Change It Out: Established and Contemporary Wedding Ring Varieties for Men

By Cathy Dahl


Jewellery (also spelled jewelry, see spelling differences) is a personal ornament, such as a necklace, ring, or bracelet, made from jewels, precious metals or other substance.

The word jewellery is derived from the word jewel, which was anglicised from the Old French "jouel" in around the 13th century. Further tracing leads back to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently found 100,000 year-old Nassarius shells that were made into beads are thought to be the oldest known jewellery.

Decades have passed since the idea that jewelry was feminine and only for women. More and more men today are sporting several jewelry pieces and people love it. There is a huge market for men's jewelry. The options for men's jewelry pieces are endless. As the love for this look has grown, so has the market. You can purchase any kind of men's jewelry imaginable. New metal materials such as titanium, stainless steel and sterling silver make for sleek modern jewelry pieces any man would be proud to wear. Men everywhere are catching on to the trend and wearing more jewelry than ever before.

Many consumers have shied away from wearing men's silver jewelry because of the association it may bring to their wardrobe. However, due to the swing in trends through mainstream movies and media influences that depict masculine movie stars wearing diamond studded cuff links or onyx rings, the shift in mainstream, male interest for various wearable items is occurring.

Many couples choose the metal for their bands by matching it to their engagement ring. However, don't feel bound to this. A bride can choose to wear her engagement ring on her right hand, and wedding ring on the left. Also, each of you can wear a similar style in different metals. Consider which metals each of you wear regularly - is most of her jewelry silver? Is his watch gold? This makes all the difference and these simple guidelines will help you make the right choice.
