Getting a man to put a ring on it can be hard, but even more so to put a ring on his own finger. Some men have a natural aversion to jewelry that isn't some sort of piercing but one thing is certain and never changes - when they truly love you, they will wear anything you want them to, even for as long as a lifetime. However, that doesn't mean putting up with something that they don't like or feel uncomfortable wearing. Choosing wedding rings for men is similar to when women choose their wedding rings - they want their personality to show and they sure as heck want to be comfortable while doing it.
First off, wedding rings for men are available in a lot more styles and materials that go with anything in their closet. There may be some embellished with a row of diamonds or two, but that is mostly based on the personal preferences of the wearer. A wedding ring can be the most important piece of jewelry a man wears and as such, it needs to be well, perfect.
The first thing you need to know is what type of metal appeals to your man best. Men's wedding rings can be crafted from the traditional silver and gold, as well as platinum, sterling silver, stainless steel and tungsten, which offer a very masculine look in addition to being very durable. If you are on a budget, you may want to consider rings in sterling silver and stainless steel which are usually the most affordable options but if you want to go up the ante a bit, you can go for gold, platinum and tungsten. If your man happens to have sensitive skin, platinum, titanium, stainless steel and tungsten are popular hypoallergenic options.
The fit is also an important option as far as choosing the best wedding rings for your man is concerned. You can choose from three types: the comfort fit, the half-round fit and the pipe band. If your man is the type who isn't used to wearing any kind of jewelry, the comfort fit is your best bet since it is designed to provide the most minimal contact between the ring and his skin. The half-round wedding band on the other hand, with its traditional curved exterior, is for the man who wants a traditional wedding band while a pipe band offers a more contemporary look with its straight edges and flat top.
When fitting your man for his ring, make sure that it is at least 5mm to 7mm wide, as anything thinner than these sizes indicated can look too delicate on his finger. It may be a good idea to have him try on the rings to see which one he will feel comfortable wearing every day, especially if he is not used to wearing any kind of jewelry. Better have him try something on and like it rather than choose something for him that he's likely to take off more often than
Many men will choose the plainest, lightest wedding band if given the chance but if you are bent on having a matched wedding set, you can probably convince him to put even just a single row of diamonds or even just a small diamond for just a hint of sparkle. The important thing is not to push your preferences on him as this is also something he needs to do for himself just as much as he is doing it for you. Make sure the choices you make are something both of you are comfortable and happy with as this is something you will have to live with for the rest of your lives.
