation, requiring regular cleaning. As a result, silver is usually suitable for casual jewellery rather than long-term everyday wear. Silver is more affordable than gold and platinum.
Tungsten
Tungsten, a grey-white metal, can also be known as wolfram or tungsten carbide. Unalloyed, it's used in industrial application. Tungsten continues to be growing in popularity as a material for men's jewellery largely due to its extreme durability. Tungsten comes with a natural polish as well as no ongoing maintenance, but can't be resized or resoldered.
Titanium
Titanium is among the hardest and most scratch resistant metals available, and for that reason, it's a popular option for men's rings. Despite its strength, titanium isn't heavy like platinum. Titanium is cheaper than platinum but a little more expensive than gold.

Palladium
Like tungsten, palladium keeps growing in popularity. A precious metal, it's naturally white and doesn't need ongoing repolishing. While it is much like platinum in appearance, palladium usually sells for a fraction of the price.
Platinum
Platinum is among the most widely used materials for wedding and wedding rings. It is more costly than gold as well as compares favourably in terms of strength, though other metals such as titanium are even stronger. Platinum doesn't fade and does not need maintenance.
