Male wedding rings are sporting new modern designs

Two-tone male wedding rings have been long time favorites. Two-tone rings are a mixture of two different materials. Most traditional men choose the two-tone design made out of gold and white gold. Other more daring ones prefers black and white titanium. Here are some other combinations that are available in the market:

• Tungsten and gold
• White gold and yellow gold
• Titanium and gold
• Tungsten carbide and carbon fiber

Another design that’s becoming very popular these days is the tension wedding rings. This design generally has a precious stone that’s held in position on each side by the band. It is placed there using extreme pressure or tension. The effect is that the stone seemed suspended. This design is very ideal for bands with diamonds. Because the stone has an illusion of being suspended, the beauty of the stone is then given emphasis. However, due to the rigors of creating such rings, expect it to be a bit pricier.

The usual designs of male wedding rings are shiny and polished.  There are also some rings with a matte finish and different textures.

Trending materials

Still number one in popularity is of course the traditional simple gold band. Gold is the traditional material for male wedding rings. It is believed that by using precious materials, it will ensure the prosperity of the relationship. Some even place precious stones to make the rings more elegant and the design more intricate.

From the traditional simple gold band, wedding rings have evolved and now use different kinds of materials.

Growing popular these days are male wedding rings made out of carbon fiber. This is a very strong material made out of carbon atoms. It is ideally used in civil engineering, aerospace and motorsports. For some car enthusiasts, they modify their hoods with carbon fiber because the material is light and durable. Carbon fibers are usually grayish black in color. Carbon fiber wedding rings however, are not something that you can easily see on display in jewelry stores. They are usually customized or only seen in specialty stores. You can purchase one online too. Just make sure you give your exact ring measurement.

Another material that is gaining popularity today is the titanium. This is a material widely used in aerospace and marine related projects because of its unique characteristic. It has low density, strong, lustrous and corrosion resistant. It is a perfect choice for the outdoorsy type of groom. It will remain completely tarnish free (unlike silver) and it is ideal for those with sensitive skin.

The stainless steel is no longer a mere kitchen utensil material. It is a strong and heavy type of metal. The best thing about stainless steel is that it is corrosion resistant. It can be accented with diamonds and gold. It is perfect for men whose job involves the handling of heavy duty machineries.
