Holiday Shopping for a Men’s Wedding Band?
It may seem a little early to think about holiday shopping, especially if you’re expecting to buy a pricey item like fine jewelry. If you’ve been thinking about buying your guy a new men’s wedding band this year, then you may already be doing some research. But until you know what kind of ring you will be buying, it will be difficult to estimate the cost. Good news – the price of the average men’s wedding band has actually gone down over the past decade or so. It’s not that gold prices have gone down; just the opposite is true. But men’s wedding bands are now available in so many new and alternative metals that are much less expensive than gold.
If you are planning to buy a men’s wedding band for your upcoming wedding or to replace an old one, you may be surprised at how many options you have. Surprisingly, the changes that have impacted the men’s wedding ring industry have not really affected women’s wedding rings yet. That’s because most of the metals being used in men’s rings are more “industrial in nature”. This makes them more appealing for men and durable enough to stand up to active lifestyles.
Industrial metals also solve some common “objections” men have about wearing a wedding band. Men have often balked at the idea of wearing a wedding ring because they’re not used to wearing jewelry. But with lightweight titanium, wearing a ring is hardly noticeable. And with the density and strength of metals like tungsten, men won’t need to worry about their ring getting damaged from everyday wear.
Even guys who really want a platinum ring can find an industrial metal that looks very similar at a much lower price. Cobalt chrome is a rising star in the field of alternative metals and is stealing market share from platinum every day. Even stainless steel has gotten into the act of becoming a men’s jewelry metal, and it is quickly gaining traction among wedding ring buyers. So as you can see, this new field of “alternatives” has given some healthy competition to makers of gold and platinum wedding bands. With so many affordable options to choose from, buying a men’s wedding band can be an affordable holiday gift.
As a wedding ring retailer, I am often asked which rings are the “hottest” sellers. While it is all a matter of personal taste, some of our best selling rings at JustMensRings.com are solid black rings made of tungsten, titanium or stainless steel. Two-tone rings are another popular choice, especially those that are black and silver-toned. Traditional designs in men’s wedding bands are always popular too, but more men are choosing tungsten, titanium and cobalt over expensive precious metals.
It is easy to spend a lot of time shopping for men’s wedding bands, especially when you see the endless selection of rings available online, so it’s important to do some price comparisons. Once you find the men’s wedding band you want to buy for that special man in your life, do an apples-to-apples comparison and find out which retailer sells it for less. You may be surprised at the difference in price from one retailer to another. JustMensRings.com always encourages customers to do a price comparison because our prices are so competitive.

Born in the U.S.A. $6.98 Born in the U.S.A. is an album painted in big, broad strokes. But it was still too subtle for some–namely politicians who tried to tap the title track as a jingoistic anthem when it is in fact a bitter diatribe by a Vietnam War vet whose country forgot him. The rest of the album is a glorious grab bag of radio-ready populist anthems–his best display of pure pop songwriting ever–including “No Su… |
