Choosing a wedding ring or band is a very exciting experience, as there are so many things to choose from, and with new types of trends like textured finishes, designs, and materials, it can turn a simple band into something with a lot of personal style, so if you are exploring options for a wedding band, here are some of the trends that you must know.
Matte and Textured Finishes
A huge trend in men’s wedding bands nowadays is the rise of matte and brushed textures. Glassy and polished bands are no longer in fashion, with a lot of grooms opting for texture, even in diamond rings. For example, vitamer brushed wedding rings, and engraved finishing also add a lot of texture to the wedding rings in contrast to shiny ones and give the rings a lot of personality and depth. Also, such textures very smartly hide everyday scratches that can easily be seen in polished bands, and create a very sophisticated look, and do not even require a lot of maintenance.
Mixed Metals and Two-Tone Designs
A very common trend these days is to opt for two metals and combine them. For example, some men get white and yellow gold combined, while others may mix metals like titanium and rose gold or tungsten and black zirconium. Double metals are a good way to make your ring look unique, and, they match even more outfits, allowing grooms like you to wear it easily. In terms of fit, most grooms opt for comfort fit, in which there is an interior that fits the finger comfortably, making the ring a perfect everyday accessory. Also, minimalistic rings are still in fashion, with bands that are sleek and understated gaining traction, and bands that have clean lines and minimal embellishments.
Durable Alternative Materials
Nowadays, grooms do not stick to the mainstream gold or platinum metals, but also experiment with other metals such as tungsten, titanium, black zirconium, and carbon fiber, as each metal has its own special characteristics, which make the rings long-lasting and durable, and can also make the rings comfortable to wear so that men can easily wear them all the time, even if their life requires a lot of activity.
Wider and Bolder Band Profiles
Thicker bands are also very much in fashion since the wider the band, the more presence it holds, and the more that it stands out. Also, with a wider band, you can do even more experimenting and customize the band according to your choice, so, you can have even more detailed textures, patterns, or inlays on your wedding band, and a lot of men like their wedding bands to be statement pieces, but do not want them to be flashy, and wider bands are perfect for that, as they allow for more versatility without standing out too much.
Unique Inlays
Everyone loves a little bit of customization, and the exact same case is with wedding bands. It makes you look exclusive and solely yours. A good jeweler can help you find your style and execute it on your wedding band.
And there are many ways in which you can get your wedding band customized to your taste. For example, you can get a texture and pattern of your choice and choose the engraving of the ring. You can also choose the type of finish that you would like and add any geometric cuts or gemstones.
You can also make your ring look even more personal by adding in unique inlays like wood, antler, and opal. A lot of couples also love to have hidden items in their rings, like engravings, coordinates, initials, or any important dates that the couple shares.
