Best Way to Buy Man's Wedding Rings

There is a huge amount of literature available about how to pick a woman’s engagement ring. Most of this is aimed at men because the ring will probably be one of the more expensive things he buys that doesn’t have wheels, play music, or is based on the latest digital technology. In other words, it is expected that he will not have a clue where his future bride’s tastes lie.

Woman, however, are expected to know what color socks he prefers and what he wants for supper tonight without asking (something about female intuition). In fact, many women have no idea as to what factors they should consider in choosing a man’s wedding ring.
Let us not forget that some men are opting to wear engagement rings as well, but the rules for that ring are similar to the wedding ring. The difference is the addition of a central diamond set level with the ring.

The first thing to consider is the color and style of his watch or other jewelry. Just as women tend to match their color of metal and style in their everyday jewelry, men demonstrate a sense of their taste in their basic jewelry. Does he hike yellow gold or white gold? Does he like plain items or stylish designer clothes and jewelry?

What is his lifestyle? A business executive would choose a very different ring from a man who works with his hands. Platinum would be a better choice for your handyman or construction worker, as it is more resistant to scratches and nicks.

How big are his hands? The width of his hand and the length and size of his fingers should be considered in the choice of band widths. Depending on the metal, a man’s wedding ring, especially a wide band, could be heavy. He may not find that comfortable.

For any man’s ring, check the comfort factor. A well designed ring, especially a high end model, will be built on a solid infrastructure and will minimize detailing that will affect the comfort level of the ring.

The answer to the question of diamonds on a wedding ring would be predictable for a woman, but not all men appreciate the flash and glitter. With the expanded variety of men’s wedding (and yes, engagement rings) available today, a man has the option of a solid metal wedding ring, or one set with diamonds. A well crafted high end designer men’s wedding ring can be as stylish and fashionable, or as plain and traditional as he wants.

Your job is to play detective and find out what exactly it is that he wants.

diamond engagement ring give her on Christmas

For those of you guys thinking to combine the holidays with a proposal, think twice before making the big day the same as Christmas. Why?

First of all, for those who celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, it is a very important birthday. Your thoughts and actions will probably involve rejoicing a monumental event, one that you need not be distracted from.

 On the more mundane side, Christmas is a time for family and friends… and of course for children. The holidays can be hectic. You will be sharing the day with piles of torn wrapping paper and a turkey roasting in the oven. Face it; you just can’t compete with the turkey.

Also guys…a two for one? Double up the engagement ring and the Christmas gift? Unless you are both exchanging engagement rings, on the commercial shopping scale you are one gift up on her.

New Years is the superior choice for a proposal for many reasons. First, it symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh year and an unwritten slate. Most people get married within the year of their engagement, so you are starting the year off with an important promise. Never mind the resolutions that won’t outlast the first month, you are making a commitment and saying this first day of this year is also the first day of the rest of our lives as a couple.

New Year’s is romantic, and can be a special and very personalized occasion to put that diamond engagement ring on her hand. Sparkles and New Years are a good match. And there is probably already a bottle of champagne handy.

Nothing enhances the little black New Years dress more than an engagement ring freshly placed on her finger. Maybe you could drop the engagement ring into her toasting glass as a special surprise. Just make sure she doesn’t swallow it!

 There may already be a convenient party underway where she can show off her new diamond ring! And she won’t have to share the moment with overhyped children, noisy gifts, exhausted adults, and a feast that will lull everyone to a state of lethargy.

New Years is the obviously THE choice of holiday on which to present that special diamond ring to the one you love. Of course, the engagement ring will have to be the right size and a design she likes, or you will be returning more than Aunt Anne’s hideous sweater in January.
