There is no doubt that the feeling is mutual both ways. But despite of that, the process of buying a wedding ring has often been seen as something that is more revolved around women. And more often than not, in all the rush, buying men wedding band the right manner is a step overlooked. Unfair we indeed we find it to be, and that’s exactly why we have you covered with the ultimate men’s wedding band buying guide for 2023.

The digital world has a lot to offer for that matter, and experts at Rosec Jewels have come up with everything you should (and shouldn’t) look for when buying men wedding band online in this guide.

Since the big day is fast approaching, let’s not waste any more time and help you find that one-of-a-kind band:

Who Picks Out the Wedding Bands?

This is hands down, the most debatable part. Exactly who gets the honors of picking the wedding band that would forever define your love?

Well, as per the treasured traditions, the bride (sometimes along with her family) purchases the groom’s ring. No, don’t get that wrong. In a broader context, it simply means that both the partners usually pay for their other half’s wedding ring. Probably because, the sentimental value the band holds, and the memories it commemorates, is two folds when your loved one picks it for you.

But yes, like most traditions, it isn’t something that you’re compelled to do.The entire point is to have a happy wedding, so nothing should feel like a burden. See what falls in your comfort zone, and mutually agree on something that works for your relationship.

Unlike the engagement rings , since the surprise element is not so much there, there is an increasing trend of buying wedding bands as a couple. Who doesn’t like to take the final stamp of their significant other when it comes to buying something so precious, after all?

Finding Men Band Style

It’s not uncommon to assume that while picking out a band style for him, you’d be limited to very specific options. But beep, that’s a mistake you don’t want to make.

The point of shopping online is that the digital world leaves no stone unturned in facilitating you with a plethora of options in band styles. You just have to figure the one that speaks to his individual style the most, the one that fits his personality like nothing else, or something that holds a unique meaning to your relationship.

Finding the ideal band style is also somewhat a test for you, and mind you a fun one since all the answers lie in observation. So yes, this day onward, notice everything about him, if you don’t already (guilty as charged).

Does he like to slip into classics every time he dresses up? Or is he more into all things nice and fancy? Or interestingly, is there a celebrity style icon that he frequently talks about? Take time out to know his preferences better since it’d also reflect the efforts you’ve put into finding the ideal band for him. He’d practically live in this ring, so make sure it also works well with his lifestyle.

Pro tip: Since it is a ring that your beloved is going to wear for a lifetime, chase timelessness in the band style. The kind of timelessness that would be treasured forever, just as much.

Let’s introduce you to the most popular styles for men’s matrimonial rings to make the process easier:

  • Classic: Does he like to chase simple things in life? To no surprise, he’ll be hooked to a classic band then. The thing about Classic Wedding Bands is that they can never really go out of fashion. They exude timelessness with a plain all-metal design that may or may not have any texture.

  • Curved: Curved bands add some more character to the classic ones, without looking too loud. They feature curved edges that give room to comfort.

  • Diamond: Because why not sparkle it up a little (the occasion certainly calls for diamonds). Depending on his style, you could pick a solitaire diamond band or a band that is wrapped with diamonds all over.

  • Gemstone: Since a pop of color can never go unnoticed, this band is made for the modern grooms. So, why not make it personal by picking his very own birthstone band that reflects his personality, or choose a unique gemstone that speaks to your relationship?

  • Eternity: Paraded by diamonds/gemstones all over, eternity bands or rings reflect a union that is eternal with its endless circle. That’s probably what makes it such a sought-after choice to commemorate the big day.

Making Men Band Unique

When it comes to sentimental occasions like weddings, don’t you just consider the ideal band to be the one that is uniquely precious to your relationship? Isn’t finding the one that tells the unique tale of your love story for a lifetime, ‘the dream’? What if we tell you that’s attainable? Let’s discuss how:

  • Engraving: The tried, trusted and treasured way of adding more meaning to your token of togetherness! Try imbibing a special date (maybe of when you started dating), an endearing message that mirrors your love, or to make it even more unique, engrave both your fingerprints in it.

  • Couple bands: This is the official day of your love winning over everything, why not do a little PDA through matching bands? There has long been a tradition among grooms of turning to a band that matches the bride’s wedding band. It not only reflects the pride you take in tying the knot of togetherness, but also insinuates that you have similar tastes.

  • Wedding Set: Better together: yes we’re talking of engagement rings and wedding bands. If you’re someone who is fond of the aesthetics that come with wearing both (like why not?), we say go for a wedding set with a matching band and engagement ring. They not only compliment each other, but also insinuate how close both the occasions are to your heart.

  • Detailing: Save your creative instincts for this part! You could always inlay a gemstone that is more personal to you, or get it engraved with sleeks to add more texture, or just any design that you find identical with his sense of style. He’d love that you’ve put so much thought in making it special.

Choosing The Metal For Men Wedding Band

When it comes to an occasion as precious as a wedding, we wouldn’t want you to trade aesthetics and durability for anything. And that is why, without a shred of doubt, we’d recommend you to go for gold since it brings both of them along.

Call it traditional, or call it luxurious-gold has always been a go-to choice to commemorate special occasions like wedding and engagements. It not only graces the big day with its timeless appeal but also secures the band for a lifetime with its durability. The best part? It offers you a spectrum of tones to choose from:

  • White Gold: Falling on a slightly lower price point, White gold is a neutral color that works wonders to brighten up the overall look of your band. It looks close to platinum but with the heritage of Gold and plating of rhodium.

  • Yellow Gold: The traditional choice for all wedding bands! Its warm glow and rich appearance works like a charm that not only compliments diamonds/gemstones, but also exudes timelessness that can steal the show alone in case he wants a plain band. Yellow gold rings hold the reputation of never losing their color.

  • Rose Gold: If you wish to skip the classic, rose gold is your gateway to it. Made for modern grooms, it amazes with its ability of lending a vintage appeal to your band. Though uncommon, rose gold has a unique hue that is a result of copper alloying, which helps it retain its color.

How is Gold better than Silver?

  • Gold doesn’t tarnish as easily as silver, which makes it long-lasting

  • It holds the gemstones/diamonds more securely, since it is more malleable than Silver

  • Gold offers more luster.

  • Since silver can oxidize and tarnish easily, it requires more care, which is not the case with Gold.

Setting The Width Of Men Wedding Band

As soon as you heard the term, width, didn’t you think of it as something technical that you’d find a hard time understanding? No, it isn’t. In fact, the right width is again a matter of aesthetics. Let’s discuss:

The foremost thing that you don’t want to go wrong with in order to get the ring width right is his finger size. Does he have small and petite fingers? If yes, a band width between 3-6 mm would work like a charm. Or are his fingers considerably big? Then, don’t settle for less and go for a size between 6-9 mm. The ideal width goes a long way in dictating the look of the band. Small bands may look a little out of place on bigger hands and vice versa. And on the big day, you wouldn’t want to settle for anything short of perfect, isn’t it?

But wait, you don’t want to leave this point behind: CONSIDER HIS SENSE OF STYLE. Though a wide band is sometimes considered more masculine, if he likes to chase minimalist looks, your best bet is a slim band. From the day you tie the knot, he wouldn’t want to put off the band, so make sure it is indeed a comfort fit that matches his preferences.

Note: The most sought after range of ring width among men has always been between 5 to 6 mm.

Getting Ring Size Of Your Men

We know ever since you’ve decided to pick a band for him yourself, your biggest fear has been: “What if it doesn’t fit? “ Though there are rings that are up for resizing, you would want the band to slip into his fingers on the big day itself. We get that big time!

The good new here is: Since a wedding band is not as big of a surprise once you’re hitched, you have more opportunities to knowing his ring size. It’s out there that you’re purchasing a band, so you can just ask him directly. If he’s unsure, you can measure it with the classic string and ruler method, wherein you can wrap the string around his finger and mark the spot where it joins. Measure it with a ruler afterwards.

But remember accuracy is the key here! And that’s exactly why Rosec Jewels avails free ring sizer on request. From the comfort of your mobile screens, you can place any ring on the sizer, and move the slider until it fits nicely. So whether it’s about knowing your ring size or his, getting hands on the perfect fit is as hassle free as it could get!

Plan Your Budget for Men Wedding Band

“How much should I spend on a men’s wedding band?” Well, answering that can be quite a puzzle, only if you let it be. We understand that it’s officially the time for you to start wedding preparations in full swing, and deciding on the budget has been giving you a hard time. But relax, there is no fixed formula you have to follow for budgeting.

In fact, wedding bands fall on a much cheaper price point than engagement rings, thanks to the comparatively less intricate designs. If you wish to know an exact number, studies suggest that on an average, men’s matrimonial rings fall somewhere around $600 on the price point. But again, it’s all a matter of choice since factors such as the ring style you prefer, the metal finish you go for, and whether or not you decide to embed gemstones/diamonds in your ring, would largely dominate the price of your band.

Always remember that the wedding band is much more than the price tag. It’s an emblem of your ‘happily ever after,’ and making it a financial burden would just kill the whole point. So, communicate and mutually decide on the budget that falls in your comfort zone and you would always be happy with your purchase.
