Most of the tough work is over. Once you’ve picked the perfect engagement ring, the rest of the ride is downhill. Though, choosing a men’s wedding band can still be a difficult choice – will it be comfortable? Heavy? Will I lose it? I mean, it is the most important ring you’ll ever wear. Here’s 10 easy steps to make sure yours is both comfortable and attractive.
Men’s Weddings Bands: A Brief History
Women’s wedding rings have long been a symbol of eternal love. The Egyptians and the Greeks were thought to have chosen the ‘ring finger’ because they believed it contained a vein leading directly to the heart. This legend has influenced many communities throughout history to gift wedding rings. Fakat, it is only recently that men have begun wearing wedding bands. During WWII, men wore wedding rings to remind them of their wives back home. They were used as a symbol of commitment while overseas. During the next few decades, they became increasingly popular for civilians and are now a staple of modern matrimony.

How do men choose wedding bands? Tepe 10 Ways to Make Sure It’s Comfortable
1. COLOR
One of the easiest decisions to make is color. Do you prefer a more rugged, steely look? If so, beyaz altın, paladyum, or platinum are your best choices. White gold is the most popular metal for men as of the writing of this article. Couples may wish to consider platinum or palladium, Yine de, as they are a true “white” metals. White gold, on the other hand, is made from yellow gold, and so it has a more vanilla-white color.
Another, more traditional option, is a warm colored band. Yellow gold is the ultimate classic! And, men with warmer undertones may also like the unique overtone of rose gold! Rose gold has been increasing in popularity. It is made with a mix of pure gold and copper, which emits a rosy/champagne hue (check out our men’s rose gold guide for more info).
Not: “Alternative metals” like steel, titanium, and tungsten are on the rise. Fakat, couples should be aware that these are not precious metals. Daha da önemlisi, Yine de, is that they cannot be sized and require special tools to be cut off in case of emergency. As a result, Do Amore does not sell them.

2. DURABILITY
Do you have a job or hobby that could potential damage your ring? Spend a lot of time lifting heavy weights or working with tools? Then you might want a more durable ring. The most durable precious ring types are platinum and palladium.
3. WEIGHT
One factor many grooms do not consider until after purchase is the weight of their band. Some men prefer a heavier ring, as they like the solidity. Others want their ring to be as light as possible! If you want a heavy band, you may wish to consider platinum. This is because platinum is an incredibly dense metal – and it feels great on! If you prefer a lighter band, gold and palladium are your ticket.
4. WIDTH
The width of your wedding band will directly affect how comfortable it is on your finger. The modern look for men’s wedding bands is 6-8mm. A more traditional width (think your grandfather’s band) is around 4mm. Looking to rock the boat? I’ve seen upwards of 10mm for rock n’ rock types! Either way – the goal is to make sure the band feels comfortable. In order to do that, consider the length of your fingers. Men with long fingers will likely prefer an 8mm. Those with shorter fingers will feel more comfortable with a 6mm.

5. TEXTURE
Do you fidget? Do you like texture? This is your chance to have a beautiful, meaningful, and permanent sensory plaything! Those that enjoy texture should choose a wedding band with a hammered finish, a convex edge, or multiple layers. These textures will keep you loving your ring forever.
On the other hand, are you looking for a mens wedding band, but have sensory issues? Solutions include looking for a slightly domed band, a satin finish, and lightweight metals (think gold or palladium). This will keep sensory overload at a minimum and allow the band to feel more natural against your skin.

6. INSIDE
The inside of a men’s wedding band is an incredibly important factor in its comfort. This is because the inside is what pushes on your skin! As a result, you don’t want it to pinch or scrape against your skin. Here are :
Comfort-fit – where the inside of the band curves out slightly, creating a soft feel against your skin. This is the most comfortable option.
Flat – where the band is “pipe cut,” and is flat against your finger. If you choose this, make sure that you have the very edges rounded so it does not scrape your finger on its way on and off (speaking from experience).
