Here are 3 trends reshaping the way men used to choose their wedding rings.

1. Choosing Unique Metal Bands

Gold has always been the most popular metal of choice for wedding bands for both men and women.

Rose gold is a precious metal that has long been associated with women’s jewellery. Things are changing fast, as men can also been seen wearing wedding rings made of this elegant metal. However, the new rose gold men’s rings have a unique masculine characteristic of their own. They usually feature a sunset-blush tone. These bands will usually have another precious metal along with elements of rose gold. White gold is the commonly used combination metal.

2. Diamond Wedding Rings

Once diamond wedding rings were considered to be unusual for men, but more and more style-conscious men now like to add more sparkle to their wedding jewellery. This trend has especially found its inspiration from the preference for diamond studded men’s watches.

The way diamond has found a place on mens wedding rings, it has shown a lot of difference in style from women’s rings. The most commonly worn styles are subtle. The diamond size is usually limited to a full carat and the ring is designed to be wearable and not beautiful. Stone safety is another important property. Channel-set and gypsy-set square or round diamonds are currently the popular styles. Besides, men can be seen wearing white, yellow, and champagne diamonds in their wedding rings.
