Mens wedding bands

[Anonymous No.15932246]

Getting married this year, bros.
Fiancée asked me to pick out a wedding band I would like. I had never given this any thought before so I'm stumped.
What are some effay wedding bands for men? What color, thickness, material, etc. should I be looking into?

18k gold or white gold, those black, and other coloured bands look fucking awful. I would say gold though and now you can wear a gold watch with it

>>15932316
This, except avoid white gold since it's for pussies. ESPECIALLY avoid any kind of retarded bold dark band, they're meme rings and the only statement they make is "my marriage is going to fail". A plain gold band is all you need.

The platinum one is good.
I went with palladium for mine.

24K Gold. Even if the Jeweler tells you it's soft buy it, they say to you it's soft because they don't want you to buy it and would prefer you to by the 18k ring because they make more of a profit that way. 24K Ring is Pure Gold Pure Love.

24k being too soft for rings isn't a meme.
My wedding band is 14k and it's a scratched mess after 2 years of marriage. 24k is way too soft for a ring you will wear every day.

[Anonymous No.15932447]

>>15932246
14k yellow gold. 18k if you're richer and don't mind the scratches.
Yellow gold is classic and will never go out of style. White gold is boring because it can be mistaken for silver which is tacky and cheap or tungsten which is very tacky and cheap

[Anonymous No.15932489]

i like thinner rounded gold ones. keep it simple and classic imo.
a lower k gold like 14k might be prefferable since they get scratched. my dads is 18k and is pretty wrecked after 40 odd yrs.

Just from an aesthetics kind of view I’d go with 750 white gold

I have a friend working in jewelry manufacturing and he told me that platinum may be nice to and looks the same but needs to be cleaned more often cause of oxidation

Also gold rings are kinda tacky for white/blonde people
Does not really match as well as white gold and platinum/palladium

Thank fuck I'm not alone in this opinion. Any overt advertisment by a man that he is married is a subtle admission of weakness, and therefore the band itself should be correspondingly subtle. Black bands are like advertising you might enjoy a good pegging from your Mrs.
When I think of black bands, I think of a 102 IQ army veteran who wears polyester shirts to work.

Buy a bunch of cheap 1$ rings on amazon in different widths and shapes. See which one you can wear all day without noticing it. That's the wedding band you should get.

As for material, don't overthink it. Get gold. It's valuable, and you can pass it to your children. They can melt it into new rings or whatever. Get 14kt or 18kt gold at the most. You'll want to polish the gold once in a while.

I get that, like the recent push for “chocolate diamonds” (i.e. brown poop diamonds that would be unsellable if not for marketing)
I’ve just thought it bizarre that they’re pushing a gold alloy that doesn’t even have the visual properties of gold. The white gold they’re pushing sure as shit isn’t some 75/25 mix of gold and platinum, it’s a some blend of nickel and zinc.

Platinum 950 or 18k Gold, 14 is barely over 50% gold. Anything else is a waste of time, just choose between the two based on skin tone and what you prefer. 4mm or less. Anything else is a ring for fags.

[Anonymous No.15940717]

Yellow gold has and always will be the standard for men's wedding bands and has for decades, centuries.
White gold was a trend in the 80s when a bunch of boomers got them and they've been popular since, but it's always been yellow gold for anything classic, elegant and not trendy.
Black bands are a meme and are popular among poor millennials who can't afford gold and reddit beard and bootfag types. You see them a lot on poor types like military members and construction workers.
If you want a band that will never look dated and will be something you'll enjoy wearing at 30 as well as 80 then it's gold. Imagine wearing a black band at 45+ and thinking you don't look like a child

Not going to lie though, the actual Jens Hansen one ring is based as fuck, I’ve loved the actual curvature to it since I was a kid (the unegraved version because I’m not a fag)
I remember looking into it years ago and balking at the price, but knowing what I know now about gold and seeing the actual weight of the damn thing (it’s like 2x as thick as a regular band) the price is actually somewhat reasonable for the amount of gold used

>>15941352
You realise the price of platinum is currently 40% lower than gold, right? White gold is never purely white and requires replating if you want it to remain silver-coloured. An identical ring blank in platinum currently costs only 7% more in platinum than 18c white gold and its a wedding ring you cheap fuck. Platinum is also significantly harder and a much better material for a ring as it will scratch much less over time.

White gold
>here’s a material 7x more expensive than sterling silver yet looks virtually identical to sterling silver
Platinum
>here’s a material 10x more expensive than sterling silver yet looks virtually identical to sterling silver
For a wedding band for men it’s 18k yellow gold, 14k if you’re a poorfag, and if you’re looking at 10k you’re too broke to be getting married. That’s the final word and anyone that says otherwise is a faggot.

There is no reason to get 18k over 14k. The higher gold content makes it softer and more scratch prone.
Congrats, you have a ring that is imperceptibly more yellow than 14k which no one will notice except autistic jewelers, but now it's covered in twice as much scratches. But don't worry, you spent more on a piece of jewelry for a man so you won

First off, nothing about jewelry is worth anything. White gold is a nasty yellowy color underneath a white plating which wears off over time. Platinum is harder and is truly white. It's a better material.

Solid gold is a relatively soft metal. For jewelry it’s mixed with other metals to increase durability but depending on the metals used it can effect the color.
22/24k is the purest you can get in jewelry but it’s easily damaged
10k is so low in gold content that it barely looks like gold anymore and tarnishes easily
The vast majority of gold jewelry will be 14/18k. 18k is the ultimate middle ground in that its mostly gold and doesn’t tarnish but has just enough other metals to make it very durable, 14k is cheaper but also has enough other metals that the shade of yellow becomes more straw-like and less gold

Color is straightforward, buy a ring that matches your style. If you're more "trad" like some people in this thread apparently are, go for yellow cold. White gold/platinum better matches more contemporary styles, so that works too. Rose gold can be neat too as seen with >>15941529. Black sucks though, avoid that and any meme metals.
For thickness, get a noticeably thicker/wider ring than your wife has. Women wear thinner rings typically.
