Men have worn rings to signify wealth, status and association for thousands of years. The tradition of male wedding bands only really became a common occurrence in the 20^thcentury, when soldiers were gifted a simple gold band by their wives before heading off to fight in the World Wars. Fast-forward some 70 years, and the male wedding ring is now more popular than ever before. Today’s grooms are looking for a wedding band that will reflect their own unique taste, personality, and sense of style.

Before you start shopping for a men’s wedding band, it is wise to set a budget. Prices range greatly, depending on the metal type and gemstones you choose, so a budget indicator will help you shop within your price range.

How much should you spend on a men’s wedding band? Well, that’s a good question. There are so many costs associated with a wedding, that you may be tempted to save on your wedding rings, but when you consider that your wedding band will last long after the ceremony is over, and that you are going to be wearing it every day for the rest of your life, it makes sense to invest in a wedding band that you truly love.

Now that you have set a budget, the next step in choosing a men’s wedding band is metal choice.  Gold and platinum are timeless options, but modern grooms are turning to modern metals such as tungsten and ceramic. These innovative metals allow jewellery makers to push the boundaries of modern jewellery design and create wedding bands as unique as the men who wear them. Diamond’s may be a girl’s best friend, but many modern gents love them too, and there are many styles available that feature diamonds.
