How To Choose A Perfect Mens Wedding Ring

A wedding ring is the most important ring you will ever have and hopefully for a lifetime

, so you definitely want to take some time and do some researching before picking one out. Before beginning shopping for your ring you will want to be sure to do an honest evaluation of you and your fianc's budget and be sure to stick within that price range. After the budget part is determined perhaps the next most important thing to consider is your lifestyle.

For instance, will you be able to wear your wedding ring while performing whatever it is you do for work? Do you work around machinery that could potentially get caught on your ring and if so, you may want to consider looking for rings that are able to be cut off from your finger in the worst case scenario of an emergency. If you intend on wearing your ring at all times even during times at work or away from it where it can be subjected to rough treatment, be sure the ring you choose can stand up to harsh conditions.

One pitfall to be sure to avoid while out shopping for your wedding ring is to avoid the "deal of the week" or any type of special such as that. If that particular ring was popular and desirable, it indeed would have sold by now and the company would not have had any need to place it on a clearance type rack. Although it may be very tempting to save money, steer clear of any of these types of deals. Again this is the most important ring you will own, thus the price should not be the only or main deciding feature in choosing your wedding ring.

Another factor in finding your perfect wedding ring is to decide which metal you want to own. Metals for men's wedding rings come in gold, platinum, silver, titanium and tungsten. Gold has become a very popular choice for many men but that does not mean that it has to be for you. You surely want a ring that reflects your personality no matter what metal that might be or which design it will have.

The different carats normally used in men's gold wedding rings come in 9, 14 and 18 carats. The higher the proportion of gold which is used in the final metal, the more expensive and valuable it will be. Although it might seem that an 18 carat ring would be much harder than a 9 carat ring, there is only a five point difference in the Vickers scale which rates the harder metals with a higher score. 9, 14 and 18 carat are actually all very good, hard, durable gold metals and all good choices.

If you are thinking of perhaps having some diamond inlays in your ring which adds a nice touch, be careful since it is very easy to find sellers of rings that are untruthful regarding the diamond's quality (or perhaps may even try to pass off cubic zirconium as the real deal!) Shop only at highly reputable jewelry dealers, do careful research, stay within your budget and enjoy finding and wearing the wedding band of your dreams.
