Wedding rings may be matching as a set or they can be separate but with a pattern or design that compliments each other. For many of the women's styles of rings there is really no comparable men's design, however a beautiful, stylish and very masculine wedding ring can make a perfect match.
While many men's wedding bands are very minimalistic when it comes to design, there is no reason that they have to be plain. Unique profiles and shapes of the band as well as patterns or scrolling work or even accent metals all adds a touch of beauty.
One very popular and highly fashionable idea includes all the styles of tungsten rings for men. They are strong, scratch and tarnish resistant and they are strong enough to stand up to even the most grueling type of work wear. A very bright silver looking metal, tungsten wedding rings, when polished have a highly reflective surface.
Wedding rings made out of tungsten can also be black instead of silver. The ring itself is put through an ionization process that permanently alters the molecular structure of the ring, producing the deep black color. These black rings are very striking in appearance.
Inlayed wedding rings using tungsten, more properly known as tungsten carbide, combine both tungsten and yellow gold for a very unique looking wedding band. These tungsten rings for men can have a sterling silver inlay, which is actually a slightly different color than the tungsten, resulting in a very subtle yet noticeable design.
For more elaborate and ornate patterns that are still very masculine you may wish to consider the Greek keys pattern, which is very traditional. Celtic designs that show eternity and endlessness are wonderful additions to wedding rings.
Even without a pattern you can still add a unique look to men's or women's wedding rings through the type of finish on the metal of the band. Most rings, including those made of tungsten, will come in the traditional polished look but also in a satin or brushed finished for a more subtle finish.
By mixing the types of finish on different parts of the ring a very subtle yet definable pattern can be created. These patterns may wear, over time, on softer metals like gold but they will stay vibrant and beautiful with a very hard metal like tungsten.
Wedding rings that match are always going to be popular for couples, however with some bridal sets a man's ring is not going to be offered. In these situations consider complementary styles of wedding rings that look masculine but still match the bride's rings.
