Christian rings for Men Who Want to “Walk the Walk”
Not that long ago, men looking for Christian rings were limited to a conservative selection of cross rings made out of gold or sterling silver; but today, a much broader and more diverse assortment of Christian rings is available. Despite their popularity as fashion rings and alternative wedding bands, there is no Biblical requirement that devout Christian men wear Christian rings. Rather, men of faith choose to wear these rings as a public expression of their faith in Jesus Christ.
While the selection of Christian rings may be better than ever, most are still quite conservative in design. After all, wearing a lot of flashy jewelry might make one appear vain or greedy, neither of which are Christian-like values.
According to Roy Devine, owner of JustMensRings.com, the bestsellers among Christian rings are not what one might expect. For example, one of his more popular rings is a two-toned “puzzle ring”, which features a gold cross against a brushed silver background. Another popular style is the “spinner ring”, which can feature traditional crosses, doves, or the “Jesus fish” symbol. Of course, the type of Christian ring a man chooses depends a lot on how it will be worn.
Christian rings can be worn as Wedding Rings
More often than not, men’s Christian rings are worn as wedding bands and matched up with a similar ring for the bride to be. The gift of a wedding band during a marriage ceremony is believed to have started in approximately 850 AD, but it was rare to see a man wearing a wedding ring until after World War II. Up until recently, men’s wedding rings were limited to a few basic styles in yellow and white gold, but men today can choose from a much larger selection of rings. Today’s Christian wedding rings for men come in a variety of metals and designs, including a black titanium cross ring and a stainless steel triple cross ring, to name a few.
Christian rings can be worn as Fashion Rings
In the world of men’s rings, there is a fine line between alternative wedding bands and fashion rings, with many designs being interchangeable. Some of the more casual styles of Christian rings are “spinner rings”, also known as “worry rings”, which feature a stationary inner band and a movable or “spinning” outer band. The outer band usually has a design on it, and in the case of Christian rings it is a cross, a dove, or the “Jesus fish” symbol.
The Jesus Fish symbol may seem like a recent invention, but it actually predates the cross. Followers of Christ used this symbol to recognize one another during Roman persecution, and it is based on the fisherman who became disciples of Jesus. In addition to being a symbol of Christianity, the fish symbol also reminds believers of Christ’s unconditional love.
Whether one chooses to wear a cross, fish, dove, or other symbol of their Christian faith, the underlying theme of <a href=”http://www.justmensrings.com/mensringcollections.asp?mensring=christian”>Christian rings</a> is to remind the wearer to do more than just “talk the talk”. Wearing a Christian ring can serve as an ever-present reminder for men to “walk the walk” in their thoughts and actions.
