Which Type of Ring Metal Should You Choose?

Rings for men are one of the most popular fashion accessories. One beautiful thing about them is their rich variety, which appeals to the diversity of our tastes, preferences, and budgets. Some ring metals are perfect for a particular purpose or clothing; others are ideal because of their aesthetic appeal and durability. 

Whatever the case may be, ring metals come in varieties, and we'll be looking at some of them and which one you should choose. 

Gold 

Gold rings remain the most popular and common ring metal despite the plethora of options. Since it's a classic, it's mostly used as wedding or engagement bands. Gold rings, on their own, also boast of their options. There are gold stainless steel rings, rose gold rings, yellow gold, and even white gold rings. Rings such as the Rose Gold Stainless Steel Polished 4mm Band will make a great pick. 

Why Choose It?

The durability and price of gold rings depend on the quality (karats). We recommend this ring metal if you want a flamboyant or showy piece on your finger. 

Titanium 

Titanium is one of the strongest metals out there. Imagine how durable and strong a ring fashioned out of titanium will be. However, the main appeal of titanium rings for men is that despite their great tensile properties, it's very light in weight. Titanium was exclusive to industrial applications till it gradually found its way into jewelry manufacturing. 

Why Choose It?

These rings are resistant to cracks and 

scratches and can last a lifetime. However, they're almost impossible to resize. So we recommend going for this ring metal only if you're certain of your ring size. 

Sterling Silver

Silver rings are much of a classic as gold rings are. At a point in history, silver was more valuable than gold. This metal, in its pure form, is too soft to make a ring. This is why jewelry manufacturers combine it with other metals like copper to create sterling silver. It has a wide variety, and pieces like the Silver Stainless Steel Polish Finish Black CZ Band Ring and the Silver Stainless Steel Ring with Three Inlaid Cables attest to that. 

Why Choose It?

These rings are loved for their simple and subtle elegance as well as their versatility. Silver rings are a fashion hack because you can wear them with any outfit.

Tungsten

This is hands down the most durable metal in the world. Tungsten is also four times stronger than titanium, which is just downright incredible. It shares certain similarities with titanium - easy to maintain but difficult to resize. The variety of Tungsten rings can be appreciated in the Tungsten Carbide Silver Checkered Design Ring. 

Why Choose It?

Tungsten rings are scratch-resistant and very affordable. With proper care, it will look as good as new, even after several years of wear. 

Platinum

Platinum ranks up there with gold in the category of deluxe metals. It's an incredibly rare metal, making platinum rings one of the most expensive on the market. 

Why Choose It??

Platinum rings are incredibly durable and retain their color even after several years of use.
