Men's Wedding Rings Design: How we do it Differently

When it comes to wedding and ceremonial jewellery, men often get the short end of the stick. At McCaul's we always strive to offer interesting wedding bands for men, so if you are hunting for cool wedding bands for guys you're in the right place. 

While women have a plethora of options ranging from intricate designs to bold colourful gemstones, men's wedding rings tend to be plain and, frankly, a bit boring. Some call this classic but some call it uninspiring and want more unique options. But why is this the case, and how can we make men's wedding rings more unusual and exciting?

Traditionally, men's wedding rings have been simple bands made of gold or platinum. This lack of variety can be attributed to societal norms and gender stereotypes that dictate what is considered appropriate for men to wear. As a result, men's wedding rings have been overlooked in terms of design and creativity for years.

How we Make Men's Wedding Rings More Unique

1. Alternative Materials

Consider choosing alternative materials such as steel combined with gold in the form of our Damascus Steel Wedding Rings. No two are ever exactly the same so this is sure to add a unique touch to the ring.

2. Mixed Metals

Experiment with mixed metal designs to create a modern and unusual look. Combining different metals like platinum and gold can add depth and visual interest to the ring. Our selection of mixed metal wedding bands for men offer a range of options for any style. White and yellow gold mixed metal wedding bands, rose gold and platinum mixed metal wedding ring, we have both, and more!

3. Contemporary Shapes

Instead of sticking to the traditional band shape, explore rings with unique wedding ring shapes for men such as the twisted Mobius band ring, the sleek curves of the Aeolian and Aeolian II bands or the hand-carved texture of the Dune rings. Each one unique and out of the ordinary.

4. Unique Textures

Hammered bands for men are popular because each ring is completely unique and has a rough texture which will hide wear and tear over the years better than a polished finish. They make for the perfect unusual wedding ring for him.

5. Add Gemstones

While diamonds are often associated with women's wedding rings, there are plenty of masculine wedding bands featuring gemstones like grey or cognac diamonds or even a line of pave white diamonds, like the Diamond Aeolian II Wide Band Ring that can add a touch of luxury to men's wedding rings.

2. Bespoke

Opt for a unique custom-designed wedding ring that reflects your personal style and preferences. This could be a variation of a piece you've seen from us, or something completely different within our modern aesthetic. Find out about the bespoke process here.

By breaking away from the conventional norms and exploring new design possibilities, men can now have wedding rings that are as unique and special as they are. Remember, your wedding ring is a symbol of your love and commitment, so why settle for boring when you can have extraordinary?
