Viewing the top five metals used for wedding bands will give you an idea to pinpoint which metal will go well with you.

Gold Wedding Bands

The most common metal used to design wedding bands is gold due to the value of the material and the vivid yellow colour. The metal is dense soft and the purest out there. When designing a wedding band using pure gold, they present a bright colour and very appealing shine. Other great features of gold that make it so trendy is the fact that gold does not rust and will retain its value.

Platinum Wedding bands

Over the years the popularity of wedding bands made from platinum has surged due to several reasons. Platinum is valuable, sophisticated and durable. The colour of platinum is silver-white and when pure platinum is used it has a goldish colour.

Titanium Wedding Bands

For those men who are in search of a durable material that offers a presentable look, but is still affordable, then a titanium wedding band is the answer. Wedding bands that are made out of this material are strong and will last even if it is worn every day. The major benefit of having a titanium wedding band is that it is durable and relatively low to maintain looking good. All you need to do to give it a good clean is to wipe the ring with a cloth.

Tungsten Wedding Bands

Another material that is great for designing men's’ wedding bands is tungsten. This metal is strong and durable and will not scratch or bend, making them perfect for men who do strenuous hard labour with their hands.

Tungsten is approximately 4x harder than titanium and 10x harder than eighteen carats of gold. The only downside to tungsten is the weight. Other than the weight a ring designed with this material is durable and will last a lifetime.

Stainless Steel Wedding Bands

Wedding bands designed with stainless steel are not as popular in the UK as other metals since folks do not know the benefits of using this metal. When you are wearing a stainless steel wedding band you don’t have to bother about stains or smudges on the metal ( this is a big concern with silver and gold) and you don’t have to handle it carefully since it is strong and durable. Lastly, with a stainless steel ring, maintenance is non-existent, which makes it appealing to several men.

Nowadays, countless online websites sell and display designer wedding bands. As you look around on the internet, you can indulge in numerous selections. It may take some time deciding on the perfect match for you, however, with a little bit of support from your partner and the assistance of a reputable jeweller you will find the perfect ring that befits your identity.
