Wedding rings are a symbol of union. A union between a man and
a woman.
This tradition of publicising the union between the man and a
woman is a tradition that goes way back to the ancient Egyptians.
Then the use of a ring was slightly different then than now. A
ring consisted of something that was more commonly available to
the Egyptians. Rushes from along the banks of the Nile.
Rushes were used to symbolise the union between male and female
by braiding a small piece around the finger. This created a
never ending circle that symbolised eternity. A never ending
circle of love.
However although this tradition goes back thousands of years the
wearing of men’s wedding bands is much newer. It was really only
after the second world war that men decided that the wearing of
a mens wedding band was an appropriate way to celebrate their
new commitment to their bride.
Now that the wearing of a mens wedding band is fashionable men
are turning their thoughts to which type of ring to buy. And as
it is rare that a man will wear an engagement ring, (although
not unheard of), their wedding ring is often the only piece of
jewelry that they will wear. So they need to give it some
thought.
So in many cases men want something unique. Something that
no-one else has. A mens wedding band that stands out and makes a
statement about just who they are. Something very different.
So what alternatives are there for the man who just wants to be
different?
Gold, Silver or Diamonds are usually first associated with
wedding rings. However for the modern man there are many more
choices.
Mens Platinum wedding bands and mens Titanium wedding bands are
newer but no less stunning. Both are much more recent for the
crafting of rings but both make for magnificent rings.
Platinum is exceptionally strong and durable. However it’s
appeal is its unique patina or sheen which it develops over
time. And it can be crafted into a fascinating range of unusual
mens wedding bands. The options are endless.
Similarly Titanium is exceptionally strong and also very light,
a third of the weight of gold. This is a bonus for anyone
worried about whether a ring on the finger may feel heavy.
Titanium rings are fashioned out of a single block of Titanium
and so need to be made to the exact size. The range of Titanium
mens rings is, like Platinum, extensive, and there are rings to
suit any taste.
However for the man looking for something really unique there
are many other options. The internet has opened up a whole new
world for the man looking for unique mens wedding bands.
There are now online jewellers who allow you to design your own
ring.
For example it is possible to design your own Titanium mens
wedding band using a whole variety of Titanium colors. You
choose your own ring shape, size and color or mix of colors and
add any one of a variety of gemstones to it as you wish. These
can be placed exactly as you desire to create a really unique
men’s wedding band unlike anything anyone else has anywhere in
the world.
For the really adventurous there’s more. Why not carbon fibre?
How about stainless steel, or two tone bands? Or celtic mens
wedding bands?
And why not get REALLY adventurous if you wish. For those who
want something right out of the ordinary there are many options.
Zodiac mens wedding rings are stunning. Available in all the
zodiac signs a zodiac ring will turn the head. Large and very
visible a zodiac ring is not for the faint hearted but for the
man who wants to be noticed it is a ring that must be
considered. And two tone zodiac rings are even better!
Not suitable for a wedding ring? Who says! For the man who wants
to be unique it doesn’t matter. If he, and she, both like it
then it works for them. That’s all that matters.
How about mens gambling rings? For the gamblers amongst us there
are rings featuring all manner of gambling symbols. How about a
gold and diamond roulette ring? It really does have a tiny
roulette wheel, with numbers.
Or a gold and diamond spinning dice ring that really does have 2
tiny dice? Or a gold spinning black jack ring.
Even unusual gemstones can be made into the most unique mens
wedding bands. Two tone rings with Tanzanite anyone? Gold with
Blue Topaz? Gold, Diamond and Garnet?
So although the wearing of mens wedding bands is relatively new,
it doesn’t have to be boring. These types of rings are not for
everyone, but for the man who wants a really unique mens wedding
band there are lots of choices.
It’s just a case of how unique do you want to be!!!
