Width

The first question to ask yourself when buying Cool Wedding Rings For Men is how wide you want your wedding ring to be.  Go to a mall jewelry store and try on a few men’s wedding bands in a variety of different widths to decide what fits you best. If you are on a budget, know that wider rings will be more expensive (since they require a larger quantity of precious metal), but you can balance size and price by choosing a metal that’s help you stay within your budget. For example, palladium looks very similar to platinum, but costs less.  Also, all white gold Men’s Wedding Rings are rhodium plated, so 10K is the best option as it is more durable than 14K and costs less.

Cool Wedding Rings For Men – Metal Choice

The metals traditionally available for Cool Wedding Rings For Men are platinum, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold and palladium. Here are some aspects of each:

White Gold

White gold is gold alloyed with white metals and plated in rhodium, a member of the platinum family, which gives it a brilliant white color similar to platinum’s but at a lower price point (note: the rhodium plating on white gold jewelry may need to be replaced after a decade or so).  It can be made in 10, 14, and 18K, but as stated earlier, there is no real reason for more than 10K when Buying Men’s Wedding Rings.

Palladium

Palladium is a member of the platinum family of metals and has a very similar look, but Palladium isn’t as dense and weighs less, consequently making it cost less than platinum.  It is very hard, durable, and hypo-allergenic, making it a good choice for active guys or people with metal allergies.

Palladium looks very similar to white gold and platinum.  The Batman wedding bands could pass for either of those metals.

Yellow Gold

Yellow gold gives off a subtle, warm glow and behind silver, is the oldest metal used in jewelry.  Like white gold, it can be cast in 10, 14, and 18K.  But unlike white gold, the different amount of gold give each purity a certain color.  10K has the lightest gold color, while 18k has the richest gold color.  If you decide on yellow gold when Buying a wedding band, try on each purity and decide the color you like best.

Diamond Wedding Ring

This yellow gold diamond wedding ring has a 4mm center stone flanked by 3 2.5mm stones on each side. This one was 8mm wide at the top, but tapers down to 3.5mm wide.  Those widths can be changed to your taste though

Rose Gold

Rose gold is a beautiful, less common choice and creates a unique vintage effect.   The warm tones of rose gold make it a perfect accent for men’s jewelry and the unique color gives a distinctive touch to men’s wedding rings. Rose, (or pink or red) gold also has a different looks at each of the purities.  Depending on the ratio of gold to copper, the color of rose gold jewelry can range from orange-yellow to dusky pink to red-orange.   The more red or pink you want in the metal, the higher karat you should choose.

Cool Wedding Rings For Men – Finish

The finish describes the texture of a finished ring. These are the terms to know Buying Men’s Wedding Rings.  The default is a high polish.

High Polish is the most common and tradition option and describes metal with a reflective finish.  The only downside to a high polish is that is shows scratches and wear more easily.
