WELL GROOMED
EXPRESSING AN INDIVIDUAL SENSE OF STYLE
M en who are comfortable wearing jewelry every day approach the idea of shopping for a wedding band with more of a sense of what they want than men of previous generations did. Even men who don’t normally wear jewelry view it as an opportunity to play up their personal style. The wedding band may be the first piece of precious metal jewelry a man will wear, and too many options can overwhelm, so a simple rule is to match the personality to the metal. Gold and platinum bands are classic and remain the metals of choice for most grooms, but what makes these bands modern is a thinner width with a textured surface such as carving, etching, or hammering. Gone are the days when a groom’s wedding ring was just a plain band of yellow gold or a chunkier version of his bride’s ring. Today, more and more grooms want a wedding band that expresses their personal style and, as a result, men’s wedding band styles have evolved to some very creative, stylish options.
