This tradition of publicising union between man and a woman is a tradition that goes way back to ancient Egyptians.

Then use of a ring was slightly different then than now. A ring consisted of something that was more commonly available to Egyptians. Rushes from along banks of Nile.

Rushes were used to symbolise union between male and female by braiding a small piece around finger. This created a never ending circle that symbolised eternity. A never ending circle of love.

However although this tradition goes back thousands of years wearing of men’s wedding bands is much newer. It was really only after second world war that men decided that wearing of a mens wedding band was an appropriate way to celebrate their new commitment to their bride.

Now that wearing of a mens wedding band is fashionable men are turning their thoughts to which type of ring to buy. And as it is rare that a man will wear an engagement ring, (although not unheard of), their wedding ring is often only piece of jewelry that they will wear. So they need to give it some thought.

So in many cases men want something unique. Something that no-one else has. A mens wedding band that stands out and makes a statement about just who they are. Something very different.

So what alternatives are there for man who just wants to be different?

Gold, Silver or Diamonds are usually first associated with wedding rings. However for modern man there are many more choices.

Mens Platinum wedding bands and mens Titanium wedding bands are newer but no less stunning. Both are much more recent for crafting of rings but both make for magnificent rings.

Platinum is exceptionally strong and durable. However it’s appeal is its unique patina or sheen which it develops over time. And it can be crafted into a fascinating range of unusual mens wedding bands. The options are endless.

Similarly Titanium is exceptionally strong and also very light, a third of weight of gold. This is a bonus for anyone worried about whether a ring on finger may feel heavy.
