Men's Custom Designed Gold
Wedding Rings

Gold wedding rings are not only chosen by women but also men who like jewelry. Whether plain or embellished with gemstones and diamonds, men’s gold rings are preferred for wedding jewelry. They make great gifts gaining popularity among men everywhere.

Men’s 14k gold wedding rings may consist entirely of solid gold, platinum, or two tone consisting of white and yellow gold. Men love gold wedding rings with diamonds but a variety of other stones like ruby, sapphire, emerald, zircon, and topaz etc. can be substituted for a diamond.

Designs With Much or Little Detail
Usually, men’s wedding rings are larger and less ornately designed than women’s wedding rings. Some men though do like rings with their initials engraved on them. You can also shop for a ring that has raised lettering or have one custom designed. These always appeal to his masculine instincts even if he's the type that doesn't wear jewelry.

There are other choices such as hand carvings and patterns such as leaves or woven braids that intertwine giving the illusion of roads and paths. If he prefers little decoration, select milgrain edging or tiny beads for borders as decoration.

Selecting a Man's Wedding Ring May Take Time
Durability and comfort are just as important to consider besides the ring’s look. The life of a man’s wedding ring depends on the quality of the ring and care exercised while worn. Gold rings should always be removed while performing any sort of physical labor. Also, rings should not be worn during swimming or other sports that may cause the ring to fall off or wear out.


Some men prefer white gold over yellow gold. The purity of gold is measured in karats, the purest gold being 24 karats (100% gold).

The gold used in making jewelry should normally be 14 or 18 karats as these two units render the gold pliable enough, yet not too soft, for designing and fabricating jewelry.

And, always enlist the aid of a local professional jeweler (if you buy off the web) so that repairs, cleaning and maintenance can be routinely adhered to. After all, you do want your wedding rings to last the duration of your marriage.
