Men's Wedding Bands: A Simple Guide to Metals, Widths and Fit

For many men, a wedding band is the first ring they will ever wear. This guide covers the four decisions that matter, without the jargon.

1. Metal

Solid gold in yellow, white or rose is the classic choice, durable and easy to resize or refinish for decades. Platinum is denser, naturally white all the way through, and the most premium option. Sterling silver offers real precious metal at an accessible price. Solid gold and platinum bands are covered by our lifetime manufacturing warranty.

2. Width

Most men's bands sit between 4mm and 8mm. Slimmer hands generally suit 4 to 5mm; broader hands carry 6 to 8mm well. If you are unsure, 5 to 6mm is the safe middle that suits almost everyone.

3. Profile and comfort

The profile is the band's cross-section shape. A court or comfort fit is rounded on the inside so the ring slides on easily and does not dig in, and it is what we recommend for anyone wearing a ring all day. Flat profiles look more angular and modern. If you work with your hands, a slightly narrower, comfort-fit band in a harder metal will serve you best.

4. Plain or with stones

A plain polished or brushed band is timeless and takes knocks without worry. For something more distinctive, subtle inset stones add quiet brilliance. Browse our men's collection for both styles.

Getting the size right

Fingers change size through the day and with temperature, so measure in the evening when hands are warmest. Our Ring Size Guide covers three easy methods, and if you would rather not guess, choose "Select Later" where available and we will confirm your size personally before crafting. Questions?
