Choosing the right ring for men is not always easy, especially if it is a gift! Too thin, too showy, or placed on the wrong finger, men are often afraid to wear a ring, women's favorite accessory. Precisely, too many guys think that a ring feminizes an outfit, a style, and refrain from having one. However, a man who wears several rings can be super manly! Find out how to choose the right men's ring!

1. Find the size of a men's ring

Because here size matters, you have to know your ring size! Several methods make it easy to measure a finger circumference and find the perfect size:

If you already have a finger jewel, just measure the inside diameter of it. Then refer to a size chart that will allow you to associate your result with a size.

Use a tape measure and directly measure the circumference of your finger.

If you don't have either, use a thread, ribbon, or cord and wrap it loosely around your finger. Draw markers then transfer them to a ruler.

Otherwise, you can also go to a jeweler! It's super fast and accurate!

Of course, each finger has its size and besides, the index finger of your left hand is certainly not the same size as that of your right hand! Indeed, a few millimeters are enough to go from one size to another!

2. Which metal or material to choose for a men's ring?

The choice of the material of the ring is very important because it largely defines the style of the ring, moreover, some materials are more resistant than others. Yellow gold, for example, is more recommended for women, because its color is quite feminine. If you want to offer a ring to your loved one, prefer a safe bet like platinum and silver.

To choose the material of your ring, ask yourself if it is an accessory that you will wear every day or occasionally. A wooden ring, for example, is very trendy for men, however, it is not a very resistant material.

Finally, your activities and your profession can also determine the subject to choose. If you have your hands in water, you are an electrician or you handle chemical substances, it is better to go with metals that do not move like titanium and tungsten.

Men's rings are made from many materials and metals, however, here are the most common and popular among men:

Silver ring: cheaper than gold, silver is also more discreet, ideal for a ring, a signet ring to wear every day. It is a robust metal that does not require specific maintenance.

Platinum ring: more precious than gold, platinum is a noble metal, hypoallergenic, and highly resistant. However, as it is rare, it remains quite expensive. Platinum is also heavy.

Titanium ring: it is ultra-light and therefore super comfortable to wear. Resistant, its finishes are shiny and original: silver, black, or gold, titanium allows you to wear an atypical ring that reflects your personality.

White gold ring: elegant and discreet, white gold does not tarnish and is easy to combine with other jewelry. However, as it is an alloy, a white gold ring contains many metals including nickel, a highly allergenic material.

Tungsten ring: it is an indestructible and hypoallergenic material that in addition does not cost the eyes of the head. Be careful though, tungsten is so strong that it is difficult to cut in an emergency! In addition, it can easily scratch surfaces.

3. What style of ring for men to adopt?

The men's signet ring

A great classic that is still relevant today! Initially, the signet ring was worn on the little finger. It then allows you to display the coat of arms of your family and sign official documents with a wax seal. Today, it is above all a retro ring that gives style to your outfit. The signet ring is a ring that appeals to men because it has a rather square and masculine shape.
