Men’s Wedding Band
The Men’s Wedding Band comes in four basic styles: Traditional Wedding Band, Mens Gold Wedding Band, Mens White Gold Wedding Band and the Mens Titanium Wedding Band.
Here you can learn about the differences and browse through the wedding bands while reading honest reviews.
Types of Gold Jewelry
10K, 14 K, 18K, 24K, Platinum Gold
- 10K – This has the least gold and will be the strongest. Ideal for those doing manual labor (Although Titanium is better)
- 14K Gold – This has more gold and is a little less firm. Since it has a tendency to “shape” to the finger, it is ideal for men in office jobs.
- 18K Gold – Frankly, I am not sure why anyone gets 18k gold. It looks very similar to 14k gold and acts much the same way. If you want to up the quality of the gold, then go for platinum. Otherwise, stick to 10K or 14K gold.
- 24K Gold – Is the closest thing to gold you can get. However, due to its softness, it is not good for jewelry at all. Be wary anyone seeking to sell 24k Gold jewelry
- Platinum Gold – This is the highest type of gold you can get for jewelry that will keep its shape. It is also among the most expensive but, to me it is worth the price.
Width and Ring Size:
Picking the Width Size
- 2mm - is the smallest and is very tiny around.
- 4mm – is twice the width and is a more common size
- 5mm & 6mm – these are the most common widths and compliment the man’s hand nicely

- Most common men’s ring size – Size 10 is your average men’s wedding band size

Color of Wedding Band
Men’s Yellow Gold Wedding Bands
- Yellow gold is the more traditional color for wedding bands.
- However, trends are shifting from the yellow gold to the white gold.
Men’s White Gold Wedding Bands
- White gold has always been popular among men. It has the qualities of gold with the look of silver.
- It gives a clean and masculine look.
Men’s Titanium Wedding Bands
- Lightweight and practically indestructible makes the mens titanium wedding band perfect for every man.
- It has the sleek look of white gold but is closer to silver.
- However, unlike silver Titanium will never tarnish making it the easiest wedding band for anyone to care for.
- The sheen of titanium rivals platinum but at a much more affordable price.
Men’s Silver Wedding Bands
- Silver scratches easier but can be polished at a local jeweler
- Silver is not ideal for wedding bands because of its tendency to tarnish, but for those with metal allergies it works great.
