When it comes to choosing a wedding band, men usually want something that speaks about them, rather than wearing a band that is plain and simple and generic to all, and as such the wedding band becomes a symbol of their story and personality, and customizing the design of the wedding band lets you create a life that is just one in a kind.
Engraved Bands
One of the best ways to add a personal touch to your wedding ring is to get some engravings on it, and many couples opt for matching engravings that reflect some meaningful event or message, for example, couples choose a special date that they have shared in their relationship, or the coordinates of a place that has been significant to them. You can also choose to add initials or nicknames or even get a small inside joke or shoot phrase engraved inside as when you get the engraving inside, you can keep the message hidden and private, and like a secret between you and your spouse, making the experience very intimate and special. And for engravings on the outside, you can use symbols and patterns that represent artistic flair, and make your ring stand out.
Mixed-Material Inlay Designs
With inlays, you can be very creative as you have an endless number of possibilities. There are many materials that you can do for your inlays, such as wood like oak, walnut, and koa, meteorite, opal, turquoise, or carbon fiber, and since these materials are a bit different than the rest of the traditional metals that are used in wedding bands, such as tungsten, gold, and titanium, they create a very strong contrast that makes the ring stand out, while also blending in with your personality with craftsmanship, and with each inlay that you add, you are adding texture, color, and even more character, and creating something that is very uniquely yours.
Custom Textures and Finishes
The way that men’s wedding bands, or any other jewelry in general, have their finish can change a lot of things. The texture also matters and can make a ring stand out, and some of the popular textures include hammered, brushed, sandblasted, matte, and satin, and because everyone has a different style, they can customize the texture of the ring according to their style and make the ring look even more like theirs. You can also combine different finishes, for example, you can combine a matte center with polished edges and give your ring a very handcrafted look that perfectly complements your taste.
Personalized Stones
Diamonds are not limited to just engagement rings, and in fact, you can add a tiny diamond or any other gemstone to your band for a touch of sophistication. There are many ways in which you can select a stone that will suit you best. Amongst the many options, you can select your birthstone or your partner’s birthstone. You can also opt for a black diamond for a more modern and sleek look or have a colored gemstone to create a vibrant contrast. Choosing to place a stone, or even multiple stones, can bring a very strong level of customization and meaning that you could add to your wedding band.
Multi Metal Designs
All metals have their own classic properties, and you may feel like more than one metal suits you. As such, you do not need to feel limited, as the choices become endless when you have the option to combine two metals, for example, you can combine yellow and white gold together, or you could combine rose gold and titanium, and you can also combine metals like platinum and black zirconium or gold with tungsten or cobalt, and the options are endless, and you can get even more creative to come up with better ideas for combining metals. You may mix the metals for a custom two-tone ring or for a multi-metal band that gives you a design that can help suit your wardrobe, lifestyle, as well as your personal style, and create something that is eye-catching.
Conclusion
Everyone married has a wedding band, which means that there is a very high chance that your wedding band is very similar to someone else’s. That should not be the case, however, as your wedding band needs to be unique to you and to the relationship that you have with your partner, and customizing your wedding band lets you achieve that.
