What Are the Different Types of Men’s Wedding Band Styles?

With so many different men's wedding ring styles to choose from, deciding on the perfect one can be overwhelming. We’re here to break down your options so you can proceed with confidence. 

Selecting a wedding band is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you’re going to wear it every day—that’s a big deal! All too often, guys aren’t given a lot of choices. They’re usually stuck with a handful of boring designs. Our mission is to change that. Finally—you can choose from a wide variety of unique wedding band designs that showcase your one-of-a-kind personality.

Here are the most crucial factors to keep in mind as you explore men’s wedding band styles.

1. Materials

Most of the time, guys are forced to choose from yellow, white, or rose gold. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with the classics, it’s nice to have other options on the table, too. Here at Madera Bands, we proudly offer exotic materials you won’t find anywhere else. 

From genuine meteorite rings to sleek carbon fiber men’s wedding bands, our materials are so much more exciting compared to the usual offerings. Our tungsten men’s rings offer unparalleled durability—perfect for guys who work with their hands. We also offer wedding bands made from whiskey barrel wood, guitar strings, deer antlers, and more.

2. Width

Men’s wedding band styles are wider than women’s wedding bands because men’s hands are typically larger. We’ve found that 8mm is the ideal width for men’s wedding bands, as most guys find them comfortable and visually appealing. That said, gentlemen with smaller hands can absolutely wear women’s rings. The design is typically the same, and the only difference is the size—our women’s rings are half as wide (4mm).

3. Fit

Pay close attention to the details as you browse men's wedding ring styles. Looks aren’t everything! This is an everyday accessory, so comfort should be a top priority. 

Examine the shape of the ring closely as you compare men’s wedding band styles. Are there sharp edges that would cause discomfort while you perform your usual activities? Does the inside of the ring have a texture that would aggravate your skin?

Our men’s rings are so comfortable you can easily forget you’re wearing a ring at all! Our signature curved comfort-fit interior slides on and off smoothly and stays secure—not too tight or loose, but just right. 

4. Finish

You have other options besides the usual smooth and shiny finish! Matte, hammered, and textured finishes can give your look a little something special instead of the cookie-cutter men’s wedding band styles out there. 

5. Detailing

Finally, consider the extra details that can make your ring really pop. Additional inlays such as opals, abalone shells, sapphires, or other precious stones can give your wedding band a big boost in personality. 

Of course, some guys prefer understated, minimalist designs. We recommend choosing men's wedding ring styles that fit your usual look. If you don’t typically wear flashy jewelry, your wedding ring isn’t the place to start!
