Let me tell you what the perfect Men's Wedding Band is.
Most people would probably choose a Plain Gold Band.
And most people would be half right.
So is the best band a plain one?
Yes and No!
Let me Explain
For decades men have settled for the plain gold band. Generally the width of that plain band is either 5 or 6 mm.
When you get smaller than that in width, then it starts to look feminine. 5-6 is standard and looks balanced on a man's hand. 5-6 mm also feels comfortable wearing and unless you've got some big basketball player's sized hands, then I'd stick with that width.
Any wider than that and you may have difficulty bending your finger! It's all a matter of taste. You might want to try some different millimeters on just to make sure. I've seen some Men buy rings that were 10 mm wide. You just never know.
Plain Gold Bands
Plain Gold Bands have been the staple of Men's Jewelry. The one ring that most men will wear and usually because they have too.
Sorry Ladies, but it's true. If Men really had a choice, they'd probably choose none!
And since they do have to choose one, most will pick the plainest most simple band there is.
Plain Bands are CHEAP!
And Women love it too because usually it's one of the cheapest bands there is!
So they pick the plain gold band, but as we know, Gold Bands take a lot of wear and tear. With in Months, that plain band will have dents, scratches, dings, nicks and possibly chunks taken out of it. The good thing is, with a plain gold band, it's very easy to have any Jeweler polish up the ring to make it look new again.
But it's NOT the BEST Band...
So why isn't the plain gold band still the best bet for a wedding ring?
Well, it's not that it isn't, it still is, but it's the style of plain gold bands that have changed.
And it's changed for the good!
Plain bands used to be thin. Men really got ripped in that department. Over the long haul, those rings would bend, dent and end up looking like Oval rings verses Round rings.
Bottom line is:
Men Abuse their Rings!
They aren't gentle with their Jewelry in the least like the Ladies are. And if the guy is a mechanic or they physically work with their hands, that ring's a goner!
So the thing that's changed in the last ten years or so, is...
