The Ultimate Buying Guide for Men's Rings

Styles and designs for men’s rings are as different and unique as the man who wears the ring. Whether you’re on the hunt for a wedding band or a promise ring, the choice for the perfect men’s ring is dependent on his style and personal taste and your budget.  From simple bands to intricate diamond solitaire statement rings, our collection of men’s rings has the ideal band for every budget and personality.

The definition of his perfect ring might vary based on the type of ring he wants and the occasion that the ring celebrates or symbolizes. There are many factors to consider before you finalize your purchase and slip that ring on his finger. If you’re on the hunt for men’s rings, here is everything you need to discover and uncover his perfect ring.


Wedding Bands

A wedding band is a forever symbol of his vows to you. This is the ring that he will wear forever, and it is a ring that requires the most thought. Men need a ring that will remain timeless and adapt to their daily lifestyle. However, the ‘timeless’ definition varies for every future groom. Some want a very basic gold band, but others want a ring that’s a little more fun. His wedding band doesn’t necessarily need to be a surprise, so you can—and should—talk to him about which style of a ring he wants.

Budget

Remember, this ring is forever. The wedding band is an investment piece, and the price tag can reflect that. If he is extremely active, he’ll need a ring that won’t get bent, scratched or warped. So for the guys who play hard, an investment in heavy duty but expensive platinum may be the best and most durable option. Set your wedding ring budget based on an amount that you can reasonably afford. Look at your monthly income to debt ratio and use this to decide your payment range. However, if you have savings or money set aside, it’s always a good idea to pay for the ring in full.
 

Style

Have fun with his wedding band. We will say it again: he will wear this ring every day for the life of your marriage. Choose a ring that reflects his ideal style. And don’t be afraid to get creative with designs and details. Inlays are a cost-efficient and elegant way to add texture, color, and interest to his ring, coming in all different materials and hues. Choose from prehistoric dinosaur bone, mother of pearl, wood (of various types), opal (red or blue), creative carbon fiber, or even out-of-this-world meteorite. If he wants something simple, then a basic band might be ideal. However, you don’t have to settle for classic gold. Men’s rings are offered in many metals, including platinum, Damascus steel, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, black ceramic, tungsten, cobalt, titanium, zirconium, and palladium. Each of these metals has unique properties and varying budget ranges.

Promise Rings

While Promise rings can be bold or simplistic, his promise ring should remain understated. While a promise ring might denote future marriage, the ring could also simply symbolize a new level of commitment or even another separate and unique relationship promise. When choosing a promise ring, keep the details simple and the style refined. You’re looking for a band with few diamonds or gemstones and sleek details.

Budget

Keep the price tag on his promise ring on the lower end. You shouldn’t spend more than a few hundred dollars on a promise ring. Choose a design that you can afford outright. If that limits your budget to $100, then that’s your bottom line. No matter what your budget, though, you will find a band for him!
 

Style

Men’s rings that serve as promise rings should be simple. If his style is more cutting-edge, then you can choose a band that incorporates his stylish leanings. Laser engraved details can be used for personalizing his ring with symbols that reflect his lifestyle—like guitars, cityscapes, wooded forests or even sports themes (like baseball stitching). While you can add diamond or gemstone details, don’t make the stones the center of the ring. Select your birthstone and his or just add a single small diamond.
 

Create Your Own

If you can’t find his perfect ring in any of the Brilliance collections, then create something that is truly unique! Our designers can work with you to bring his dream ring to life—whatever that ring might be! Set your budget, schedule a design consultation and watch your own inspiration take shape. There are no boundaries or limitations for custom designs because his ring is guided by you and him. Men’s rings incorporate many styles and designs depending on what the ring represents. However, all men’s rings should embrace his style, lifestyle, and personality. Whatever ring you select, be sure that it’s a design he’ll love and never want to take off!

Will Blockchain Be a Boon to the Jewelry Industry?

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o...

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel. Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.   Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.  Brooke Gregson adds a whole new dimension to ena...

From ultra-glam to sophisticated simplicity: How to choose just the right jewelry for a sexy, strapless dress. You’ve found the perfect dress: a gorgeous, strapless number that complements your figure and makes you feel more than a bit glamorous. You even have the shoes. But, like many (all) of us who don’t have a personal stylist to add that je ne sais quoi touch to make an outfit really spectacular, you may be wavering on what jewelry to wear. Don’t fret. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces. Be dramatic A strapless dress is all about drama. A good rule of thumb is to select jewelry that doesn’t compete with that drama; rather, it enhances it. Choosing one statement piece as a focal point — like a jeweled necklace, elaborate chandelier earrings or a bold bracelet — is a nearly fail-safe way to go. With necklaces, you’ll want to consider what looks good with your dress’s neckline...
