All About Men’s Wedding Rings

Here at Bespoke Diamonds, we know that the attention is usually on the ladies during an engagement. However, we’d advise you not to forget about the gent’s band! For many men, it may be the only piece of jewellery they’ll ever own and will be worn every day for the rest of your life. Considering how much use you’ll get out of this important purchase, it’s worth taking some time to think about all of the options available to you. There are several key elements involved in your choice of wedding ring:

Men’s Wedding Ring Styles

The single most important aspect about choosing a gents wedding band is finding a style that you’re comfortable with. You can go as plain or decorative as you like – it’s an entirely personal choice. Some men stick to a classic plain band, while others want a more adventurous style. Some choose diamond set rings or detailed metal work. We’ve found that current trends lean towards a mostly plain ring with slight variations. The most popular being a matte texturing or a subtle engraved indent.

Gents Wedding Ring Metal Choices

We have several metal types to choose from, each with their own aesthetic and physical characteristics. While 9k yellow gold rings have been the prevailing traditional choice for several generations, contemporary fashions have moved towards silver and rose coloured tones in recent years. Platinum rings offer an enduring, high quality finish and require little maintenance.

In our experience, Palladium has proven to be the best choice for most men. This is due to it ‘s lightweight feel, durability and excellent value for money. Palladium wedding rings represent 80% of gents rings sold for Bespoke Diamonds Dublin. If you simply can’t choose between these metals, why not go for a combination of two like a two-toned men’s band with a satin finish.

We don’t recommend 9k white gold rings for men as they get more worn looking quite quickly and need maintenance!

Men’s Wedding Band Profiles

The shape of a wedding band will add slight differences to the look and fit of the ring. We offer a choice between Traditional (curved on the outside and inside), Flat (no curve on either side) and Modern (flat on the outside but curved on the inside) shaped bands.

All of our men’s wedding rings are available to order in your preferred width, usually from 4-6mm. Would you like a slim, subtle band or a larger style with a more substantial look? Generally, we find that a very wide band can overwhelm someone of a smaller frame and vice versa so it’s best to balance your ring with your hand size.

Unique Men’s Wedding Rings

Adding a unique feature to a plain band is becoming extremely popular for men. For example, in the video below we made a ring using gold from the grandfather of the groom’s wedding ring. We take special care in creating rings like this, ensuring the best care for beloved and meaningful heirlooms.

Hidden Diamond Rings for Men

For one reason or another, many men don’t want to buy a diamond ring. However, a growing number of guys are exploring the idea and one such solution is a hidden diamond. After all, why shouldn’t you have a precious stone and a valuable piece of jewellery, as Bond would say, for your eyes only.

Located on the inside of the band and visible only when you take off the ring, a hidden diamond or other gemstone can also be a reminder or memorial of a parent, child or other meaningful person or moment in your life. You could even choose the gemstone associated with the birth month of this person.
