The choice of men’s wedding rings often comes as an afterthought to the whole process of choosing the ring for the bride-to-be. One they start looking for the ring, however, men suddenly realize there’s much more to think about than they anticipated. This is where this post can help – here are the most important considerations when you are shopping for your I-do ring. We will also present you Neil Lane men’s wedding rings and suggest what kind of groom will like his designs best.

Does your lifestyle impose any limitations?

If you play a lot of sports, you should take that into consideration. If you want to wear the ring while you play basketball, go rock-climbing or whatever it is you do, you should mention it to your jeweler. If you expect to be tough on your ring, you may want to avoid rings with gemstones.

Do you want something comfortable and sturdy?

If you want to wear your ring every day and you don’t want to put a lot of thought into how you handle your ring, a platinum beveled edge ring is your best bet. Platinum is an exceptionally durable metal which requires virtually no maintenance and is hypoallergenic. As it ages, it gets a beautiful antique appeal. It’s on the higher end of the price range because of its exquisite qualities and relative rarity. White gold looks quite similar to platinum, but is not as scratch-resistant and sturdy. It also has a certain percentage of nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in some. Yellow gold is the classic that will never go out of style, though it requires relatively frequent polishing (however, white gold also does). Rings that are most comfortable are those beveled and with a pleasant inside curve. Note that even flat bands can have a comfort inside curve, often called a “comfort fit.”

Do you want something a bit different, but not over the top?

Men’s wedding rings are much more varied than you’d think. If you don’t want the classic gold wedding ring, but you don’t want something flashy either, there’s a lot in between that you can choose from. Here are some ideas:

• A ring with a metal inlay
• A ring with a matte, satin or hammered finish
• A two-tone ring
• A rose gold ring
• An engraved ring

Do you want something bold? (Have you thought about Neil Lane men’s wedding rings?)

A rising number of men don’t want an understated wedding ring. Are you one of them? Here’s what springs to our mind:

• Combination of different-colored metals with a combination of finishes
• A matte or satin finish with a diamond
• A ring with an inlay of diamonds or colored stones, such as sapphires
• A ring with an inlay of black or brown diamonds
• A ring with a diamond edge
