Picking out the Man's Wedding Ring
Picking out the man's wedding ring can sometimes be
more difficult then picking out the woman's ring. Let's face it;
it is just not "manly" for a man to wear jewelry. So how in the
world are you supposed to pick out a man's wedding ring? Here
are some questions to ask yourself when choosing your man's
wedding ring.
1) What is the Price? Men do not like to spend
money on jewelry. Money can be spent on a tool set or a big
screen television perhaps, but not on a man's wedding ring. Most
men are not going to be impressed if you spent a lot of money on
a man's ring. They would much rather hear
that you got a killer deal on it. Definitely do not feel
obligated to spend a lot of money on your man's wedding ring.
Anything that does not turn his finger green will probably work
just fine.
2) What Size? How large does you man want his
wedding ring? The width of the wedding band is something you
should think about. Some men like just thin bands while others
like very thick wedding bands. This is something that you need
to consider when picking out your man's wedding ring.
3) What is His Style? What does your
husband-to-be like? Is he more of a traditional person or does
he like things that are new and unique. This is usually a good
indicator of what he wants in a wedding ring. Some men are
completely satisfied with the standard gold wedding band;
however, others like to find what is new in the market such as a
tungsten ring (with a tungsten ring, your husband can basically
put his finger through a meat grinder and their ring will
survive without a scratch). A man's wedding ring should reflect
his personality.
4) Is There a Way to make it Meaningful? It is
always nice to make the wedding ring meaningful. For example,
you can pick the style of his father's or your father's wedding.
Possibly there is a family heirloom that can be passed on to him
or maybe there is something that you can engrave onto his ring.
If possible, try to give significance to the man's wedding
ring.
5) Should it match my Wedding Band? In most
cases, the man's wedding ring matches the woman's wedding band,
but this is not always the case. If you are not sure what to
get, it is always safe to get matching wedding bands but make
sure to talk to him about it, he could possible have something
else in mind.
6) Does he want to be Part of the Process? This
is probably the most important question. Maybe he knows exactly
what he wants for his wedding ring and you are worrying about
picking one out for him for no reason. It is traditional for the
man and the woman to select their wedding bands together. While
he may be completely disinterested, let him have the chance to
be a part of the decision. This ring will be on his finger for
quite some time, so he should get a say in the matter.
Don't let picking out your man's wedding ring become too
difficult of a task. Just remember to pick something that fits
him and his personality and make sure to invite him to be a part
of the process. When picking out your man's wedding ring, it is
time to think about what he likes (since he is the one wearing
it) instead of what you want for him. Make him happy. The bottom
line here is to know your man.
