Have you ever noticed that when the word ‘wedding’ is brought up, the first images that tend to come to a person’s mind are all related to the bride rather than the groom? From the dress to the rings to the bouquet and everything to do with the bridesmaids, the planning of wedding days has always been more focused on the women.

Of course, this isn’t fair. It takes two to tango and it also takes two to get married! There might not be as many individual elements to consider for a future groom in terms of attire and accessories, but one area that deserves it and is gaining prominence is men’s wedding rings.

With an increasing number of men in conventional marriages choosing to wear a wedding band and an increasing number of same-sex marriages, men’s wedding rings are more popular than ever.

For many men, a gold wedding band may prove to be the only piece of jewelry that they are ever going to wear regularly so it’s important to make the right choice.

Do you choose a gold wedding ring to match that of your spouse or a sterling silver ring because that is your preferred precious metal? If you want a hypoallergenic metal, choose platinum or palladium. Maybe you want to make a thoroughly modern choice and have a black tungsten or tungsten carbide ring? Should it be plain or patterned, with inlay or a beveled edge or maybe you fancy a diamond wedding band? Do you want a regular or comfortable fit?

There are so many choices and as you’re going to wear it 365 24/7, indulge in spending some time browsing and deciding. Here are ten examples of unique wedding bands for men to give you some ideas of what could be slipped on your finger on your big day.
