Some of you will want to hunt down those little stores where you can pick up mens wedding rings that are created by the artist in quality silver. I can’t tell you where to find these places as they are too numerous and often hidden out of the way where only those in the know ever discover them. You will need to search your own local area, read the yellow pages, and ask friends if they have any secret stores where the find those special pieces of jewelry. These types of jewelers usually don’t have a website, and exist to service those customers who pass by their door.

These are the types of jewelry store where the vendor delights in seeing the eyes of the buyer light up when they appreciate the hard work that has gone into the creation. The prices for mens rings in such places are usually very reasonable, and you are going to get yourself something that you will never see anyone else wear, but many people just aren’t willing to put in the effort to find the design they want.

Their products are mainly made from titanium, white gold and stainless steel, which are all perfect for what most men are looking for.

Gold is probably the best choice for mens jewelry for those who are looking for their first piece. Rings made from gold are extra strong and very easy to care for. Like other gold jewelry pieces, a gold wedding ring symbolizes quality and tradition.

Special Wedding and Engagement Rings

Catherine wasn’t involved in choosing her wedding ring (except for requesting amethyst stones) and didn’t even see it until her wedding day.  A friend of Catherine’s husband, Kerry, is a jeweler and his gift to the couple was to make their wedding rings using Kerry’s grandfather’s gold fob chain that had been gifted to him. Catherine’s ring is inlaid with three amethyst stones (Kerry’s birthstones). Catherine says that when she saw the rings on her wedding day she was overwhelmed. ‘And, at the time, I didn’t even realize the huge history behind them,’ she says. ‘Kerry was very close to his granddad, and the rings are a link to him. The fact that he had the chain made into our wedding rings signified that he was going to be in our marriage for the long haul. It meant more than any store-bought ring could.’

There’s a story that’ll be worth sharing with the grandchildren. However you end up deciding on your wedding rings, you’ll hopefully have a personal story to share, too.

The perfect fit

Just as different gown styles suit different figures, different rings suit different hands. Here are some hints to help you find a ring that perfectly complements your fingers.

  • Remember that width adds width and length adds length.
  • Small hands and fingers look better with a proportionally sized ring.
  • Stones set vertically will make a hand seem longer, while an oversized ring will make it look shorter.
  • A diagonal design of a multi-stone ring pull the eye across the hand, giving it the illusion of greater width.
  • For a large-boned, wide hand, consider a medium-width band wit an interesting herringbone pattern or openwork design, or a ring with rounded edges. Larger stones also complement a larger hand.

Ring it up

If you want to surprise your partner with an engagement ring, but don’t know their ring size, you could:

  • Sneak one of your partner’s existing rings and take it to the jeweler, or draw around the ring onto a piece of paper.
  • Wait until they’re asleep and measure the circumference of their finger with a piece of thread. Just make sure they don’t wake up!
