The most important factors to consider in men's wedding rings are:
1. Price
2. Durability
Lori Seto wrote about durability for mens wedding rings. She advises, ?Choose platinum over gold; avoid matte finishes (which show scratches), decorative details (easy to blunt after repeated knocks), and gemstones (which can chip, fall out, or trap dirt); and go ergonomic.?
Ergonomic basically means it is built for comfort. Another thing to look for is for a round inside as opposed to a flat inside. (The ring will be more comfortable if the inside is somewhat concave to snuggly fit the finger and it will be less likely to fall off.)
So, where can you buy affordable wedding rings for men? Here are two great online stores that sell inexpensive rings.
Weddingbands2buy.com - This online store sells platinum wedding bands from $175.00 to $614.00. The thinner wedding bands are cheaper than the thicker bands.
E-weddingbands.com - This site has a nice variety of high quality wedding rings. Look for rings with the comfort-fit style. You'll appreciate wearing this type of ring years down the road. At E-weddingbands.com, the platinum bands start at around the high hundreds.
Most ergonomic, platinum wedding bands cost more than $300. However, it's worth it if you want to keep your band for a long time.
If you don't mind used goods, another option is to buy a great quality used band. It's better to buy a cheap good quality used ring than an expensive bad quality new ring. No one is going to ask if it was used or new.
Search for used bands at local jewelers, ebay, and pawn shops. For the best quality, look for platinum bands.
Lastly, find out your ring size before ordering online. The online store will ask for this information. To find out your ring size, head over to a local jeweler. In closing, don't forget these pointers: go for quality (platinum), comfort (ergonomic), and a low price (new or used).
