A Closer Look at Men’s Choice of Wedding Jewelry

The contemporary fashion arena appears to be inclining towards the sexless. Garments, footwear, wedding jewelry, and even hair styles to name a few, are now being used by men and women alike.

It is very obvious in 2015 that there exists a blending of tastes. This is rather a far cry from the earlier times when every item of clothing and accessory from head to toe, is neatly classified as "for him" or "for her" exclusively.

Wedding bands, as an example, were conventionally made out of gold and platinum. And now, this is challenged by the introduction of the silver wedding band out in the market. It only means that with today's growing range of options of metals and designs, gold and platinum being precious materials are confronting strict competition.

Men have become mindful and captivated by jewelry as a status symbol. Some treat articles of jewelry as their own special signature. And so, men are becoming picky like when choosing wedding bands of gold, platinum, stainless steel, two-toned gold, tungsten, and so on.

Maybe selecting stainless steel for wedding jewelry accessories is surprising for many, as it is more associated with utensils and construction materials. Yet stainless steel is slowly becoming the choice of young people because of its durability and luster, including the young at heart.

One other metal currently rising in demand is tungsten. Tungsten also has high durability, natural brilliancy, and attractive properties like being scratch-proof and non-allergenic.

Titanium is another rising star - this metal is chosen mainly because of its rustic and rugged manly appeal. When mixed with gold or diamonds, blackened titanium truly grabs attention making the wearer beam with pride. More than being corrosion-proof, titanium is very light.

Man's preference for a certain metal or metal combination depends on his financial capability or willingness to purchase. At times, it is a matter of being influenced by a doctor, a guru or an astrologer for the sake of his well-being.

Jewelry is expected to reflect the inner qualities and inclinations of the wearer. This is being revealed by men’s choices in wedding bands and other accessories.
