Black Rings
Today, many men choose customized designs to show their love and commitment while expressing their style. Traditional wedding ring designs sometimes receive a modern update with subtle details, such as textured edges or eye-catching finishes to simple bands. Engravings have also grown in popularity, displaying personalized messages or symbols on the interior or exterior of the band.
Many men look at their hands throughout the day, and a fun or bold ring can be as much a statement to themselves as to others. Rings are also made from more materials today than in the past, allowing them to be lighter, stronger, and less expensive. Men have the option of many colors, designs, and sizes.
While many masculine engagement rings and wedding rings are still made from precious metals, such as gold, silver, or platinum, there are dozens of material options to choose from. Modern grooms are gravitating toward alternative metals, such as tungsten carbide, carbon fiber, stainless steel, or titanium. Each material has its own qualities and levels of resistance to wear and tear. Remember to perform thorough research before making your final decision. As a rule of thumb, precious metals tend to be more malleable and can be easier for jewelers to resize or customize.
The availability of more materials means that men’s rings have a lot more design choices because jewelers can combine these materials in so many ways. Men’s fashion rings are also available in many colors, ranging from polished silver to shining black. Today’s fine-tuned technology allows jewelers to make a range of finishes and detailed designs on a variety of materials.
