When it comes to men's wedding bands there are a number of issues to consider. While the wearing of jewelry by women is so common as to go unremarked that is not necessarily the case for men. For many men, wearing a wedding band is considered the same as any other case in which they're being asked to wear jewellery. Men sometimes do not feel all that comfortable wearing jewellery and in many cases have never done so before.
Whilst most men see their wedding band as completely different to wearing ordinary jewellery, others feel just the same as if they were being asked to wear ear rings. "It's just not done by men". The author, for example, wears a man wedding band, but would never consider wearing any other form of jewellery.
And as many men have never worn any form of jewellery before they have no idea what it will feel like to have something permanently on the finger. Is it heavy? Does it rub? Silly as it may seem to women this can be of concern to some men. (If this genuinely is of concern it is quite possible to find a cheap jewellery shop, buy the cheapest ring available and wear it for a while. See exactly what it feels like. And find out your size at the same time.)
When considering the styles of men's wedding rings it is well worth thinking about the personality of the individual. While different men have very different personalities different rings will suit different personalities as well. A loud outgoing man, for example, can wear a more unique men's ring.
There are many different ring materials which also reflect the personality of the individual. Titanium or Platinum are both becoming much more popular. Whilst diamonds are not, of course, as popular with men as with women, they do make a clear statement which pleases some men who choose them. Diamond rings for any gender clearly say "I can afford it" or at least the big ones do. But it can be a brave man who chooses to wear a large diamond design or something even more elaborate.
