The selection of men’s ring for the groom comes with a great deal of choices in precious metals and designs. These choices include men’s gold rings, men’s titanium rings, and combinations of metals to form the men’s ring. The women’s bridal sets generally match or complement the men’s wedding rings.
Gold won't tarnish, rust, or corrode, and though it's very strong, it is also the most malleable of all metals. Pure gold is too soft to withstand the stresses of every-day wear, so it is alloyed with a mixture of metals like silver, copper, nickel, and zinc to give it strength and durability. Caratage/Karatage, noted by a number followed by "k" indicates purity, or how much of the metal in a piece of jewelry is gold. Karatage is expressed in 24ths, making 24k gold 100% gold. The color of gold is determined by two factors: The type of metal alloys included in it and the percentage of each metal alloy.
Men’s wedding rings may be found in any karat but they are usually alloyed with other metals to create a greater strength and durability of the men’s ring. Consideration as to the durability and strength of the precious metal is particularly important with regard to men’s rings. Some men find that the durability and anti-corrosive qualities in men’s titanium rings are better suited to their lifestyles. |  |
