Men are Wedding Rings, a Recent Phenomena, or Should a Man Wear a Wedding Ring or not?
December 5, 2009
Men’s wedding rings have become increasingly more common since that time. Often, however, a man usually considers the wearing of a man wedding ring very carefully.
For many men the wearing of mens wedding bands is just a case of being asked to wear jewellery. “It’s just not done by men”. The author, for example, wears a man wedding band, but would never consider wearing any other form of jewellery.
Men’s wedding rings are, in the eyes of some men, effeminate. “Real men” don’t wear rings or jewellery at all. In many cultures the wearing of wedding rings by men would never be considered.
Many men are engaged in trades where the wearing of a man wedding band would be downright dangerous. Which finger is the ring worn on, and why?
Generally a man’s wedding band is worn on the ring finger, the same as for women. So you have both decided that he will wear a men’s wedding ring. Once the man or couple has made the decision to purchase a men’s wedding ring for him there are still choices to make.
It is more common for the man’s wedding ring to be wider than the woman’s. This is because men’s hands and women’s hands are different. A man on the other hand has wider chunkier fingers and so a wider man wedding band is more suited.
This often results in the man ring costing more than the woman’s ring even with matching styles, as the man ring uses more, often expensive, material. A loud outgoing man, for example, can wear a loud outgoing unique men’s ring.
