Men's wedding rings: width, profile and finish

Many men have never worn a ring before their wedding ring. Comfort therefore decides as much as looks, and it comes down to details that a photograph shows poorly.

Width changes everything on the finger. A slim band goes unnoticed; a wide band has more presence and feels tighter, so it is often taken slightly larger, as our article on measuring your ring size explains. Look at the inside too: curved, it slides over the knuckle better than a flat inside, which matters on a hand with pronounced joints.

If you work with your hands, prefer a plain band or stones set into the thickness of the metal, which do not stick out. Polished or brushed, it will scratch with time and a polish will make it look new again. The guide to choosing your wedding rings compares widths and profiles, and nothing obliges you to match yours to the women's wedding rings.

White gold owes its bright whiteness to a layer of rhodium that wears and is redone, faster on a ring worn every day. Our article on 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold compares the three.

Yes, like every wedding ring: no precious metal escapes it. The marks end up blending into a patina, and a jeweller can repolish the band. Take it off for weight training and DIY, where bars and tools crush it.
