Masculine Styles Of Wedding Rings

Although some wedding rings are sold as matching sets, the vast majority of grooms will wear a ring that compliments but does not completely match the wedding band for the bride. There are many different styles of wedding rings for men that are stylish yet definitely masculine as well as a perfect match for the bridal set. 

One of the options for men’s wedding bands that are decisively masculine but also a great match for the woman’s wedding rings is to look for a simple and elegant design. A band that is plain works with any design of wedding rings, however adding scrolls, patterns or accents can also work very well.

Tungsten rings for men are very popular because the metal itself is virtually indestructible and simply will not scratch, tarnish or become damaged under almost any type of condition. These wedding rings are typically a silver color, however they are so reflective and flawless they almost appear to have a mirrored finish.

Not al tungsten wedding rings are silver however; there are ionization processes that allow tungsten to be permanently molecularly altered to become a dark, deep black color. This color of band is very popular for many couples and provides a striking looking wedding ring. 

Tungsten carbide, because of its unique metal properties, can also be combined with other metals to make inlay patterns. Often yellow gold is used for a very unique option in wedding rings; however silver can also be used. Since silver doesn’t reflect light the same as tungsten, a pattern or inlayed design is produced.

Designs and patterns are also common on men’s wedding rings and these can be traditional or very modern. Although not always, typically the patterns such as the Greek keys or a Celtic pattern will closely match the same pattern or design in the bridal set.

 

There are several different styles of finishes on wedding rings that can also be used to create a pattern. Polished rings are reflective, especially if made from tungsten, however even silver, platinum and gold are very bright and shiny. Brushed surfaces or brushed finishes are more of a matte surface, closer to a satin finish.

 

Finishes themselves can be used to create a subtle pattern. This happens because different finishes reflect light differently, creating a design. Gold and silver rings will eventually wear, reducing the visibility to the pattern over time, but tungsten rings will not.

 

Wedding rings that match are always going to be popular for couples, however with some bridal sets a man’s ring is not going to be offered. In these situations consider complementary styles of wedding rings that look masculine but still match the bride’s rings.
