For the guys...

Things to consider when choosing your wedding band

When deciding which men's wedding band is right for you, first you need to consider your lifestyle.

Everybody is different and doen't like the same thing or have the same type of lifestyle. What types of things do you like to do and how exactly will or if it will effect your wedding band. Some things to think about:

Can you wear your wedding band when you work?
Are there special requirements for the type of band that you can wear at work? ? Are you a mechanic, tradesman or working with machinery and equipment that could get caught on a band?


Do you work with your hands - will it be tough on your band?
You need to consider whether your band can stand up to that harsher treatment if your in say- construction. Can your band stand up to the stress and the wear placed on it?

Will you wear your wedding band everyday?
When possible, most men choose to wear their wedding band every day. Though there are some jobs where it's not possible to wear your band to work, or some men prefer not to wear their wedding band every day. This is true for some professions like physicians.


All these things come in to play but here are some some solutions if your newly married and discouraged because you can't wear that new band.  

Wear your wedding band only the weekends and special occasions and choose a band that's a little more unusual so you can enjoy it when you do wear it.

Wear your wedding band on a nice chain that matches your ring if you can't wear it on your finger. Make sure your ring type is suitable to be worn on a chain (for example woven or more intricate bands are not as suitable to be worn on a chain).

If your into extreme sports like rock climbing, football, basketball or surfing and you think it's going to be rough on your band, we recommend that you not wear your wedding band while you play. Especially if it has stones or special hardware or designs.

If your absolutely can't stand to part from your band or your lady just won't allow it- work with someone knowledgeable to pick the perfect band for you!
