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.
