Designer Men’s Rings

Men’s diamond rings actually haven’t been around all that long. Up until about 120 years ago, men didn't even wear wedding bands. It was even unusual for a woman to wear a diamond wedding band until the fifties. Major diamond merchants such as DeBeers, in their attempts to create new markets, managed to sell the idea of matched women’s and mens wedding rings, but adding diamonds to those rings didn’t catch on until much later.
Until around 1950 or so, when government economic policies allowed the growth of an American middle class, men's and women's wedding bands were basically simple, unadorned gold or silver rings. It has only been in the last 30 years or so that men’s diamond rings have become popular.

Jewelry For The Male

Men have been wearing jewelry at least as long as women, of course, but usually for different reasons. Whereas women’s jewelry is meant to adorn and enhance the wearer’s beauty, men’s jewelry has traditionally been worn as a status symbol, badge of rank, or even in recognition of achievement.

When it comes to men’s wedding bands, there are several options available, but few consist of the plain gold band of yesteryear. Popular motifs include Celtic knot work patterns, Greek key designs, Arabic geometric patters and even abstract designs.

What is the difference between men’s diamond rings and a diamond wedding band? Not much; men’s wedding rings can fall into either category. Generally, a diamond wedding band does not have a large gem, prominently mounted, but does have small diamonds embedded in the surface.

Beyond Gold

All three varieties of gold (yellow, white and rose) are beautiful, but they are soft and not particularly durable. The surface can be easily scratched, and gold will tarnish over time. As a result, some prominent jewelers have begun to offer men's jewlery rings in new, harder and more exotic metals such as tungsten, platinum and palladium. These metals are extremely hard and resistant to tarnish, making them excellent heirlooms.

Today, one can find a mind-boggling variety of men's designer rings, either as solitaires or as part of a wedding set. The gems set into rings for men are generally square-cut rather than round cut, but again, the choice is up to the buyer.

Whatever the choice, men of style will find that virtually all jewelry designers are now producing more and more pieces of fine jewelry specifically for men.
