Beyond the wedding band

A Showcase of the Diverse Choices in Men’s Rings

While men’s choices have traditionally been limited to wedding bands and class rings, men today have significantly more options when it comes to wearing rings as a matter of style.

From durable and rugged to sophisticated and refined, there’s something to suit every man’s tastes and budget.

We’ll take a look at the different materials and styles available today.

Titanium is extremely strong and durable, yet lightweight. It has a lustrous silver color and is corrosionresistant, making it an excellent choice for jewelry intended to be passed down through the generations.

From patterns that mimic tire tread to camouflage patterned inlays, there are dozens of titanium ring styles to choose from.

Highly durable and scratch-resistant, tungsten has a masculine, understated quality that has become very popular in recent years.

Tungsten is versatile and can be dressed up or down. Wear it while casting a fishing line on your getaway vacation, pair it with jeans and a t-shirt, or sport it with a tux at your company’s annual gala.

Beautifully detailed inlays make each of these affordable wooden rings unique.

Alaska Jewelry has solved the problem of warping and wearing with a special process that involves infusing hardwood rings with resin that penetrates the entire depth of the ring.

The infused wooden rings will never chip, fade, or wear.

Colorful and distinctive, Star of Alaska rings imbue a one-of-a-kind quality.

A natural mineral harvested between 1906 and 1938 at the Kennecott Mine, Star of Alaska gets its name from its resemblance to brilliant silver stars against a cobalt-blue Alaskan sky.

Star of Alaska rings are in very short supply, and each piece is unique.

Durable and affordable, black ceramic carbide is ideal for men who prefer understated sophistication.

Scratch resistant like tungsten, yet lightweight like titanium, ceramic carbide is pure black all the way through, not plated.

Ceramic carbide does not conduct electricity, so it can safely be worn by those in industrial jobs.

Developed in feudal Japan by master swordsmiths, Mokume Gane is an ancient Japanese metalworking technique that translates as "wood grain metal.�

Mokume is made by fusing several precious metals and swirling them in a unique design.

The result is a truly one-of-a-kind design in each piece.

Carbon fiber is incredibly lightweight and offers a simple, clean look.

Fiber-like patterns are “woven� into the carbon to create interesting style elements.

Carbon fiber rings are a popular alternative to solid gold, platinum, and other lustrous metals.

If bling is your thing, a decadent gold nugget ring will suit your fancy!
