"Traditional engagement ring etiquette dictates that the groom buys the engagement ring and the bride's wedding band, and the bride buys the groom's wedding band. An exception to this would obviously be if the groom is going to use an heirloom ring for his wedding band. For many couples today, however, both bride and groom contribute to all the wedding expenses, including the rings."
Mens wedding bands are made of all the precious metals, including yellow gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. For some men, the weight of the metal is a major factor. |

A History of Men's Wedding Rings and Bands There has been a long standing tradition of exchanging wedding bands when a couple marries or creates a union. The wedding band is representative of a promise made between the couple to remain faithful and loyal for as long as they live.Wedding bands go back as far as ancient Egypt. The Egyptians made their rings and bracelets from reeds and other plants growing on the Nile River. These items were exchanged between couples and represented never-ending love for all eternity. Today, some couples choose to exchange wedding bands in addition to or in replacement of the more traditional wedding rings. Men and women both can wear a band and there are hundreds of styles available. If you are a woman who does not wear a lot of jewelry, but would like an elegant piece to display your love and commitment, a band is a wonderful alternative. There are many designs and styles, ranging from the simplest of the plain comfort fit bands to intricately crafted fancy diamond bands. You can get matching wedding bands for the bride and groom as a couple or you each can choose a style that matches you as an individual. American men really started wearing wedding bands after World War II to show their love and commitment to their wives back in the United States. Some of the most popular forms of wedding bands are bands for men, titanium, platinum bands, Celtic, Irish, antique, unique, white gold, yellow gold, wedding band sets, high polish, Milgrain, and satin finished bands.
