Men’s Wedding Bands

A wedding band is one of the most special pieces of jewellery a groom will wear in their lifetime. It serves as a daily reminder of the vows exchanged and the special bond shared with their partner. For many, a wedding band may also be their first piece of fine jewellery, so comfort, style and durability are essential considerations.

Men’s wedding bands often receive a bit less attention than their sparkling counterparts, but rest assured, they’re just as significant. It’s not just a symbol of commitment but also a reflection of personal style and what’s meaningful to them. With so many styles and designs available today, choosing the perfect wedding band can feel overwhelming but we’re here to make it easy and enjoyable–there’s loads of opportunity to express yourself.

 

History of men's wedding bands

What's the history behind men's wedding bands?

Interestingly, while wedding rings have been part of marriage traditions for thousands of years, men’s wedding bands only became common in the mid-20th century. Throughout their unfortunate and outdated history, rings were predominantly worn by women as a symbol of a man’s ownership over his wife. A tradition that’s thankfully been cast aside in favour of a more equal and loving meaning.

Metals

What metals can men's wedding rings be crafted in?

Gold is one of the most popular choices, available in yellow, white and rose hues. Yellow gold men’s wedding bands are truly timeless, offering a warm and traditional look. White gold men’s wedding bands look sleek and modern with a silvery-white appearance, perfect for a more contemporary aesthetic. Rose gold men’s wedding bands are a more unique choice, with a romantic blush pinky-orange hue that stands out without being flashy. Our gold bands are available in 18ct so as to preserve the premium allure of our bridal offering, ready to be worn and adored for a lifetime.

Platinum is valued for its rarity, strength, and naturally white appearance. It’s a little heavier and more durable than gold, making it an excellent choice for men who want a substantial, icy white, long-lasting wedding band that can suit a more active lifestyle. Platinum develops a patina over time, which is like a sheen from tiny scratches and daily wear–which some say makes platinum rings better with age. It’s also hypoallergenic, which is ideal for anyone with sensitive skin.

trends

What trends are we seeing in men's wedding bands?

Men’s wedding bands are evolving to reflect a mix of timelessness and contemporary style. This year’s trends emphasise individuality, comfort and more innovative materials and textured finishes, allowing grooms to express their personalities while honouring their commitment.

 

Textured & Patterned Designs

Textured and patterned wedding bands are gaining popularity, providing depth and eye-catching visuals. These designs often feature brushed, hammered, or matte finishes, which create a striking contrast against polished surfaces. 

Engravings, grooves, and inlays can be chosen as additional customisation options that highlight individuality. Men’s wedding bands featuring artistic designs or geometric patterns, cater to those seeking something more unique and expressive.

Metal Finishes

Mixed Metals

Mixed metal plain wedding bands for men are becoming increasingly popular, allowing grooms to combine different metals to make more of a statement. This trend provides various colour combinations, such as classic white gold with warm rose gold or platinum with yellow gold, that add complexity to any design. 

Mixed metal rings can feature whole sections of different level reliefs of alternating metals or subtle accents, making it easier to coordinate with other jewellery. This style reflects the union of two distinct personalities while celebrating the couple’s individuality offering the best of both worlds.

Minimalist Styles

Minimalist or plain wedding bands for men are appealing to grooms who prefer a clean, understated aesthetic. Focusing on quality craftsmanship, these bands emphasise sleek lines and smooth finishes, avoiding excessive embellishments.

Crafted from metals like gold, platinum, or titanium, these minimalist designs can easily complement other jewellery and fit seamlessly into any wardrobe. Personal touches, such as subtle engravings, can easily be incorporated into these designs especially ideal for those who don’t typically wear jewellery.

Personalised Touches

Customisation has become a significant trend, allowing grooms to express their individuality and make a personal stamp on their love story. It’s what we’re all about as a brand, and we believe in creating a ring that’s just as extraordinary as your relationship is. Many couples favour rings that reflect their little in-jokes and significant moments through engravings of initials, dates, or meaningful quotes. Custom wedding rings featuring designs unique to you, like special symbols or family heirlooms, all add sentiment and make each band truly one-of-a-kind. If you’re going to wear it for the rest of your life, it’s worth making sure it means a lot to you, and tells a story you’ll want to pass on.

What about sustainability and ethical choices?

Sustainability and ethical sourcing are huge topics, with consumers wanting to know the origins of the materials that go into the goods they’re buying–and we do too. Many couples are turning to more sustainably traceable options, such as rings made from recycled materials or source-origin certified gemstones. Lab grown diamonds have also gained popularity, offering the same beauty as natural diamonds with a reduced environmental impact with a perception of ethical practices. It’s a whole other topic for another time, but if you’re particularly interested in lab grown diamonds, read more here.

 

Men's engagement rings

How men's wedding rings are being used for proposals

While men’s wedding bands are traditionally exchanged during the wedding ceremony, their role in proposals is becoming more common. Some men in heteronormative relationships now receive their own engagement rings to symbolise their pre-marriage commitment. This 21st century trend of men’s engagement rings reflects changing social norms and allows both partners to share in their joyous engagement experience.

For those couples who choose mutual ring exchanges, the guy’s engagement ring is often simpler or more understated than the subsequent wedding band. In some cases, the engagement ring may become the wedding band, or the two rings get worn as a stack together after the ceremony.  This is still a pretty new thing in comparison to the women’s engagement ring market, so trends are still being established, but we anticipate a wave of self-expression to come

LGBTQ+ Wedding Rings

Symbolism of LGBTQ+ wedding rings

Men’s wedding bands hold deep significance in LGBTQ+ relationships, where the traditional binary roles of wedding customs are often redefined. Wedding bands become symbols of love, unity and equality, transcending outdated gender norms.

However grooms choose to express their commitment, there are wedding bands to suit all tastes and lifestyles. Whether they opt for a sleek, plain band or an embellished and intricate design, their ring finger can be decorated in any way they choose.
