Grooms: your band doesn’t have to be boring! When it comes to wedding rings, you may assume your only option is a simple gold band. While we love a classic look, there are tons of ways to make your band one of a kind! Here are 5 types of men’s wedding ring styles that are trending in 2024.
1. Include Personal Details
Your band can (and should) be a reflection of your love in more ways than one. Include personal details that tell your story, like this mountain range ring. The design of this range is the silhouette of where the couple got engaged – a super romantic story with a really cool look!
Or, for a more intimate touch, you can also include engravings on the inside of your band, like a personalized message or a special date.
2. Choose A Unique Finish
A smooth band isn’t your only choice. If you want a classic band style with a touch of personality, choose a unique finish for your wedding ring!
A hammered style (like this one) gives a rustic, natural look, while a brushed satin finish give an antique effect. Combining gold tones and textured finishes creates a band that matches your personal style.
3. Add A Fun Line
Designing a ring with a line detail is a great way to add a little “something extra” to a band without going too funky. Try a classic look with a relief line in the middle of your band, or asymmetric with an off center line towards the top or bottom.

4. Matching Bands
Matching couples bands are gaining popularity – just like your grandparents did way back when! These bands often coordinate or have matching designs, but are made to feature each person’s style.
Like this pair, the matching simplistic gold bands go together perfectly but each have something special.
5. Eternity Bands
Eternity bands are a classic look that always makes a statement! The perfect blend of style and meaning, they are a natural choice for wedding rings.
Plus, they are a great choice for those with a larger knuckle size and smaller finger size since the design continues all the way around. Eternity bands can be a cool way to incorporate family stones into your design too, adding tons of meaning to the piece.
When it comes to your wedding band, the material matters—big time.
Yellow gold is the timeless go-to, offering a warm, classic vibe that’s never out of style. For the modern man, white gold brings a sleek, polished look, especially when paired with platinum.
Feeling romantic?
Rose gold’s distinctive blush tone is a perfect match. For those who need a band that’s as tough as their love, platinum is highly durable and hypoallergenic, ideal for everyday wear.
We don’t recommend using materials like titanium, tungsten, carbide, or cobalt. Why? They’re not exactly easy to crack in emergencies where you might need your ring removed.
Why blend in when you can stand out?
Customizing your wedding band is the way to make it uniquely yours. Start with an engraving—a little love note, a special date, or even initials, on the inside or outside of the band.
Want some sparkle? Adding diamonds or gemstones can elevate your ring to something truly eye-catching. Can’t choose between metals? Mixed metals offer a contemporary edge that’s as unique as your style.
Textured finishes, whether matte, hammered, or brushed, add personality and flair. And for the ultimate personal touch, our custom designs can incorporate special elements, like the silhouette of the place you got engaged, making your band a wearable piece of your love story.
Practical Advice for Choosing Your Ring
Selecting the right wedding band isn’t just about looks—though that’s a big part of it. Durability is key, especially if you’re hands-on or lead an active lifestyle. Pick a material that can handle a little (or a lot) of wear and tear.
Comfort is crucial, too. Whether you lean towards a wider band or something more subtle, it’s got to feel right because you’ll be wearing it every day.
Maintenance is another factor; while platinum shines bright, it needs regular care, whereas tungsten is low-maintenance but non-resizable. Finally, fit is everything. Try on different styles to ensure your ring is snug yet comfortable—after all, you’ll be together for the long haul.
How To Choose Your Wedding Band
When shopping for your wedding band, think about your personal style and what your lifestyle is like. If you are super active or work with your hands, consider getting a silicone ring to wear during hands-on activities, and save your good band for special occasions.
Think about how your ring would be most comfortable for you. Do you prefer a wider or thinner band? Rounded or flat edged? It’s important to try samples of different styles to know exactly what you want!
